Team Description* |
Team
VictorTango is the outgrowth of a longstanding research
and educational program in autonomous vehicle systems at
Virginia Tech. The team has been catalyzed by
three previous successful Grand Challenge entries (Cliff
in 2004, Cliff and Rocky in 2005). To provide the
experience and continuity necessary to field a
successful Urban Challenge entry, Virginia Tech has
partnered with TORC Technologies as a major
subcontractor. TORC is a university spin-off
company whose founders and partners were participants in
the previous DARPA Challenges. Team VictorTango
brings together a group of undergraduate students,
graduate students, faculty and practicing engineers
under the guidance of a distinguished advisory board.
Our team shares DARPA’s vision of an autonomous urban
vehicle; we are committed to making this vision a
reality. |
