" SALT LAKE CITY A team of over 30 students from the University of Utah took home the prestigious grand prize from the NASA Lunobotics competition thanks to their robot. Their design won multiple awards and cemented many of the students' love of STEM, space and collaboration."

"The team was comprised of students from the Utah Students Robotics club. To compete, the team had to apply for the competition. Out of 70 universities, the team was selected to be one of the 30 official competitors based on their project management plan. The competition was held at the University of Central Florida May 15-17."

" You are building a robot to compete in a simulated lunar environment," explained Jeffrey Hansen, a University of Utah chemical and computer engineering student. "The goal is to navigate through an obstacle zone and then do digging and dumping to build a berm."

" The team ecstatically welcomed the invitation to present their robot at the finals. After an excellent demonstration, the team was awarded the Artemis Award, or grand prize."

Wow, this is great! I'm a bit embarrassed that I was unaware of such competition, but the great thing about THE TWELVE is all the worlds the conference opens up.

Stay tuned...

Actually I was making the observation that both simians and humans are passengers aboard spacecraft.
But engineers design the stuff that works. A Big 12 education helps.

You're not seeing the big picture.

Outer space exploration will lead to outer space colonization.

And who is on the cutting edge of outer space pizza delivery technology?
