A while back the big news was the Rocket Rover Lander Challege ... I believe entries were to be closed on June 30 and Judging in July .... I haven't heard any updates? is this happening or not ? how many entries and is there a webpage with their progress like descon or something ... or didn't this make a go
The lander website is at:
working on ours. we would have been further along, but was waiting for a camera so we could get some "work in progress" video shots
Link?
top secret (heh)
we got the video, but it is still in post production. note we only got some of the work in progress, no in-flight stuff or launches yet.
although we have more than the needed parts, so we might be doing more than the current requirements.
note: some RC vehicles can have the battery get weak enough to have the throttle stick, but enough juice to keep the motor running. we found this out after some tests and had to chase down a runnaway rover unit. current;ly working on getting a separate power source for the throttle control.
(imagine three grown men chasing after an RC car)
