There's no power steering to help out and the gearbox is manual so there's extra work to do there too.<br>It is a great car though. I've got one :-)<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 2:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NC State preps Lotus Elise for 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/nc-state-preps-lotus-elise-for-2007-darpa-urban-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/nc-state-preps-lotus-elise-for-2007-darpa-urban-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Doc Brown: "They way I see it, if you're going to build a robot out of a car, why not do it with some style."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeremy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 1:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NC State preps Lotus Elise for 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/nc-state-preps-lotus-elise-for-2007-darpa-urban-challenge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/nc-state-preps-lotus-elise-for-2007-darpa-urban-challenge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Go PACK!!
