Team 120 - Prototype MoonBot Rover

We did a working mock up of our rover design.  Key features include the drive train powering the front wheels to increase the ground clearance for getting over the crater walls, a front mounted distance sensor, room for the Flip video camera in front of the Brick and of course the most advanced feature of all - the motorized fork lift type attachment in the front for grabbing elements from the moon surface.
