The 2 teams that went the furthest were the Red Team (Sandstorm) and SciAutonics II (Avidor 2004); each traversing 7 miles of the course. Next came dear old Dad with 6 miles and Golem who stumbled 5 miles. CalTech's Bob, SciAutonics I (RASCAL) and Team TerraMax (TerraMax) each went 1 mile. All of the others either withdrew before the start or had problems in, or just out of, the starting chute area....

All the pictures are HERE.

Here's the short version:
