The DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals 2014 has announced Google’s SCHAFT robot will compete in the self-funded track. This move frees up funding for two more teams to the DRC Finals 2014, while a third team will compete as part of the self-funded track D.

On March 21, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced Google’s SCHAFT robot will switch to the unfunded Track D for the DRC Finals 2014, which allows for two more teams to compete in the robotics challenge. The robotics teams will compete for a grand prize of $2 million.
