Anatolian lands, which have hosted hundreds of civilizations, are now hosting a unique space experience. As Istanbul gathers two continents together, imagine a voyage in which you visit earth, moon and mars all together in Istanbul!
The like-like space and robotics competition Anatolian Rover Challenge, prepared as a result of long and careful efforts, is ready now and waiting for your application! Do not miss the opportunity of competing in an end-to-end space experience and be ready on the field on 22-25 July. The competition and rover convention will be in Istanbul Technical University.
In recent years, international robotics competitions between university teams have been getting popular day by day as a result of globalization.
The space rover competitions with the themes of space, robotics, technology and design have also become a preferred concept by university students in Turkey. In light of this ongoing interest, a very life-like rover challenge organization/rover convention, under the name of Anatolian Rover Challenge will be held in July at Istanbul Technical University by UKET. The competition is planned to be repeated every year with different concepts.
