Students in the Aerospace Design Robotics Capstone class competed in two different competitions, taking home awards in both! Two teams competed in an autonomous rover challenge with Colorado Space Grant Consortium at the Great Sand Dunes National Park where students designed, built, and tested their robots from scratch to autonomously navigate the sandy, rocky, difficult terrain of the Great Sand Dunes National Park. After a difficult time getting either bot to move the sand, the two teams combined the best of their bots to make one that was able to work, taking home the Mars Opportunity award!
