Caltech's vehicle was named “Bob,” and there was a lot of cheering when it took off. “Go, Bob!” “WOOOOO, BOB!” I admit I was hoping that the local kids would do well.

Bob went through a barbed wire fence, but it made it through (though it was then trailing a length of barbed wire behind it). 1.3 miles out it went off course and hit another barbed wire fence. This time it got stuck for good. 5th place for Bob.
