Charles Sturt University (CSU) information technology (IT) students have designed and constructed robots to compete in a unique race. The race was staged on Tuesday 7 October in the Mining Research Lab at the CSU School of Computing and Mathematics in Bathurst around a track layout similar to the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit. Researcher and PhD candidate Mr Allen Benter said, "The robotic cars were programmed to respond to sensor input and make autonomous decisions to navigate around the track and avoid obstacles such as other cars, without any driver control. The prize for the winning team was a visit to V8 Supercars motor racing legend Dick Johnson Racing at the Pits at Mount Panorama on Thursday 9 October prior to the 2014 Great Race. There they learned how modern race cars collect data and how that data is analysed to improve driver and vehicle performance." The School of Computing and Mathematics would like to thank the sponsors for assisting with the running of the competition this year:  XMOS Semiconductor (UK), Dick Johnson Racing Team, and LEGO Australia.
