Hi everyone,

September is the time we start our monthly meetings again, and we have a good one to start with! Travis Wood, AE6GA, has been working on autonomous vehicle software systems for the DARPA Grand Challenge (DGC) since the DGC was first announced. For those of you who don't know, a two million dollar prize is being offered this year for the first autonomous vehicle to complete the course between Barstow, CA and Primm, NV. Travis will be talking his experiences with the DPC, about the software to do the job, and is bringing a robot to demonstrate the software he has written.

Meetings are open to the public, so please invite your friends to attend as well!

When: Friday, October 15, 2005 Time: 7:30 PM (Doors open at 6:45!) Location: Goleta Union Schools Admin. Board Room 401 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta
