Moonbuggy Project Objectives

Building off the sucess of last year's Moonbuggy, the team's focus for 2013 is to: create a lighter Moonbuggy.

The challenge of the Moon buggy competition is to deliver a two-person, human-powered buggy, and to achieve the fastest vehicle assembly and race times, while avoiding penalties on a gruleing course--slightly more than a half mile of rock, gravel, sand and other materials which simulate the harsh lunar surface. Top prizes are awarded to the three teams in each division that finish fastest, with the fewest penalties.
