Quick notes on the nature of the competition.

View of the '07-'08 IGVC course

The goal of the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition is autonomous traversal of an obstacle course composed of lanes, traffic barrels, and other obstacles. It is held in Rochester, Michigan each year at Oakland University,  here.

There are three major components of the competition, the obstacle course, the navigation challenge, and the technical paper. There is also the optional JAUS demonstration. Before all of this, however, comes qualification.

Qualification

Qualification is a scaled-down version of the large course. It tests pretty much all of the capabilities outlined in the rules.
