DARPA Site Visit
For the site visit, the vehicle was required to traverse a 200m course with randomly
placed obstacles (trash cans). The Black Pearl performed nearly flawlessly, staying
within most course boundaries and bumping only one obstacle throughout four runs.

 Here is the official Team Tormenta
Promotional Video. See the capabilities of our actuated vehicle, plus a
special sneak peek at some of our sensors and inside the The Black
Pearl.
The human in the car is entirely for safety purposes. The steering,
gas, and brake are all hooked to the computers.

Fully
Autonomous Waypoint Navigation
As part of our application video, we included this clip of the car
navigating itself 
fully
autonomously to the GPS waypoint specified by the orange cone.
There's no human involvement, remote or otherwise. The steering, gas,
and brake are all hooked to the computers.

The
successful Palos Verdes High School
QID (Qualification) run. In this 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.
