It's time to see what has transpired over the last year and a half.

Our job is to take the technical excuse off the table, so people can no longer say it can't be done.

The Grand Challenge has been conquered.

In 2004, we thought it was quite an achievement that a robot was able to go about seven and a half miles. But the results of this (year's semifinals) tell me that we will leave that in the dust of the Mojave.

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.

Focus 90% of your time on solutions and only 10% of your time on problems.
