I listened to MIT's DARPA Balloon Challenge team leader, Riley Crane--the=
organizer for the winning team--speak on NPR's Science Friday last night=
. The amount of information he was allowed to share about the team's stra=
tegies was limited as it is still being carefully analyzed, but key was t=
he team's consideration of all aspects of the information gathering proce=
ss, and the designing of specific apps/instruments for analyzing and sift=
ing through the data that was reported to them. I took a look at their we=
bsite on Friday, the 4th, knowing that this challenge was probably too te=
mpting for a group of MIT graduate researchers in Human Dynamics to pass =
up. It was clear they were ahead of the curve!
Nevertheless, it was fun to be involved in this balloon-chase, and to see=
how other teams set themselves up to win. Thanks for organizing us!
