Legendary Rover

LEGENDARY is a group od 17 highly talented students of three different faculties of Rzeszow University of Technology: - The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, - The Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering - The Faculty of Chemistry. Together, we carry out a research project related to designing and building a Martian rover analogue, to take part in prestigious, international competition - University Rover Challenge. The event takes place at the research center, simulating the Mars environment (Mars Desert Research Station, Utah, USA). Apart from fulfilling the requirements of URC Organizers, we are guided by our own idea - in the future, we want our solutions to be applied in different areas of science and industry, eg. arms industry. New, ambitious students join our team every year in order to develop their interests and contribute to a cosmic project evolution. Our rover analogue is adapted to explore an unknown, difficult terrain (rocks, sand) and constitutes a basic research laboratory for soil analysis. Precise arm of the manipulator allows it to perform activities which an astronaut controls with only one hand. LEGENDARY is a two-time URC WORLD CHAMPIONS (2016, 2015). We also had the 3rd place in 2014, defeating 30 other teams from all over the world. Appreciated by many specialists and ready to conquer The Red Planet we also get the 1st place during ProDefence Champions in Ostróda 2017.
