Astrobotics Team Continues Winning Tradition
|
The UA Astrobotics team earned a ninth win in NASA’s Lunabotics Challenge, a robotic mining competition held in a simulated lunar environment. Teams are judged on their robot’s performance alongside deliverables turned in throughout the year: a project management plan, systems engineering paper, a technical presentation slide show, an outreach paper, and finally, a “proof of life” video of their functional rover. The team won first place in robot autonomy, second place in mining/construction, and second place for their technical paper for a first-place finish overall.
