You could do something like the Arduino Christmas tree web cam a while back. I'm not talking 1080p but just something simple so the rest of us that can't go feel included? =P</p>

1. first item<br>
3. second item<br>
2. third item<br>
...with literal numerals like "1. first item", and you'll get an ordered list.</p>

It might not fit through the 3' ring, but it might certainly "crush" the competition! (hopefully not spectators)</p>

Here's an idea for anyone that wants to take it.<br>
1. Built vehicle with camera.<br>
2. Have a camera and no GPS on the vehicle.<br>
3. Put some sort of target sign on Nate and have the vehicle follow him.<br>
4. ???<br>
5. PROFIT!<br>
BTW, why is there a bullet point list, but no numbered list in the formatting? Seriously.</p>

With the amount of power you guys have a time bonus in exchange for opting to tow some dead weight would be a snap for that beast. (no such rule exists and I don't make the rules, of course)</p>

I have to take off my employee hat for a minute and show some excitement. Can't wait for this year's AVC! Having seen some of the in-progress rigs by folks here in the building I know SparkFun will do well representing itself. Seeing some of the entrants start to pile up I know we'll also have some excellent competitors.<br>
I'm excited to see where/how we set up the massive pit area since now we've overtaken the whole building. I'm excited to see the line-up of food vendors and the stands and the scoreboard all laid out for hundreds of spectators. I'm excited to set up all the swivel-cams around the campus to capture the action from crazy angles. And I'm excited to go afterparty it up at the Dark Horse after a full day of races!<br>
The AVC is by far my favorite SparkFun event. It gets bigger and crazier every year! It's like fast-paced robot Christmas in April!<br>
