GEARS, DRIVES & MOTORS THE UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW ROVER TEAM 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. British Encoder Products are proud to be one of the sponsors of this great team and wish them all the best for their upcoming challenges.
