Practice, practice, practice

At this hour, the IRV team is running the Indy Robot vehicle through a series of test runs in preparation for tomorrow's next qualification attempt. Hopes are running high that the vehicle will perform up to its capabilities and complete the course for the first time.

As I write this a couple teams chatting nearby say they've been told that their teams are already in the finals. Apparently those vehicles with several solid runs have been advanced to the final competition. Hopefully the IRV team will get similar news tomorrow or Wednesday. Frankly, it's down to the wire now and the IRV must perform extremely well to advance. Here's hoping that's just what happens :0)
