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.

We have a name!
Make way for the LARGE JUMPING COOL INTELLIGENT ROCKETS! The kids rejected any of my suggestions and decided to make up a name based on the first letters of their names. Somehow the captain's name wasn't included. Who is running this ship anyway?
