brought this challenge in person since

22
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,739
before the pandemic and there is a new

00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,959
challenge course yes we're on a new

24
00:02:59,210 --> 00:02:57,360
course this year rookies and veterans

are on a completely new course at the

26
00:03:03,410 --> 00:03:00,959
aviation challenge here at the U.S Space

27
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:03,420
and Rocket Center we're excited the

28
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:05,040
teams are excited you can hear the fans

29
00:03:08,509 --> 00:03:06,300
kind of in the background a little bit

30
00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:08,519
and we actually have the first Rover

31
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:10,980
here ready to go so we're gonna pass it

32
00:03:22,729 --> 00:03:12,720
on to our colleague Beth to talk a

33
00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:25,970
good morning everyone good morning Kevin

34
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:28,140
Alyssa it is a great day to have a great

35
00:03:32,509 --> 00:03:30,840
race I am here with the first team on

36
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:32,519
the starting lineup can you tell me your

37
00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:34,140
name and what school you're from my name

38
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,120
is Kyler Gilman I'm from Academy of Arts

39
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,400
careers technology from Reno Nevada

40
00:03:42,649 --> 00:03:40,560
fantastic and you guys had a wonderful

41
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:42,659
run yesterday you kicked it off you did

42
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:44,700
really well is there anything changed

43
00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:46,980
overnight about your run we changed our

44
00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:48,900
gear ratio this is our front end was a

45
00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:50,280
little too high so we changed it for our

46
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:51,720
lower gear ratio so we can have more

47
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:53,580
torque on the obstacles especially the

48
00:03:57,949 --> 00:03:56,700
first task and the rocks in the end and

49
00:03:59,690 --> 00:03:57,959
are there any tasks that you're trying

50
00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:59,700
to tackle today that you may not have

51
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:01,019
tackled

52
00:04:05,149 --> 00:04:03,420
uh actually yeah we're trying to do the

53
00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:05,159
eight foot and the u-shape because we

54
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,940
feel like we're a little bit more

55
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:08,159
prepared and we know what to expect we

56
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:09,720
also are a little bit more prepared to

57
00:04:14,089 --> 00:04:11,580
do the cave to actually get a better run

58
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:14,099
at that fantastic and I wish you guys

59
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:15,900
the best it's going to be a great day

60
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:17,880
have a great race and we'll get you guys

61
00:04:30,650 --> 00:04:24,650
all right we actually have a team from

62
00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:32,689
yes so we have you here can you tell me

63
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:34,139
your name and what's your role on the

64
00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:36,360
team so I'm Max listening I'm the team

65
00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:38,100
safety officer

66
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:40,500
uh and I'm Marcus Matthews I'm the team

67
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:42,840
lead for the Rover

68
00:04:46,189 --> 00:04:44,520
great and can you tell us a little bit

69
00:04:48,409 --> 00:04:46,199
more of being a high school team what's

70
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:48,419
a challenge with that so definitely a

71
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:49,860
challenge with being a high school team

72
00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:52,800
is our limited time we only have the

73
00:04:57,950 --> 00:04:55,380
normal time of the school day to work on

74
00:05:00,290 --> 00:04:57,960
the Rover at any time other than that is

75
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:00,300
completely extracurricular and we all do

76
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:02,520
on our own time as well as our advisors

77
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,160
they're they're volunteers and we super

78
00:05:08,570 --> 00:05:06,960
appreciate them coming out and using

79
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:08,580
their weekend days and

80
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:11,100
full time to help us with the Rover

81
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:14,220
so this is day two of the challenge so

82
00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:16,740
talk to us a little bit about uh what

83
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:17,880
you want to do differently from

84
00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:20,580
yesterday uh so yesterday one of the

85
00:05:24,529 --> 00:05:22,919
main mechanical changes that we made uh

86
00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:24,539
we had to get our front athlete a little

87
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:26,280
bit lower because he was struggling with

88
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:28,020
torque uh through some of the obstacles

89
00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:34,010
do some site modifications to our

90
00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:35,699
collection tool because on about five

91
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,620
different occasions it got caught in our

