A few months back, this got some play on the RCGroups.com UAV websaite, but I have not heard much since the initial conversations. Is anyone planning a visit or in the area to report? As of today, only four teams qualified for the outback challenge and three highschool teams for the target drop event.
News Update:
ARCAA is the sponsoring organization. They have some news links about the challenge here:

Today was the 'ball drop' part of the contest. Right now (Wed in AU) is the Search and Rescue part.
