After a two-year break since its last robot race, the U.S. government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will hold the semifinals of its Urban Grand Challenge from October 26 through October 31.
Teams are expected to descend on the dusty town of Victorville, Calif., to race their modified robotic cars through a mock city at the former George Air Force Base. The winner of first place will take home $2 million; second place, $1 million and third, $500,000.
