What I'm asking is can the controlling software be sent from a base-station wirelessly to the vehicle, as long as the software itself is autonomous?<br>
I'm not planning to attend, but I think it is something people might want to consider to have high processing power and still keep the vehicles small and light.</p>

Do they have feet sticking out at the bottom to stabilize them? If so, what are the dimensions of the feet?<br>
Interested in the width of the arch (the solid part around the hole). Crochet sounds like 1/8" wire!<br>
Are these obstacles going to remain fixed on race day (meaning that they could, in theory, be mapped on race day before the races). Or are they moved between (or just prior to) each trial so that mapping can not be done?<br>
Finally, am I correct in understanding that hitting a barrel or arch doesn't reduce the score for the run (if the vehicle still completes the course)?</p>

"Look for the arch/pylon/pothole after this corner but not this corner."<br>

Also I want to see one of the planes at least -try- for the arch.</p>

See <a href="http://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=6287" rel="nofollow">the FAA fact sheet</a> for a quick introduction and <a href="http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/1acfc3f689769a56862569e70077c9cc/%24FILE/ATTBJMAC/ac91-57.pdf" rel="nofollow">Rule AC91-57</a> for details. In particular, vehicles must stay less than 400' AGL, and be successfully flight tested prior to the competition day. Additionally, the competition is on the hairy edge of being within 3 miles of the muni airport, and SFE should notify the airport authorities about the competition.<br>
The "is of sufficient distance from populated areas" may be a sticking point with the airport. Perhaps a max weight limit would be acceptable, with failsafe required on <em>all</em> aircraft regardless of weight.</p>

I don't trust google maps for gps locations especially since local atmospheric effects can shift things around a bit day to day.</p>

UAV currently in the making.....hope theres a competition next year. Is there a way that you guys could stream the competition to your website?? I'd love to watch!!!</p>

Last year, there was some talk of making a rocket-glider with four stages, where a stage was fired on each side of the building. This rocket glider could be a stubby-winged X-15-variant that concentrated more on speed and less on maximum CL. An alternative would be to use a pylon racer or even a dynamic-soaring sailplane, equipped with the four-booster stages. Both these aircraft have a huge capacity for pulling Gs (high CL) without much airspeed loss due to drag. If the vehicle is fast enough, there is no reason to bother with flying the four legs. Instead, it could be one large orbit around the building, with rockets firing at each 90 degree point.<br>
If you send in your robot to self-compete, please also provide a bucket of safety goggles.</p>

Question the second: Must the entire vehicle complete the course? i.e. are multi-stage vehicles allowed?<br>
Question the third: How do you guys feel about violations of the Model Rocket Safety Code?</p>

No need though, just go to google maps and do it yourself. google maps has a feature where you can click a point and get a lat/lon value.</p>

If not, and I sneak into your parking lot at night and make these measurements myself, is that cheating?</p>
