During this year’s edition of the Mars rovers competition, the teams will compete in three tasks: Science / Navigation Task, Maintenance Task and Presentation Task. The tasks will be carried out remotely, and the teams’ struggles will be broadcast live via the roverchallenge.eu website. When will you be able to see your favorite team start? Check it out in the agenda of ERC 2020 competition below. 

ERC 2020 Tasks

During ERC 2020, teams will compete in three competitions:

  • Science / Navigation Task – teams, based on Marsyard photos, first prepared the mission route on their own, taking into account potentially the most scientifically interesting places on the track, and then they will follow their path, looking for places marked with codes and carrying out simple scientific experiments in previously selected places.
  • Maintenance Task – the teams will control a robotic arm to successfully perform a series of tasks on a specially prepared panel, such as switching switches or inserting a plug into a contact.
  • Presentation Task – during the meeting with ERC judges, the teams will present their projects and talk about the obstacles they had to overcome and how they managed to overcome them.

ERC 2020 competition agenda

Agenda of the ERC 2020 competition is presented below.
Caution! The agenda has been prepared according to CET – if you plan to watch a competition broadcast in a different time zone, please take this into account! We also want to remind you that the final schedule of the competition depends on the weather and variable external factors, therefore the times of the journeys may change.
