Engineering

What makes our rover tick

Six subsystems, designed and built in-house, working together to survive the desert and complete missions far from human reach.

Dexterous robotic arm

A multi-jointed manipulator that types on keyboards, flips switches, and services equipment with sub-centimetre precision — the same tasks astronauts perform on a real mission.

Arm7-DOF

Autonomous navigation

Fusing GPS, vision, and odometry, the rover drives itself across unmarked terrain to distant targets — no driver, no line of sight, just code and sensors.

On-board science lab

A self-contained payload collects soil, runs assays, and analyses samples for signs of life — turning the rover into a field laboratory on wheels.

All-terrain drive

A rocker-bogie suspension keeps all wheels on the ground over rocks, sand, and steep slopes, so the rover stays stable where the desert is at its worst.

DriveFour-wheel rocker-bogie

Long-range comms

A resilient radio link streams live video and telemetry back to the base station hundreds of metres away, with a mission-control HUD for the operators.

Custom power & electronics

In-house PCBs and a managed power system keep every subsystem running through a full competition run — designed, etched, and debugged by the team.
