Possible operations outlined in the rules for 2019 include: 2017 required rovers to tow a wagon carrying a fuel canister to a generator, fill up the fuel tank, swap the regulator on gas cylinders, and start the generator by pressing a button. Analysis is expected to be relevant to the setting on Earth while demonstrating an understanding of how these observations would translate to a Martian setting. Each team has a $US18,000 spending limit. In addition, teleoperated scouting is allowed in the earlier stages, but not in the later ones. Now, the MRover team has access to the Mars Yard, which was included as part of the new Robotics building. When will registration close? Additional details regarding the Protocase manufacturing process and important design guidelines will be available to teams in the coming weeks. Notably the team from Brigham Young University is the only team to have participated in every competition from 2006 to 2018, consistently placing in the top 5. All majors and experience levels are welcome to join. Held annually in the desert of southern Utah in the United States, URC challenges student teams to design and build the next generation of Mars rovers that will one day work alongside astronauts exploring the Red Planet.
