Our mission

We are a group of students who aim to build the best Mars Rover to compete in the University Rover Challenge (URC) annually. URC, supported by the Mars Society, is the world’s premier university robotics competition that aims to build the next generation of Mars rovers that will work alongside astronauts on the Red Planet in the future.

In addition, we plan to reach out to other local high schools to teach teenagers about Mars, robotics, and life sciences.

Six sub-teams work in parallel, from software and life detection to business, so there is a place for nearly every major.
