Colonization and Mining on the Moon
In prepara魛啛on, BEST Robo魛啛cs has been recruited by the world鈥檚 space agencies to develop robots that can be deployed now. You have been selected as one of the teams that will send robots back to the moon to perform exploratory tasks and prepare for future habita魛啛on by humans. The prepara魛啛on will be long, arduous work and your robot must withstand the unique harsh low gravity environment. Your team will construct a robot worthy of accomplishing specific lunar tasks and face off in an evalua魛啛on to determine which robots are BEST.
