One of the most impressive robotic arm I've seen from a student team!

[@DuffyDuck117]

So exciting! Can't wait to see it perform in comp!

[@dylanpendlebury23]

Very impressive! Wheel heading actuators would be ideal but I really liked that the wheels were at least designed to remedy some of the difficulties that come with skid-steer turning. Really great work for a student lead project!

[@googleyoutubechannel8554]

Super impressive, being an ignorant American, even though I've been to Melbourne, I hadn't heard of 'Monash University', but seeing this rover out class Stanford, BYU etc, now I will definitely remember the name, well done Aussies.

epic

[@bhagyeshpatil2909]

can you provide the calculation for wheel width?

[@Mak007-h5s]

So cool one day i will also join this team Insha Allah

Your rover looks amazing! I wish you all the best for the URC. If you want to go for another challenge after URC, check out the Anatolian Rover Challenge! Mars and Moon missions with a unique story! Anatolian Rover Challenge (ARC) is in July 21st-25th. The ARC is compatible with the URC and ERC rovers. Besides the ARC covers accommodations of your team in Istanbul, Turkey! The due date for ARC applications is May 20th. As the ARC organization team, we look forward to your application to ARC. Hope to meet with you where the two continents meet! 🥰

[@chinmaydalal9309]

Cool by using those gearboxes you eliminated the need for torque control of that arm and implemented just the position control and implemented inverse kinematics

[@gopal7675]

Wonderful job and beautifully done. Is this battery-powered or using solar.

Which sensing components are used in rover

[@stanalexandru7870]

Fantastic job! What did you use to make the web interface?

[@chefseg]

Bump!

[@VigneshPrabhu-mu9ef]

What material did you guys use for 3d printed wheels

[@MonashNovaRover]

These wheels are TPU!
