Competition Events (for example only)
1. Testing vehicle mobility and remote control system - Team must navigate their remote robot in daylight through
and over challenging physical obstacles to reach a goal. (stairs, rocks, etc)
2. Testing remote control in daylight - Team must navigate and reach a target during daylight and complete a task,
perhaps knocking down a target cylinder without touching others
3. Testing night vision system and control - Team must navigate and reach a target during night and complete a
task, perhaps knocking down a target cylinder without touching others
4. Testing GPS - With remote vision system disabled, the team must navigate as close to a remote target only using
only the Global Positioning System interface in their robot and remote control system. The closest team wins.
5. Robot Speed - The team must successfully navigate a course in the shortest time possible.
6. Robot Endurance - The team must complete as many courses as possible before their remote battery systems fail.
7. Design Considerations
C and Public SSpeaking - The teams must do a public presentation presenting their robot and
their design considerations.
8. Robot Talent Show - Each team must demonstrate one function they added to their robot that will complete a
special task. The most unique, successful and practical task that applies to remote exploration robotics wins.
9
9. Landing and Orientation - Robots will be taken to an initially unknown location
location. Teams must then initialize and
then navigate their robot to a target point to complete a task.
10. Remote Reset - Team must demonstrate in event of a system failure that they can completely reset their robots
from remote and then successfully complete a task.
This event list is preliminary, for example only. The final events
for the main competition will be provided in March.

Target to deliver robotics education to more than 10,000 youth throughout 2011
Coordonatori - Coordinators
1. Each team may have a maximum of seven members. One must be a faculty member as Coach and Advisor. All others must be students enrolled in the university.
2. Each team must complete an application in January 2011 on Earth-Rover.com to be considered. If approved the teams must sign a contract indicating their commitment to the project
rules, terms and conditions before receiving any equipment.
3. Each Coach and Advisor will ensure the project is integrated into their university curriculum and their team complies with all project rules, terms and conditions.
4. Each team will work in a university laboratory environment. All teams will be provided similar equipment that will be allocated and shipped to the university teams in February 2011.
Equipment will only be shipped directly to each team’s Coach and Advisor unless otherwise agreed.
5. g
Each team will agree to p
provide p

g reports
p to the Earth-Rover management
g team on their work throughout
g the 2011 calendar yyear.
6. Each team agrees to transport their robotic system and representatives from their team to make presentations and compete in the final Earth-Rover 2011 Competition and Awards
Ceremony in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova in July 2011.
7. Each team is also invited to demonstrate their system at a UNESCO Science Learning Academy in Romania in August 2011. In addition, the teams will be requested and required to
use their robotic systems for demonstration to students in schools in their local communities through the remainder of the year.
8. The details of the competition events and rules for the final Earth-Rover 2011 competition in Chisinau will be posted on Earth-Rover.com in February 2011.
9. The official language, for oral and written communication, is English.
