Imagine attending class after a whole month of bunking it just to find out you gonna go on a whole new trip once again !!!! ? Well thats what am doing now thanks to LUNABOTICS !!
Now Lunabotics is not exactly Lunatic Robotics, its kinda more like Lunar Robotics, something that i guess NASA seriously needs some help with ;p since they have been off late approaching too many outsiders for ideas :D
OH WELL ! am in it ! :D SO I DONT CARE !!
The Lunabotics Mining Competition is a university-level competition designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). NASA will directly benefit from the competition by encouraging the development of innovative lunar excavation concepts from universities which may result in clever ideas and solutions which could be applied to an actual lunar excavation device or payload. The challenge is for students to design and build a remote controlled or autonomous excavator, called a lunabot, that can collect and deposit a minimum of 10 kilograms of lunar simulant within 15 minutes. The complexities of the challenge include the abrasive characteristics of the lunar simulant, the weight and size limitations of the lunabot, and the ability to control the lunabot from a remote control center.

thats what NASA says . :)
