Team Gray to be Featured on Discovery Science Channel

"Robocars" World Premiere to Air on Monday

July 11, 2008 - GrayMatter's very own Team Gray will be featured alongside ten other 2007 Urban Challenge teams in an upcoming special on the Discovery Science Channel. Tune in with us on Monday and watch 'Plan B' perform its nearly-flawless "site visit." Keep following the series to watch ten teams from all over the country prepare frantically for their chance at the $2,000,000 grand prize. "Robocars" will take viewers from the on-site evaluations made by DARPA representatives, all the way through the National Qualifying Event (NQE), and finally to the Urban Challenge main event in Victorville, California. The series focuses on 10 of the 89 applicants as they tell of their trials and tribulations and chart their individual courses to Victorville. You might already know the outcome, but you've never seen the behind-the-scenes struggle like this!

"Robocars" premieres on Monday, July 14th at 10pm EST. The series will air every Monday at 10pm EST through August 4th, and will be followed by a recap of the series on Tuesday, August 12th at 6pm EST. Team Gray in particular will be featured in the first and third episodes of the series. If you can't make the 10pm airing, there are many other show times listed here.
