Polaris customized the vehicles with a remote SafeStop Electronic Throttle Kill and Brake Actuation technology and it features a 1,000-pound capacity bed with space for the robot???s power supply. The competition is based on eight tasks in a simulated disaster relief scenario which would likely include utility vehicles because of their versatility and off-road capabilities. The Rangers will be used for the driving task and will need to navigate a??a 250-foot course with obstacles and varied widths and exhibit the ability to turn the vehicle in a full circle.??The DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials will be held Dec. 20-21 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., and are open to the public. <a title=\"Polaris UTVs for the DARPA Robotics Challenge\" href=\"http:\/\/thebusinessofrobotics.com\/research\/polaris-provides-wheels-for-darpa-robotics-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more: ??Theroboticsofbusiness.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment:<\/strong>??
