UR Lunabotics Team

Project Leaders: Fran Daszak and Benned Hedegaard                   (fdaszak@u.rochester.edu, bhedegaa@u.rochester.edu)

UR Lunabotics is a brand-new competitive team with the goal of competing and succeeding in the NASA Lunabotics competition. Lunabotics is an international, university-based competition being run and sponsored by NASA. Teams typically develop one large robot (0.6 m x 0.6 m x 1.1 m). This robot will compete by performing various autonomous and controlled tasks to gather points on a simulated lunar surface. Our goal is to compete in 2021-22 Competition Season using a fully autonomous robot. Lunabotics is open to all members regardless of skill level. Please email any captain for details about Lunabotics and information about the project's weekly meetings over Discord (https://discord.gg/SrVBXUm).
