ARC24
A great result in the Lunar Robotic Prospector mission and second place in the Science category translated into 4th place in the overall Anatolian Rover Challenge 2024! We narrowly missed out on the podium, an unexpected electronics failure during the night mission additionally could have deprived us of further participation, but thanks to the team’s hard work and determination we were able to continue the competition the next day. The experience we gained during the last week has enriched us with skills, valuable lessons and a deeper understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. We return much richer in knowledge, ready for the next challenges, following Nelson Mandela’s principle: ‘I never lose. I either win or learn.’
We are not returning to Poland empty-handed we won the ‘Challenge to Shine’ competition for the best manipulator. Also our operator during the mission showed dexterity and craftsmanship in operating the rover for which we received a special mention in the operator category.
