Scroll down and check out the video with the two guys in front of the barn door.

These are the Howe Brothers and they have developed RipSaw and 80mph Track Vehicle (315hp) that can accelerate from 0-50mph in 3.5 seconds.
They entered Ripsaw 1 into the DARPA comp and this is a test run to see if there GPS gear can navigate the RipSaw around a flat field. Quite impressive. Not new technology by any means but good to watch all the same.
Thought some people here might be interested when I saw this clip. Thanks to VWNuts who first showed me the homepage link.
Now it just needs a fluro shirt, an arm, a spoon and it's own pen.
