Robot design competitions excavator carried moon material organized by NASA, won by Canada.
Lunabotics robotic excavator is designed for digging and lifting of material months.
NASA recently held a contest to design lunabotics for students. Participants must create lunabot by remote control capable of transporting material regolith stimulant as much as possible within 15 minutes.
The competition was won by students from the University Laurentian Sudbury, Canada. Lunabotics creation they were able to defeat his opponents from 40 Engineer at the whole world, among others from the United States, Chile, Bangladesh, and India.
The eight final-year students majoring in mechanical engineering was able to create lunabot to collect 237.4 pounds moon synthetic material.
The second winner was the University North Dakota who lunabot it can collect 172.2 pounds, and third place was won by West Virginia University lunabot capable of lifting 106.4 kilograms.
The first winner of this race is entitled to the prize $ 4200 and was invited as a VIP guest to attend the launch of space shuttle Atlantis in July.
