Summery of Robots on a Rocky Road

We chose this artricle because it looked like a interesting articl to read. Our article was about vehicles that can travel 142 across the desert between L.A. and Las Vegas. There are no drivers in these cars but they are controlled by a robot. After 4 hours of the race all the viehicles had crashed. All of which included stalling, fires, and leaking oil. None of the machine came close to finishing. That was the first try so nobody expected perfection. The best thing about trying these robots is that we could use these things to replace people war and other dangerous situations. By the year 2015, the cogress has ordered the army to replace at least 1/3 of the vehicles with these robots. Over all we liked this article because we like learning about something diferent once in a while.