92
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:39,600
Rover which lost us a lot of time on the

93
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:40,979
Excursion

94
00:05:45,770 --> 00:05:43,680
good stuff I see I see well tell us a

95
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:45,780
little bit about what motivated you all

96
00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:48,479
to want to be a part of this challenge

97
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:51,419
um our school has done uh the herc back

98
00:05:54,830 --> 00:05:52,560
when it was still the moon buggy

99
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:54,840
competition

100
00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:56,699
it's sort of a staple of our engineering

101
00:06:00,890 --> 00:05:58,740
program at our high school when you go

102
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:00,900
into engineering you know of Rover and

103
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,539
so it's definitely definitely a very

104
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,039
intriguing for all the kids there and so

105
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:06,960
we all love to be a part of the team

106
00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:09,600
awesome awesome and I believe that you

107
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:11,820
guys are unofficially on the uh first

108
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:13,620
spot for the High School Division can

109
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:15,060
you tell us like what's your mindset

110
00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:16,620
with that are you guys excited or just

111
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:18,780
trying to stick to it we're very excited

112
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:21,840
to be uh in that top position however we

113
00:06:32,689 --> 00:06:30,830
not feel that anyone has a chance of

114
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:32,699
winning this competition here today we

115
00:06:37,790 --> 00:06:35,520
are not gonna stay on top for certain

116
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:37,800
well speaking of that is it any

117
00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:41,160
particular team that has Maybe I

118
00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:44,220
impressed you or inspired you or

119
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:46,199
um I do definitely think we have our eye

120
00:06:50,930 --> 00:06:49,080
on a couple teams uh Parish Rover being

121
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:50,940
one of them in previous years we've

122
00:06:54,590 --> 00:06:52,380
always had some good competition with

123
00:06:56,809 --> 00:06:54,600
them uh and they put in a real a really

124
00:06:59,150 --> 00:06:56,819
solid concern

125
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:59,160
we're definitely keep an eye on them uh

126
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:00,720
and we're gonna see what they do in this

127
00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:03,120
competition it's still anyone's game

128
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:04,860
and I have to ask can you tell me a

129
00:07:08,930 --> 00:07:06,000
little bit more about the shirts you

130
00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:08,940
have oh yeah so these shirts uh as Mark

131
00:07:12,409 --> 00:07:10,680
did mention yesterday they are an old

132
00:07:14,330 --> 00:07:12,419
design that we had a previous student

133
00:07:16,010 --> 00:07:14,340
who competed in this competition did

134
00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:16,020
create and we really wanted to bring

135
00:07:20,930 --> 00:07:18,419
that design back we love that design and

136
00:07:23,150 --> 00:07:20,940
we have these here these wrenches as our

137
00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:23,160
bones and that is for our motto that

138
00:07:28,249 --> 00:07:25,620
engineering is in our bones

139
00:07:29,689 --> 00:07:28,259
I love that that's so Innovative so tell

140
00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:29,699
me is there anything that you guys have

141
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:31,380
changed between day one and day two

142
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:33,300
going into this competition so we have

143
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:35,039
talked about the drivetrain however

144
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:36,840
about the collections tool that is a

145
00:07:40,730 --> 00:07:38,400
very big difference from Excursion day

146
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:40,740
one to day two uh in the our first

147
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:42,840
Excursion we had a few issues with cable

148
00:07:47,089 --> 00:07:45,120
management and we had to change some

149
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,099
things for example we had to tie it up

150
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:48,960
real nice because our cables that get

151
00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:50,699
caught on the wheel in between second

152
00:07:58,189 --> 00:07:56,270
designed for the second task but when

153
00:07:59,629 --> 00:07:58,199
looking at the footage it looked like we

154
00:08:01,309 --> 00:07:59,639
didn't actually need it and the fulcrum

155
00:08:03,290 --> 00:08:01,319
seemed to be more in the way than

156
00:08:04,670 --> 00:08:03,300
actually helping us so we cut it off and

157
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:04,680
we made that Improvement and that's

158
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:06,000
going to give our athletes a lot more

159
00:08:07,969 --> 00:08:06,900
wiggle room with room with the

160
00:08:09,710 --> 00:08:07,979
collections

161
00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:09,720
very cool yeah and for anyone watching

162
00:08:14,089 --> 00:08:11,580
these students do have to go through 10

163
00:08:16,249 --> 00:08:14,099
obstacles and five tasks and those tasks

164
00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:16,259
include a liquid collection sample

165
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:17,940
retrieval so can you tell me a little

166
00:08:21,050 --> 00:08:19,500
bit more about how that went for you

167
00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:21,060
yesterday those liquid collection

168
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:23,460
samples so we are very happy with the

169
00:08:27,710 --> 00:08:24,840
liquid collection samples that we got

170
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:27,720
yesterday we did successfully sample the

171
00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:30,120
task 2 The Underground liquid sample

172
00:08:34,850 --> 00:08:32,520
which is lifting a 15 pound lid however

173
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,860
today we're planning to do a lot more

174
00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:37,440
tasks tasks are weighted very heavily so

175
00:08:41,329 --> 00:08:39,839
we're going for as far as four tasks

176
00:08:42,769 --> 00:08:41,339
today

177
00:08:45,710 --> 00:08:42,779
great

178
00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:45,720
well is there anybody that uh you want

179
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:48,420
to say thank you to I know it's a lot of

180
00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:50,100
work behind behind putting all this

181
00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:51,660
together you probably have some support

182
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:53,160
you want to talk a little bit about that

183
00:08:56,810 --> 00:08:55,140
I do definitely want to say thank you to

184
00:08:59,389 --> 00:08:56,820
some of our Community Partners back home

185
00:09:01,790 --> 00:08:59,399
all the staff of aact for supporting the

personally I have a very big stake in

208
00:09:52,490 --> 00:09:50,220
the collection so I'm more interested in

209
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:52,500
those and I feel like especially this

210
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,200
competition it's a very big deal they're

211
00:09:59,870 --> 00:09:57,600
weighted uh heavily so I want to see

212
00:10:01,790 --> 00:09:59,880
those personally and

213
00:10:03,889 --> 00:10:01,800
um I want to see

214
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:03,899

00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:07,680
many yesterday and I'm I'm curious to

00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:10,080
see how we all do

218
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,120
and just a reminder we are here at the

219
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:14,160
U.S Space and Rocket Center so I have to

220
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:16,860
ask have you guys toured the center uh

221
00:10:19,850 --> 00:10:18,060
how do you like Huntsville do you like

222
00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:19,860
being in Huntsville oh so far I love

223
00:10:25,310 --> 00:10:22,080
Huntsville we come from Reno Nevada and

224
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:25,320
this place even upon Landing was so much

225
00:10:30,769 --> 00:10:28,440
Greener so beautiful so full of life

226
00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:30,779
um and Reno does have his charm but this

227
00:10:35,090 --> 00:10:32,580
is such a different place for us and we

228
00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:38,030
well let me just ask you this

229
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,380
um this is a big competition or a big

230
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:42,240

234
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:50,640
speak for the whole team when I say

235
00:10:53,810 --> 00:10:52,140
we're all nervous

236
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:53,820

237
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:56,700
yesterday and so coming in today's run

238
00:11:00,290 --> 00:10:58,560
we're confident that we're gonna walk

239
00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:00,300
out with the result that we like whether

240
00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:01,980

241
00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:03,720

242
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,640
what we did we spent a lot of

243
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:07,200
project and we were proud of the result

244
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:09,120
yesterday and so we're gonna go home

245
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:10,380
proud

246
00:11:15,650 --> 00:11:13,140
and do you have any advice for uh

247
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:15,660
perhaps schools who might want to

248
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:17,820
participate in the future any any words

249
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:21,120
of wisdom no idea is a bad idea if you

250
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,160
have an idea throw it out there have

251
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:25,200
some other people look at it and you'll

252
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:26,880

want to go into a stem field in the

256
00:11:38,269 --> 00:11:35,820
future yeah so as a stem student myself

257
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:38,279
we have a lot of fun in our classes and

