Our team for the MoonBots challenge was named NXT Generation.  Some of the members have participated on other robotics teams in the past.  In this challenge, teams designed, built, and programmed a robot to navigate a 7.5 foot square moonscape.  Also, teams created a video presentation about why moon travel is important.  For more information about our team, visit our website.
