Want to watch Pensacola's hometown team in the DARPA Robotics Challenge?

You can also go to live.curiositystream.com  to see each team’s run Friday and Saturday if you want to watch. The Pensacola MESS Hall, 116 N. Tarragona St., is streaming the event as well, so you can watch there.

Through Facebook, the MESS Hall shared that the IHMC robot is slated for 11:45 a.m. Central Time for its first run.

"During yesterday's practice, they just drove the car, exceeding DARPA's speed limit on their last try. Hoping for all 8 points today. Let the challenge begin!" the Facebook post says.

A team from the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition are competing in the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals, to be held June 5-6 in Pomona, Calif., is sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

It will test 25 teams from around the world in a challenge course designed to emulate a disaster area where humans could not safely go. IHMC’s team will be using the 6-foot-tall Atlas robot, built by Boston Dynamics but with the all-important controlling software designed by IHMC researchers.
