Video: Watch the DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials
Day 1 and Day 2 videos of the DRC Trials
UPDATE 12/21/13 Saturday 7:44 pm ET: The DRC Trials have ended (check out the final results!). The Day 1 and Day 2 feeds we posted below are now archived recordings of the events.)
We're at the DARPA Robotics Challenge all day today and tomorrow. It's going to be craaazy, and with so many events going on all at once, there's no way we're going to be able to bring you everything in real time. Fortunately, DARPA has a bunch of camera crews who will be live streaming almost all events, so just start playing the videos below to tune right in.
Just a quick note: when DARPA talks about "Red" teams and "Blue" teams, they're differentiating between teams that brought their own robots for Track A and D ("Red") and teams using ATLAS for Track B and C ("Blue"). To simplify logistics, there are separate competition areas for Red and Blue, so there are several competitions going on at once.
