That is why "...this year's competition is just setting the stage for next year's race, when larger boats will set sail from France and hopefully find their way across the Atlantic to the finish line in the Caribbean...".

BTW a mini sub with floating antennae could receive GPS signals.]]>Sep 5th 2007 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/robots-set-sail-in-microtransat-challenge/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/robots-set-sail-in-microtransat-challenge/
This is so interesting. If i understand this correctly, they just let the boats out and greet them at the the Caribbean.

It is like around the world in 30 days.

Here is the big deal:
can we build bigger boats like this, and then let them go out and harvest the solar and wing energy and then bring the energy back to us?
