Robot Space Rescue Mission

 

Uh, oh! Houston, we’ve got a problem. Four of our astronauts are stranded on the second planet of Upsilon Andromedae, and it couldn’t get much worse. Their oxygen is low and time’s running out! Your mission is to bring them home safely, using your team’s remote controlled robot. Get ready to explore the mechanical use of gears, pulleys, axles, motors and much more as you enjoy this introductory Robotics Technology course.
