Description:
The team will design, build, test and prepare an autonomous robot for a lunar mining competition sponsored by NASA. Each year NASA hosts a robotics competition challenging university teams to build a robot that can endure the hazards of extra-terrestrial mining operations. During the competition, our robot must complete the following tasks within a 10 minute window: collect and deposit the most gravel by mass, autonomously traverse simulated lunar terrain and avoid obstacles; and effectively manage the dust produced during mining.
