Final Fundraising Update
We are almost there! Thank you to everyone who has donated, with just 4 days left in the crowdfunding campaign we are $140 away from reaching our goal! Last week was the team's Preliminary Design Review in which multiple system designs were approved. Final design changes will be completed in the following weeks with the final design review being on December 1st. Thanks to your donations the team will be able to implement all proposed designs.
Fundraising/Project Update
Thank you to everyone who has donated to get us to nearly 50% of our goal. This week the team is preparing for our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and we are focused on finalizing proposed designs. Your donations have driven design choices that will increase the capabilities of the rover. Every donation has increased the chances of winning the Lunabotics competition at the Kennedy Space Center in May!
Fundraising Update
Thank you to all the donors who have helped us reach nearly 1/3 of our goal. Your donations will be used to increase and improve autonomous capabilities, as well as increase prototyping capabilities to test ideas before being implemented. We are currently underway redesigning and improving the subsystems of the previous rover design.