258
00:11:41,389 --> 00:11:40,200
I would recommend that no matter what

259
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:41,399
you're doing no matter how difficult it

260
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,440
is try to have fun with it be creative

261
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:46,079

262
00:11:48,949 --> 00:11:47,940
I love that that's some great advice

263
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,959
there

264
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,399
um one more thing about the stem

265
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:52,320
engagement and things is actually that's

266
00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:54,480
a requirement for this Rover challenges

267
00:11:57,769 --> 00:11:56,820
to engage students in the stem field so

268
00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:57,779
can you tell me a little bit more about

269
00:12:01,190 --> 00:11:59,760
how your team has done that yeah

270
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:01,200
yeah we've been visiting our local

271
00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:03,120
middle schools and reconnecting with

272
00:12:07,069 --> 00:12:04,920
some of our own old teachers and some

273
00:12:09,410 --> 00:12:07,079
teachers that have reached out to us and

274
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,420
we have been going over there doing a

275
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:12,000
presentation and we have been showing

276
00:12:16,009 --> 00:12:14,040
off our Rover the parts of our

277
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,019
furthermore to get them a little

278
00:12:21,050 --> 00:12:18,240
in stem field and not just the Rover

279
00:12:23,329 --> 00:12:21,060
we've been having some science lessons

280
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:23,339
with a little little science labs with

281
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:24,720
popsicle sticks and the students

282
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,360
absolutely loved it we made

283
00:12:31,730 --> 00:12:30,000
it and they had such a blast with that

284
00:12:33,290 --> 00:12:31,740
great and we're still getting ready um

285
00:12:35,449 --> 00:12:33,300
for the race today so I just want to

286
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:35,459
remind everyone who's watching that this

287
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:37,740
is not just a race do you do collect

288
00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:39,540
points through these obstacles through

289
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:40,740
the tasks that you're going through

290
00:12:47,870 --> 00:12:43,139
today so tell us a little bit more about

291
00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:50,870
with so I have to say our athletes are

292
00:12:53,930 --> 00:12:52,560
amazing with their intuition and

293
00:12:56,030 --> 00:12:53,940
yesterday uh

294
00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:56,040
calls that

295
00:13:00,769 --> 00:12:58,260
that we all agree with these calls all

296
00:13:02,569 --> 00:13:00,779
right our front athlete especially uh

297
00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:02,579
adults from obstacles that we now

298
00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:04,139
sitting here don't think we could have

299
00:13:08,990 --> 00:13:06,779
completed and I'm very happy with how we

300
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:09,000
did and as far as obstacles go I believe

301
00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:10,560
we're doing something very similar to

302
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:12,360
the Excursion one and the biggest

303
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:14,160
differences with the tasks

304
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:16,200

we'll try to broadcast as

318
00:13:47,569 --> 00:13:45,420
people uh NASA social media is a great

319
00:13:49,009 --> 00:13:47,579
place not only to get updates about the

320
00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:49,019
event today but just to engage with

321
00:13:53,389 --> 00:13:51,420
others around the world we are streaming

322
00:13:55,009 --> 00:13:53,399
on YouTube and Facebook so if you have

323
00:13:57,769 --> 00:13:55,019
any questions you can also drop those in

00:13:59,629 --> 00:13:57,779
the comments below and we also can you

325
00:14:01,009 --> 00:13:59,639
tell us more about uh the teams that we

326
00:14:02,569 --> 00:14:01,019
have today Lance can you tell us a

327
00:14:06,350 --> 00:14:02,579
little bit more about what's that like

328
00:14:09,170 --> 00:14:06,360
oh I believe we have 48 teams uh from

329
00:14:11,389 --> 00:14:09,180
across the country I believe uh 16 of

330
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:11,399
them are from the United States and I

331
00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:13,980
think we have uh eight uh countries

332
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:16,260
represented yeah so

333
00:14:20,329 --> 00:14:18,959
um District of Columbia Puerto Rico is

334
00:14:24,050 --> 00:14:20,339
here I mean students from across the

335
00:14:26,329 --> 00:14:24,060
world really yes yes very exciting 29th

336
00:14:28,009 --> 00:14:26,339
year that we've mentioned before

337
00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:28,019
super excited like we also mentioned

