rovers from Poland are the best in the world

the raptors team is composed of students from four faculties of the Lodz University of Technology who are keen on designing and constructing a Mars rover for the international competition of specialist mobile robots. the project consists in creating mechanical structures and control systems for a robot built of over 2,000 elements, which took part in many international robotic competitions. We are one of the most titled robotic student teams in the world, winning top places at contests such as: Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotic Challenge, European Robot League Emergency, University Rover Challenge, although it was only two years ago that we made our debut at university Rover Challenge in the United States, where we were ranked fifth in the world, and we won the first place and became the world champion at the biggest robotic event on the Old Continent – European Rover Challenge – only three months later.
