The Competitions
Each year we work hard to design, manufacture, and compete with a new rover in the Anatolian Rover Challenge or European Rover Challenge. Each of the competitions have two main components, technical documentation, and a series of missions:
The technical documentation section involves presenting our design and manufacture process. This is used by the competition panel to select the finalists that will be invited to the competition to compete in the missions.
The missions vary from year to year but involve tasks such as sample collection, autonomous driving, and search and rescue missions.
Anatolian Rover Challenge (ARC)
ARC ran for the first time in July 2022, in which we were the only team from the UK to compete! The competition takes place in Istanbul, Turkey and they are planning another event for 2025!
European Rover Challenge (ERC)
The team competed at ERC in 2019. It is one of the biggest international space and robotics events in the world. The finals take place in Poland in September.
Development Rover
A more experimental rover of a smaller size is being built to test new features and to take to outreach events!
