Background
  • 12th Annual Moonbuggy Competition
  • Huntsville, Alabama NASA Space Center
  • 7th year IUPUI has competed
  • Timed event
  • Assembly time
  • Track time
  • Penalties
  • Fastest time wins

3
Objective
  • The Great Moonbuggy Race requires students to
    design a vehicle that addresses a series of
    engineering problems that are similar to problems
    faced by the original moonbuggy team.
  • The main objectives of the competition are to
    design, build, and race a human-powered vehicle
    able to conquer typical obstacles that a moon
    rover might encounter.
