There are 29days left till our little road trip to the competition in Utah! there is still a bit left to do. Completing the build of the rover; parts of the suspension, arm, soil sampler, tire treads. Two documents are needed to be turned in by May 13, 2016. A video that presents the rovers design and functionality and the teams organizations. Also a report stating the team’s knowledge about mars and how we have used that knowledge in our designs.
