Robotics Challenge 2017 Recap

 

We had some amazing robots this year, including some of the most advanced over the event's 10 year history. Since some of the teams were not able to travel to the Dunes this year, I am showcasing some of the great videos of their designs and sharing two video summaries of the Saturday at the Dunes

During the Colorado Space Grant Symposium Undergraduate Space Research Symposium, we recognized four amazing robots. This year we highlighted four unique designs that challenged mobility, navigation, and even optically identified a target specimen and returned it to the student team. All these robots are demonstrating the technology we will need as we travel to Mars and further explore our solar system.
