Highlights (and lowlights) from all three heats of the PBR class of the 2014 Sparkfun Autonomous Vehicle competition. Won by my "Driving Miss Dizzy" ArduRover, thanks to Tridge and Tom Coyle for coaching and code. Thrills, spills and some very close calls!

A suggestion would be in the Carolinas, sorta a half-way point for those in the upper North and deep South.
Timing it with some sort of STEM based even might be an idea with merit. On the other hand, most of those traveling to such an event are involved in some form of indoor robotic challenge like Legos. If held at a university, planning around football games would be needed. Junior colleges often have large parking areas and usually don't have issues with football games. Some high schools have adequate facilities for ground and air events.
How many 'East Coast AVCs' would it take to determine if folk want to play?
If we build it, will they show up? I've got a rover project semi-started...as well as a bunch of others started too.
Busy people are those that gets things done... and some things put off as well.
