RARS Race Report & News About Upcoming Races June 10th, 2001 RARS is the Robot Auto Racing Simulation, a competition for programmers and an on-going challenge for practicioners of Artificial Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control. It consists of a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track, a graphic display of the race, and a separate control program (robot "driver") for each car. All RARS software and activities are free and open to the public. It runs on DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Linux, and several other platforms. For more information e-mail to gcp@sjeng.org.

Congrats to all RARS programmers. OpenGL acceleration in Linux is still a mess for me though, but I suspect that is a driver problem. With the software working, and the website up to date, maybe it's a good time to try to make some publicity. Any ideas? Greetings, Gian-Carlo
