Last night we were informed by DARPA that Sting 1 will not be able to qualify for the finals. They requested that our race slots be used for teams that might make the race. Obviously we agreed on the schedule changes to accommodate teams that might make the finals.
It has been a race with some serious challenges after the crash last Saturday. We have worked hard to rectify the problems and to address the unforeseen problems that we have encountered. Unfortunately it was not enough.
The team is obviously very disappointed. We have worked hard to get to the race and have a truly amazing platform. We are now going to watch the rest of the qualifiers and the finals to learn as much as possible. In addition the team will take it easy a few days to recover from weeks of long hours.
