We are the best team from Europe at the University Rover Challenge ๐
We took fifth place in the world in the prestigious University Rover Challenge 2025 competition, which took place in the American state of Utah! ๐
๐ฐ๏ธ In the overall classification, we scored 351.25 points, achieving excellent results, especially in the scientific mission (95 points) and equipment servicing (71 points). The missions took place at MDRS – Mars Desert Research Station, where high temperatures prevailed and a truly Martian landscape stretched out.
Importantly, we were the highest-ranked team from outside North America, second only to four teams:
๐ฅ Missouri University of Science and Technology (412.27 points)
๐ฅ West Virginia University (396.17 points)
๐ฅ Northeastern University (362.42 points)
๐
Brigham Young University (356.76 points)
We have had months of intense preparation, hundreds of hours of work and an exciting final in the desert at the Mars Desert Research Station. This experience will remain in our memory for a long time, both as a challenge and a source of great satisfaction.
It is worth noting that other teams also bravely represented Poland in the competition:
๐น Student Astronautical Club from the Warsaw University of Technology โ 12th place (290.15 points)
๐น KNR Robotics Science Club from the same university โ 27th place (208.78 points)
We would like to congratulate all the teams and thank them for their support in developing the engineers of the future.