338
00:14:32,810 --> 00:14:30,899
before we have eight rookie teams and

339
00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,820
but being a rookie is not necessarily a

340
00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,560
bad thing this year because this is a

341
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:36,959
new course so there's no Advantage for

342
00:14:40,910 --> 00:14:38,700
veteran teams this year

343
00:14:42,290 --> 00:14:40,920
these obstacles these tasks are a little

344
00:14:45,230 --> 00:14:42,300
different than we've seen in past years

345
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,240
so and it's just good to be back because

346
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,279
because you know the pandemic put you

347
00:14:51,170 --> 00:14:49,440
know a hold on this competition or this

348
00:14:53,389 --> 00:14:51,180
challenging person and I think

349
00:14:56,569 --> 00:14:53,399
everybody's just excited that we're here

350
00:14:58,910 --> 00:14:56,579
live and in person great I believe we do

351
00:15:01,670 --> 00:14:58,920
have another interview coming up so

352
00:15:06,410 --> 00:15:04,370
bring into a love to see that

353
00:15:08,290 --> 00:15:06,420
great can you tell me your name and what

354
00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:08,300
school you're from sure

355
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,980
and I go to Von College of everyone

356
00:15:14,689 --> 00:15:13,199
addicts and technology in New York very

357
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:14,699
cool and can you tell

358
00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:16,320
this is

359
00:15:24,769 --> 00:15:22,680
the wheel without a Rover

360
00:15:27,170 --> 00:15:24,779
um so fun thing we got three months to

361
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,180
design and build the Rover because we

362
00:15:31,550 --> 00:15:30,000
are a very uh new club at our college

363
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:31,560
and we have to go through all the

364
00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:33,660
paperwork to establish the cloud before

365
00:15:38,329 --> 00:15:36,240
even competing so that's how it works in

366
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:38,339
our college so we got it in December the

367
00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:40,440
the green light and we got three months

368
00:15:44,269 --> 00:15:42,360
to you know come up with that design uh

369
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:44,279
build it and so this is what we did for

370
00:15:50,689 --> 00:15:47,100
the wheel our solution so we got you

371
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,699
know the Hop we got like metal spokes uh

372
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:52,320
on the inside and then we have this

373
00:15:58,189 --> 00:15:54,839
robber and aluminum sheets

374
00:16:00,829 --> 00:15:58,199
um that like kind of press and uh we did

375
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:00,839
the the shape of a wheel and then we

376
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:02,760
realized it could be probably a little

377
00:16:08,329 --> 00:16:06,240
weak so we added wood on the sides so

378
00:16:10,189 --> 00:16:08,339
that was our end or in process it works

379
00:16:12,650 --> 00:16:10,199
really good it's like oh it might not

380
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,660
but like it does it's like probably the

381
00:16:16,910 --> 00:16:14,880
the specific like the the hardest thing

382
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,920
on the Rover like the most durable thing

383
00:16:21,710 --> 00:16:18,959
great great and did you guys compete

384
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:21,720
yesterday so we couldn't do it we went

385
00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:24,720
through the ER and mrr

386
00:16:29,870 --> 00:16:28,079
um the safety processes and all that but

387
00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:29,880
um we had some issues with the steering

388
00:16:34,370 --> 00:16:32,459
system so even before getting to the

389
00:16:36,650 --> 00:16:34,380
course uh we decided that you know it's

390
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:36,660
not very safe and we want to make sure

391
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:38,880
our Pilots are safe so we were working

392
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:41,160
yesterday and we are working right now

393
00:16:44,569 --> 00:16:42,180
on

394
00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:44,579
um fixing those issues and tried to do

395
00:16:47,090 --> 00:16:45,420
it today

396
00:16:48,889 --> 00:16:47,100
are you excited to see how this wheel is

397
00:16:50,269 --> 00:16:48,899
going to perform today yes so very

398
00:16:52,430 --> 00:16:50,279
excited very excited to see how

399
00:16:55,009 --> 00:16:52,440
everything actually works

400
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:55,019
um we want to see the interaction of all

401
00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:57,120
our systems we because we had a very

402
00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:00,079
particular and interesting

403
00:17:05,210 --> 00:17:03,360
interesting um process so we did all the

404
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:05,220
subsystems benefit

405
00:17:09,710 --> 00:17:07,199
um different moments along the way and

406
00:17:12,650 --> 00:17:09,720
different people took part of those

407
00:17:13,730 --> 00:17:12,660
subsystems like as the leads so want to

408
00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:13,740
see the direction of

409
00:17:17,630 --> 00:17:15,600
action during the conversation

410
00:17:20,510 --> 00:17:17,640
and in case you didn't hear that our

411
00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:20,520
first Rover is on the track so let's

412
00:18:57,950 --> 00:17:22,020
take a look at what they're doing today

413
00:18:57,960 --> 00:20:02,390
oh wow

414
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,549
all right it looks like this uh first

415
00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:07,200
Rover is on the course just from finder

416
00:20:10,970 --> 00:20:08,940
we are at the U.S

417
00:20:12,890 --> 00:20:10,980
sphincter and Huntsville

418
00:20:14,450 --> 00:20:12,900
we're very close to NASA's Marshall

419
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:14,460
space flight center which is where we

420
00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:17,640
are from NASA Marshall it works on a ton

421
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,740
of programs in this Artemis uh

422
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:21,840
generation we work on the space launch

423
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:25,260
system the human Lander system so a lot

424
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:27,720
to log on at Marshall and Huntsville I

425
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:29,520
want to remind everybody we have 48

426
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:32,340
teams competing over 500 students are

427
00:20:37,610 --> 00:20:34,620
competing today you know they have to go

428
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:37,620
through 10 obstacles 5

429
00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:41,160
not a race they get points as they go

430
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:42,780
through these obstacles and complete

431
00:20:46,909 --> 00:20:45,360
these tasks and they can bypass those so

432
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:46,919
if they choose to bypass them they would

433
00:20:50,570 --> 00:20:48,660
get no points whereas if they attempt

434
00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:50,580
them they could get a range of points

435
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,799
throughout so when you see these

436
00:20:56,450 --> 00:20:54,480
leaderboards just keep in mind that it's

437
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:56,460
not completely about the time that they

438
00:21:01,070 --> 00:20:57,600
have can you tell us a little bit more

439
00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:03,350
oh yes it's about eight minutes I

440
00:21:07,330 --> 00:21:05,460
believe that they have to complete that

441
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:07,340
course

442
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,840
and it looks like we actually do have a

443
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:11,280
team ready at the start line so we're

444
00:21:16,010 --> 00:21:12,720
gonna send it to our colleague Beth to

445
00:21:20,810 --> 00:21:18,710
hey there I just wanted to let you guys

446
00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:20,820
know we are here with Blue Ridge High

447
00:21:24,169 --> 00:21:22,799
School I am very excited to be here with

448
00:21:27,650 --> 00:21:24,179
my friends can you say your name I'm

449
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:27,660
Jack I'm Annelise Jack and Annelise no

450
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:29,280
yesterday was a baseline for the course

451
00:21:33,409 --> 00:21:30,900
we learned a few lessons what have you

452
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:33,419
guys put into place overnight

453
00:21:38,690 --> 00:21:35,640
um so what we did is we adjust the bands

454
00:21:39,890 --> 00:21:38,700
because our uh pedals kept slipping

455
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:39,900
because there's still time to try to

456
00:21:50,450 --> 00:21:47,390
and I love this paint job here I see a

457
00:21:52,850 --> 00:21:50,460
big r is there a reason for that

458
00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:56,230
this is

459
00:21:59,810 --> 00:21:58,490
I love it you guys are going to show out

460
00:22:00,770 --> 00:21:59,820
for Blue Ridge today and is there

461
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:00,780
anything that you'd like to talk about

462
00:22:05,149 --> 00:22:02,400
your wheels

463
00:22:07,850 --> 00:22:05,159
uh yeah so our wheels are actually built

464
00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:07,860
out of the plastic is your culvert pipe

