NASA Regolith Challenge

We’ve taken second place in the 2008 NASA Centennial Challenge! Our team of 8 engineers were tasked with the sizeable goal of autonomously excavating at least 150kg of moon regolith simulant in 30 minutes on less than 150 watts of power. While nobody met the stated goal, we still managed to take a judges-decision second place.
