It was incredibly exciting for us to be in attendance at the NQE for the Urban Challenge and to watch the final race on November 3. We regret to announce that we were not accepted as a finalist for the Urban Challenge. The selection process was extremely rigorous: Though DARPA had announced their intent to accept 20 finalists (from amoung the 35 semi-finalists), only 11 teams moved on.

We would like to extend our congratulations to all the finalist teams, and especially to the six teams that finished the race: Cornell, Ben Franklin Racing, MIT, VictorTango, Stanford Racing and Tartan Racing.

PAVE would especially like to thank all of the individuals and organizations that have supported our group over the past year, including our sponsors, faculty and staff of the School of Engineering, parents and friends. Your support has enabled an exciting and instructional experience for all of the students involved and we are extremely grateful.

PAVE is currently in the process of evaluating our performance and planning future projects - stay tuned!
