Sparkfun is planning a big ol’ robot race around their building in Boulder, CO -

April 15th, 2009 10AM – Rain, shine, or snow

Create a vehicle that can autonomously navigate
around the SparkFun building

$300 cash first prize

Sounds like fun, though I’m kind of disappointed the prize wasn’t some shiny new Sparkfun awesomeness – oh well, cash will do! More details available here – Autonomous vehicle race
