Robotics Education Poster - #1 Marsbound! Mission to the Red Planet
In this activity, students will be given a set of "equipment cards" representing different systems that might be used on a robotic mission to Mars. Each system has mass and power requirements, as well as a budget cost. Students must ensure that their design has enough on-board power to drive all of its systems, a low enough mass so that it can be launched with existing rocket boosters, and a low enough cost so that it fits within their budget. Note: This is a 61 page PDF.
