Yeah... The only two team got the farthest, ~ 7 miles from the starting
point. They both got stuck in gravel embankment, front wheel spun and could
not get out. According to some insider info, speculation indicates the
possible errors in the GPS signalling, because the live feed map was not
even working. Well, a lot of hard work involved... The Red Term (from CMU)
& another one Ohio State should party tonight anyway...
The next race will be another 18 months away.
