It's funny that Brumley's first-place-winning robot CTF team is going to be competing against his first-place-winning human CTF team at DEFCON.

The DARPA team is headed up by professor David Brumley. He also leads the Carnegie Mellon CTF hacker group PPP (Plaid Parliament of Pwning) that often wins at DEFCON's CTFs. This article mentioned that the Mayhem robot is going to be battling the human CTF players at DEFCON. I wonder who he'll be rooting for.

As of this afternoon when I walked by Mayhem was in last place, and PPP was in second place
Brumley likes to imply that his company's team is the "CMU team." Either way he'll see it as a CMU win.
