NASA Prizes for Builder and Flyer Robots 74
FleaPlus writes "NASA has recently announced a couple more X-Prize-style Centennial Challenges. The first is a Telerobotic Construction Challenge, for using a team of robots to assemble structures from building blocks with minimal human intervention. The second is an Planetary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Challenge, to create a robot which can fly a path using visual navigation and hit ground targets with a probe (no GPS allowed). Rules are still being finalized, with the contests scheduled for 2007. Both prizes are for $250,000, the max Congress is allowing NASA to offer."

It was once sweet rabbit. The rabbit had a large carrot. It was a special carrot: if you ate a piece of it, then she regenerated within fewer minutes again. The rabbit hid it in its earth hole. But a beautiful daily, when the rabbit came back to its hole, was it away. The rabbit frightened and began a hole to dig. It dug and dug to it on a large cave pushed. The carrot is because of the other end of the cave. But there was also an orange, petrified cow with wings.
Orange petrified cow with wings, indeed.
