Abstract
Two Virginia Tech engineering teams are among only 40 in the nation to qualify for the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge autonomous vehicle competition, which offers a cash prize of $2 million. In addition, Virginia Tech is one of only two competitors to qualify two vehicles -- "Rocky" and "Cliff" -- for the race across the Mojave Desert on Oct. 8.
