1. NASA Robotic Mining Competition

3. Controllers Arduino Mega - controls motors and sensors Raspberry Pi - Linux based computer that has the autonomous program and WI-FI communications

4. Software Coding in either Arduino’s C/C++ based programming language Raspberry Pi runs Linux and will be using Python, but possible to use C/C++ Passing commands from Raspberry Pi to Arduino Fully autonomous with manual backup

5. Autonomy Fully autonomous for 10 minutes Beacon sensor navigation system Gyroscopic orientation sensor Move, maneuver around obstacles, collect regolith, deposit regolith (twice) Algorithms for escaping pot holes Possibility of laser detection sensors for obstacles NO GPS
