The University of Warsaw's Rover Team of which British Encoder Products is one of their proud sponsors recently posted their results from the University Rover Challenge.
They said :-
"A week ago, the University Rover Challenge ended. The PCz Rover Team won, Missouri S&T Mars Rover Design Team finished 2nd and the Mars Rover Kielce "impuls" team was third. We've managed to take the 8th position, so we're getting better! (last year - 16th)
In the task where we had to service a lander's control panel we scored the best of all teams. In the astronaut assistance task, despite heavy technical problems, only 4 competitors got a better result than us. Unfortunately our road to podium was blocked by weaker scores in the two other tasks.
We don't stop in our activities and continue preparations for the next competitions - the Canadian International Rover Challenge in August and the European Rover Challenge in September.
A huge thank you goes to our sponsors, without which this result would not be possible:
