Czyżby konkurencja wobec University Rover Challenge i European Rover Challenge? ;) Tutaj w odróżnieniu od URC i ERC stoją konkretne pieniądze:
Five teams are taking home prize money after completing Level 1 of NASA's Sample Return Robot Challenge, part of the agency's Centennial Challenges prize program. Worcester Polytechnic Institute hosted the event for the fifth year June 7-11 at its Worcester, Massachusetts, campus.
Eighteen teams of citizen inventors, from universities to families to small businesses, competed in the challenge, which has a total prize purse of $1.5 million. Each winning team was awarded $5,000 for their success, and they have earned a shot at Level 2 of the competition, which will take place Sept. 2-5.
The winning Level 1 teams are:
+ Team Al of Toronto, Canada
+ Alabama Astrorobotics of Tuscaloosa, Alabama
+ MAXed Out of Santa Clara, California
+ Mind and Iron of Seattle, Washington
+ Sirius of South Hadley, Massachusetts

Zgaduję, że powyższa zabawa przeznaczona jest tylko dla swoich, czyli drużyn z USA...
