The successful Palos Verdes High School QID (Qualification) run. In this video, QID Video
the vehicle navigates between DARPA-selected GPS (Global Positioning System)
latitude/longitude pairs called "waypoints", while avoiding pre-positioned obstacles.

One of the obstacles (A blue van with SCORE Off-Road racing bumper stickers)
was positioned directly on the GPS waypoint. The PVRW vehicle was one of the few
vehicles which never touched that van during the whole QID week.

Several of the four students who wrote the core software onboard the vehicle are now on Team Tormenta.
