Comparing the sophistication involved in those vehicles and lego mindstorms
based robots are far stretching. The links you provide are not related to
lego mindstorms, but they definitely
do look interesting, of course. Some of the teams at the DARPA challenge
were led by renowned robotics scientist, such as Dr. Red William Whittaker.
The computing power of some of
equipment is superb... Some part of terrain is very very rugged, across
brushes, steep hills covered with rocks, ridges, feets-deep water, just
treacherous roads.

| Was it last year or the year before that the big competition was the underater robot which had to navigate thru some sort of course. IIRC, the MIT team came in first, but their 'bot cost some outrageous amount--and the second place team used 2 RCX's (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
