DARPA's Robotics Challenge is a collection of some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, and the brilliant and unique machines they build and command.

If you haven't already been watching, the finals kicked off today. And in it, 25 teams with 25 robots compete to complete a series of seemingly simple goals:

Walk to a vehicle
Drive the vehicle
Open a door
Find and close a valve
Bust through a wall
A surprise task (today it was to pull a lever)
Navigate some rubble
Climb up some stairs
