Team Victor Tango is comprised of Virginia Tech undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and a Virginia Tech autonomous systems spin off company, Torc Technologies. The team is competing in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. This competition pushes the limits of robotics, requiring teams to develop completely autonomous ground vehicles capable of navigating an urban environment. Vehicles must be able to perceive roads, road markings, and other traffic while planning an optimal route, avoiding collisions, making three point turns, parking, and adhering to the rules of the road.
