Grand Robot Challenge is on again

I love this contest. Get a bunch of robot controlled cars, (no human interaction at all) let them loose in the desert and see which robot/car can make it furthest on a challenging off-road course. If I remember correctly last year no car made it through more than about 5% of the course. Quite a few of them turned over or got stuck while trying to navagate simple bridges and so forth. $2 million shmacks though. Almost makes it worth spending $30 million on designing a good robot controlled car and sending it in.
