Six robots finished the race. It was sixty miles of urban driving where bots had to negotiate four-way stops with each other, pass each other, merge, obey all traffic laws, stop lights, dot dot dot. Stanford came in second with Virginia Tech in third place and M.I.T. taking fourth. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
