Mars Rover Team

The Mars Rover Team at Johns Hopkins University is a new student organization which aims to foster an environment where students from different disciplines can collaborate and use their skills to create a functional and competitive rover. Through the four different missions of the University Rover Challenge, students will be exposed to the fields of robotics, space, and engineering outside of traditional classroom environments.

Since this is their first year, they are building a completely new rover from ground up! They are developing a base that will traverse across a Mars-like environment and identify different types of soils and rocks. With a reliable base, they will continue their efforts to build a complete rover with an arm and different sub systems to prepare the team for qualifying as one of the top 36 teams in the 2024/25 season.

They need your help to make this incredible feat happen.
