[Chris Elston 79]

Hey, wait a minute....and here all along I thought these DARPA dudes were really smart brain-e-act people that program C++ in the corner of the room using Linux and terminal sessions.... Boy was I wrong.... Take a look in the back of this "MIT" entry this year... http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/darpa2007...wits/1000063038 I spy TWO PLCs, and a Eaton Touch panel...Man....us automation boys can hang with that MIT entry....

Yes, I think we can beat them. Where do we sign up?

Lol - nope, you were right all along - but those brains can learn to program PLCs. I'm sure you guys could run circles around them in that category. You guys up for automating cars?

[Sleepy Wombat 27]

I am sure that we could.... also ours would be a work of art, (at least something to be proud of) not a birds nest ....
