Competitions
The TROS team is currently participating in a variety of robotics competitions, with the focus for the 24-25 year being URC and CoSMiC challenges.
University Rover Challenge (URC) is the world’s premier robotics competition for college students. Held annually in the desert of southern Utah in the United States, URC challenges student teams to design and build the next generation of Mars rovers that will one day work alongside astronauts exploring the Red Plane.
The culmination of the Lunabotics virtual challenge will be the design, build and operation of a prototype Lunar construction robot.
