7 hours 32 minutes for Stanford.

The CMU teams came in within 20 minutes or so after that.


The PDF press release at
http://www.grandchallenge.org/downloads/GC05%20Winner.pdf includes
the following:

quote
The first four finishers entered the history books as being the first
ground vehicle robots to travel a great distance at relatively high
speed within a specified time frame. Stanley's average speed over the
131.6-mile desert course was 19.1 mph. Sandstorm averaged 18.6 mph,
H1ghlander 18.2 mph, and KAT-5 17.5 mph.

Couldn't follow the webcast; no cell service over most of the Long
Beach-Catalina course, and the sailboat I was on didn't have satellite
phone or Dish TV.


Congrats Stanford, CMU, Gray Team, and Terramax.
