Lunar Base Camp Competition
The overall goal of the rover competition challenge is for teams to successfully set up a lunar base camp for human habitation through a series of five (5) sequential tasks.
In addition to the rover competition, teams are required to develop a plan to communicate how the skills and technologies used in the challenge could be used to help communities with limited or scarce resources. This plan will be presented orally to a panel of judges.

We request that each team bring (2) laptops to the competition. Teams must download the Lego EV3 Mindstorm software onto each laptop prior to the competition. It is advised, but not required, that teams prepare for the competition by reviewing Lego EV3 materials in advance of the competition.
