Maker Faire Pensacola 2024
UWF NASA HERC Rover
Home: Florida, United States
The NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC) is a competition where teams from across the globe design, document, and fabricate a human-powered vehicle to traverse obstacles that replicate terrain on Mars. The competition is hosted in Huntsville, AL, and allows students to get hands-on with NASA Engineers! The UWF Spring 2024 NASA Rover team designed and constructed a Rover for the 2024 competition in a single semester. This year will be different as we are designing and fabricating throughout the fall semester to give proper testing time before the NASA Rover competition in April 2025.

What Inspired You to Make This?
We were all fascinated by the idea of the NASA Rover competition. Working year-round to build a Rover and showcasing it to other teams and NASA Engineers is awesome.
