>Could you post any info on the Flying Robotic Vehicle Contest
>in JULY ?


AUVS (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems) is hosting an Aerial
Robotics Competition in July. Site, Georgia Tech.  The task is as follows:

The venue is tennis court size with a 3 ft. barrier across the center.
There are two 6ft round pedestals, one on each side of the "fence",
each with a xenon stobe in it.  The task is two move six disks from
one pedestal to the other without touching ground anywhere but on the
pedestals, and obviously staying within the confines of the court.
3 min. time limit.

The prize is up to at least 10k right now, and teams can be student,
student/faculty, student/industrial, etc.  Technically you were supposed 
to have registered by Dec. 31.
