Sparkfun AVC 2016

Sparkfun announced that the 2016 Autonomous Vehicle Competition will be happening in September this year!

That's good. It'll be cooler than summer, almost certainly sunny and a pleasant 70-80 degrees. Plus we have loads of extra time to procrastinate. Win-win!

The big news is they're making some kind of addition to the AVC involving -- if the pictorial hint is to be believed -- little kids driving around in home made go-karts?!? Or... I really don't know...

What does it mean!?!?!?

Maybe autonomous road racing? That'd be sweet. Maybe kids will race with bots? Maybe robot kids will... nevermind.

What about me? Though life has been leaving boot prints on my backside for the better part of the last year, IF the AVC additions are super-interesting, Data Bus may have to make a comeback.

I haven't forgotten about rovers. In fact, I've been working on some Rover-related goodies in the meanwhile...
