The yearly URC competition pits student teams against each other to design and construct the upcoming Mars rovers that will one day assist humans in exploring the Red Planet. The competition takes place in the American desert of southern Utah. A competition is held every summer as part of the URC, which was established in 2006
ERC serves as a gathering place for individuals from the European scientific and commercial communities who are interested in the application of robotic and space technologies
It presents a challenge for college students to envision, build, create, and operate a next-generation astronaut-assistive Mars Rover and carry out particular missions under simulated Martian circumstances. The competition's goal is to give students a hands-on, multidisciplinary engineering experience that combines hard skills like business planning and project management with technical engineering knowledge
