After more than 4 hours only 6 out of 89 teams that originaly entered the competion could complete the race. It was very close, but at the end we “only” reached the 2nd place and have been awarded with USD 1,000,000 for further research in this topic.

The final results are:

  1. Carnegie Mellon University (Boss) – 4h 10min 20sec
  2. Stanford University (Junior) – 4h 29min 28sec
  3. Virginia Tech (Odin) – 4h 36min 38sec
