Mars Rover Overview
Open to all, adults included.
This is an open competition for model solar powered “Mars Rover” cars built by parents, teachers, students and any others who are interested. The track consists of a series of plywood sections with varying surfaces including a water splash. This is essentially an “obstacle course”. The track is divided down the centre so that 2 cars can travel over the track without interference. The exact format of the competition will be determined once registrations are known and will be announced at the competition.
