Well, at least NC State beat Carolina
The NCSU’s Lone Wolf was eliminated from the DARPA Grand Challenge they were in the top 20, but did not make it to the finals. According to a phone interview with the News And Observer, the Insight Racing team was not given a reason for being eliminated, but they do have their logs and other data to build upon. The Insight Racing Blog mentioned that they were proud of the record that they had, and of the support they had recieved from their sponsors and the community. This run was not without some great achievements.
They broke the autonomous speed record at VIR (Virginia International Raceway).
The team provided opportunities for over 40 students to gain experience in a high profile and hands-on set of experiences.
The frustrating part is not knowing why they were eliminated. These guys have their logs to look back at, and they’ve been able to see what the lone wolf did while they were not controlling it, but they were given no real reason for the elimination.
We love to hear from customers, either in comments or in the forums. It helps us build a better NOC. At least we get to know what we are doing well and what needs work. This is yet another way that the Insight team had it harder than us. We are proud of you guys, and we have to ask, “What’s next?”.
