Announcing MoonBots...

A Google Lunar X PRIZE LEGO(r) MINDSTORMS(r) Challenge!



MoonBots is an exciting contest that challenges teams of students (ages 9 and up) and adults to learn about robotics, the Moon, and space exploration by designing and constructing a LEGO(r) MINDSTORMS robot that performs simulated lunar missions.



The MoonBots challenge is divided into two phases:



Phase 1 (April 15-May 28)

During Phase I, teams study the Moon's surface and an illustration of the challenge field and use the results of this study to digitally design a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot that can solve the MoonBots challenge. A team of judges select 20 teams to move on to Phase II.



Phase II (June 21-August 14)

During Phase II, teams are given a LEGO MINDSTORMS set and a MoonBots challenge field and must build their robot and solve the lunar challenge. A live, online video demonstration caps the team experience!



Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams of Phase II with the grand prize being a trip for the team to the LEGO Company headquarters in Billund, Denmark! All Phase II team members will receive a two-year subscription to Wired magazine.



To learn more or register a team, visit www.MoonBots.org<http://www.MoonBots.org>! Registration is open April 15-May 15.



With High 5's and Admiration,
