Only 6 of the 11 cars actually finished the race. You should edit the title.

The article you linked to pretty clearly states that a number of the cars did not finish and were pulled from the race.

From the Popular Mechanics article you linked to:

"...when asked exactly why Terramax was pulled from the race, Tether responded, 'Because it was about ready to knock the building down.' Sounds about right."

Indeed. Only CMU, Stanford, VT, UPenn/Lehigh, MIT, and Cornell finished the race. The other 5 teams were eliminated during Mission 1 due to crashes and other problems.

Thanks - I've updated the post. Reuters's write-up confused me!

Cheers,
