Moonbots
Posted on Wednesday, May 12 @ 14:06:02 BST
Topic: Robot Challenges and Competitions
A Google Lunar X PRIZE LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Challenge!

MoonBots is an exciting new contest that challenges teams of students (ages 9 and up) and adults from around the globe to learn about robotics, the Moon, and space exploration by designing and constructing a LEGO® MINDSTORMS robot that performs simulated lunar missions.

The MoonBots challenge is divided into two phases:

Phase 1 (April 15-May 28)
During Phase I, teams study the Moon's surface and an illustration of the challenge field and use the results of this study to digitally design a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot that can solve the MoonBots challenge. A team of judges select 20 teams to move on to Phase II.

Phase II (June 21-August 14)
During Phase II, teams are given a LEGO MINDSTORMS set and a MoonBots challenge field and must build their robot and solve the lunar challenge. A live, online video demonstration caps the team experience!

Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams of Phase II with the grand prize being a trip for the team to the LEGO Company headquarters in Billund, Denmark! All Phase II team members will receive a two-year subscription to Wired magazine.

To learn more or register a team, visit www.MoonBots.org! Registration is open April 15-May 15. There is no cost to participate.