465
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:10,020
and then in the center we actually cut a

466
00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:12,480
fire extinguisher and that's

467
00:22:15,649 --> 00:22:14,280
it oh that's fantastic well I wish you

468
00:22:17,149 --> 00:22:15,659
guys the best of luck it's going to be a

469
00:22:21,529 --> 00:22:17,159
good day and we'll go back to the tent

470
00:22:24,770 --> 00:22:23,390
all right we have a student from Blue

471
00:22:26,810 --> 00:22:24,780
Ridge High School here with us can you

472
00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:26,820
tell us your name my name is Nolan

473
00:22:30,890 --> 00:22:28,980
Gibson great what's your role on the

474
00:22:34,130 --> 00:22:30,900
team Nolan uh my role is really

475
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:37,850
job we just all kind of work together

476
00:22:41,649 --> 00:22:39,529
work really well in the communication of

477
00:22:44,090 --> 00:22:41,659
your team everybody

478
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:44,100
so we all just kind of communicate and

479
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:46,260
make sure the work gets done

480
00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:47,940
and how are you feeling today are you

481
00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:50,100
excited oh yeah there's definitely a lot

482
00:22:53,570 --> 00:22:51,960
of nerves but we're very excited to see

483
00:22:55,549 --> 00:22:53,580
how our Rover performs

484
00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:55,559
perfect can you tell us a little bit

485
00:22:59,870 --> 00:22:57,419
more about the design of your Rover can

486
00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,880
you talk through that well our Rover we

487
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:01,679
went for a little bit of a heavier frame

488
00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:09,950
first

489
00:23:19,909 --> 00:23:10,559
um

490
00:23:24,289 --> 00:23:22,310
you know we see a lot of very difficult

491
00:23:26,090 --> 00:23:24,299
obstacles on this course including a

492
00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:26,100
steep incline does your team go over

493
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:31,970
speed as we can to try and get over it

494
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:33,600
and if we can't we might get out of push

495
00:23:39,049 --> 00:23:36,659
I love that and you competed yesterday

496
00:23:40,490 --> 00:23:39,059
correct yeah okay talk to us a little

497
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:40,500
bit about what you learned from

498
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:42,000
yesterday and what you hope to

499
00:23:47,090 --> 00:23:44,700
accomplish today well yesterday we

500
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:47,100
learned that our Rover can definitely

501
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:49,860
handle the terrain and everything

502
00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:50,880
um

503
00:23:55,130 --> 00:23:53,700
we're hoping to attempt some more of the

504
00:23:58,370 --> 00:23:55,140
obstacles because yesterday we really

505
00:24:00,110 --> 00:23:58,380
just went for time but um

506
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:00,120
I think we learned a couple of things

507
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:02,400
about what our team

508
00:24:06,409 --> 00:24:04,860
I mean our our driver yesterday he was

509
00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:06,419
able to push the Rover for about the

510
00:24:11,270 --> 00:24:08,700
last half and made it to

511
00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:11,280
15 seconds over I believe it was

512
00:24:17,270 --> 00:24:13,919
cool what's your strategy going

513
00:24:19,610 --> 00:24:17,280
uh compared to day one uh day one it was

514
00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:19,620
really just a time thing we were going

515
00:24:25,909 --> 00:24:21,360
to try and take all the bypasses we were

516
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:28,669
to try and get a better time

517
00:24:33,230 --> 00:24:31,020
I love that and as your team is going

518
00:24:34,370 --> 00:24:33,240
down the course is there anyone that you

519
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:34,380
want to think

520
00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:35,880
oh well I definitely want to thank our

521
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:38,159
instructor Mr Woolridge

522
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:45,230
I want to thank my

523
00:24:50,270 --> 00:24:46,740
kind of helped me through all this and

524
00:24:51,950 --> 00:24:50,280
get me here to talk to you guys today

525
00:24:54,169 --> 00:24:51,960
great can

526
00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:54,179
be more about

527
00:24:57,470 --> 00:24:56,220
gopher what what behind maybe your

528
00:25:01,250 --> 00:24:57,480
wheeled sign can you talk through that

529
00:25:04,190 --> 00:25:01,260
oh so our wheel design it's a 24 inch

530
00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:04,200
culvert pipe that we cut into

