Team RoverX from Creation labs of VIT Vellore has achieved a new milestone this year by scoring 90.36 in its System Acceptance Review (SAR). Out of the 93 participants from 8 different countries, RoverX was ranked among the Top 10 teams in the World.

The University Rover Challenge (URC) is the world’s premier robotics competition for college students. Held annually in the desert of southern Utah in the United States, URC challenges student teams to design and build the next generation of Mars rovers that will one day work alongside astronauts exploring the Red Planet. URC was launched in 2006, with competitions being held every summer since 2007. URC consistently draws an international field of the most talented and promising students around.

Due to the Corona pandemic, the finals were cancelled, and hence the decision was made based on the SAR submission.
