We are the CU Rover Team - a University of Colorado Boulder student organization - competing in the University Rover Challenge. We provide a free and collaborative environment to learn about, design, and contribute to space robotics. We are open to all students. No experience is required to join!
JOIN US!The University Rover Challenge is a yearly competition held in Hanksville, Utah. The aim is to design a martian rover capable of assisting humans in a variety of tasks such as autonomously navigating harsh terrain, interacting with a lander, analyzing samples for life, and managing loads.
