I can’t believe I haven’t yet posted about on of the coolest moments of my life!!!!

Meet Frogger!

This is the lunar mining rover my team and I built for the annual National NASA robotics competition. It took us a whole years worth of work, but after 6 years, the Embry-Riddle Lunabotics team is back in the game!!!!

We may have had the smallest budget and the least amount of experience with competition (bc most of us are undergrads), but we got 15th place out of 43 teams AND we got interviewed by some NASA officials for our unique design!

It may not look impressive, but to me, this is one of the greatest things I’ve ever built, and going to this competition is one of my greatest achievements of all time.
