They might be... there is no real size issue here. Its just the automation rules. They could be Hummers or could be little golf carts or something.
Here is the main statement in the rules:
1.1 Purpose of Challenge
DARPA is seeking to promote innovative technical approaches that will enable the autonomous operation of unmanned ground combat vehicles. In the future, such combat vehicles will operate over varied terrain without the benefit of road signs, pre-programmed routes, etc. Autonomous vehicles must navigate from point to point in an intelligent manner so as to avoid or accommodate obstacles and other impediments to the completion of their missions. For example, an extremely large vehicle that simply travels on a straight line between two points by climbing over or breaking through everything in its path (and destroying what cannot support that movement) is not the type of intelligent solution that is sought. Vehicles that cannot demonstrate intelligent autonomous behavior will not be accepted as Participants.Comment

nope...they're fullsized vehicles...like a humvee, for instance. and they aren't remote controlled, either. they're designed to drive by themselves...hence, the challenge.Originally posted by Bad_Dog

I think it would be so cool to work on a vehicle for this. I mean it would take a huge team and some real money to do it but really cool stuff
Soon guys.. soon. I working on replacing the motor mounts and back shock mounts on it right now. Been getting a bit squirrely back there lately so I got concerned about it. That rubber is over 25 years old and I got replacements in Urethane on the way now. For now I afraid to ride it out too far or too fast until I am certain those are fixed. Stuff like that can be dangerous so no need to risk it. Already replaced all the shocks, wheel and tires and all so I know its down to the old mounts now.Comment
