I sent a message to info@austinrobot.com and got this back:
"Thanks for the email! I don't know if my brother Art replied already or not (we both get the emails sent to "info"). I would have updated our website sooner had I known that members of the USAFA were curious about our team! Thanks for asking! The summary is that Carnegie Mellon won 1st place, Stanford won 2nd place and Virginia Tech won 3rd place. Our team was one of the top 21 teams during the semifinals. DARPA had said they would (might) take up to 21 teams to the final event so we were crossing our fingers during the announcement of the finalists. In the end DARPA decided to advance only 11 teams to the final event. DARPA Director Dr. Tony Tether made the announcement of the finalists and he said that he was riding one of the "chase" vehicles during one of the trials when the robot car they were following made a sudden U-Turn and started heading directly towards their car on a full head-on collision course... He said that's when he decided to trim the field from 21 finalists to only 11... Hopefully our team will advance to the final event for the next Grand Challenge! By the way, I can send you a link to our photo album if you are interested. Thanks for the inquiry and thanks for all you guys do for our country!
Jorge"