531
00:25:08,210 --> 00:25:06,840
three sections wide and then the wheel

532
00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:08,220
hub is

533
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:10,200
cut in

534
00:25:16,730 --> 00:25:13,679
kosher and surrounded by that it's six

535
00:25:18,409 --> 00:25:16,740
inch Culvert that we bolted from the

536
00:25:20,990 --> 00:25:18,419
fire extinguisher out

537
00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:21,000
and then we filled it with with rigid

538
00:25:25,610 --> 00:25:24,120
expanding so it's really good structure

539
00:25:27,169 --> 00:25:25,620
that's a very unique design how did you

540
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:27,179
guys come up with like cutting open a

541
00:25:35,330 --> 00:25:29,580
fire extinguisher well we

542
00:25:39,049 --> 00:25:37,070
a lot of our Rovers

543
00:25:40,730 --> 00:25:39,059
based on what we could find around the

544
00:25:42,890 --> 00:25:40,740
shop

545
00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:42,900
very cool can you tell us a little bit

546
00:25:47,330 --> 00:25:44,820
more about maybe the steering on your

547
00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:47,340
Rover so our steering has a very unique

548
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:49,740
design it has a sidebar that we turned

549
00:25:54,409 --> 00:25:51,260
to steer

550
00:25:56,450 --> 00:25:54,419
it was a very last minute change we were

551
00:25:58,370 --> 00:25:56,460
originally planning on a wheel but with

552
00:25:59,930 --> 00:25:58,380
the design of our

553
00:26:01,909 --> 00:25:59,940
work better

554
00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:01,919
it runs into a rod with a slight turn

555
00:26:06,890 --> 00:26:04,559
and it goes directly into our axle and

556
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,900
some steering knuckles

557
00:26:09,890 --> 00:26:08,400
um and just a reminder again there are

558
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,900
some stimming

559
00:26:13,070 --> 00:26:11,520
for the teams as well can you talk a

560
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:13,080
little bit about your sim engagement

561
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:16,320
that your team has done so we have a

562
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:18,000
middle school attached to our high

563
00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:20,760
school and we went in there and we

564
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:22,799
a lot of the high school students to

565
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:26,760
come up with ideas for our task tool and

566
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:28,320
we got a lot of good ideas and we

567
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:31,020
ultimately came out with a um

568
00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:34,020
it's kind of like a little box that we

569
00:26:37,789 --> 00:26:35,580
drop in the water and it has a gasket

570
00:26:39,289 --> 00:26:37,799
that sucks up all the water and it was a

571
00:26:41,570 --> 00:26:39,299
really good idea and we were excited to

572
00:26:43,130 --> 00:26:41,580
use it but

573
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:43,140
so we won't be

574
00:26:48,169 --> 00:26:46,320
great and uh can you tell me about about

575
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:48,179
how you're feeling are you nervous I

576
00:26:50,330 --> 00:26:49,260
know you said you're excited but are

577
00:26:52,850 --> 00:26:50,340
there any nerves involved today

578
00:26:55,970 --> 00:26:53,830
after yesterday

579
00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:55,980
[Music]

580
00:27:01,909 --> 00:27:00,480
reform in the final run and we're our

581
00:27:03,590 --> 00:27:01,919
entire team I don't want to speak for

582
00:27:12,409 --> 00:27:03,600
them but I think we're all

583
00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,690
was there anything that any obstacle

584
00:27:17,450 --> 00:27:16,080
that got in the way prior to even

585
00:27:18,769 --> 00:27:17,460
yesterday

586
00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:18,779
oh yeah

587
00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:20,940
um snow days we have a lot of snow where

588
00:27:24,590 --> 00:27:22,799
we're from I think we probably got about

589
00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:24,600
five feet this year and we missed eight

590
00:27:28,909 --> 00:27:28,020
days of school and because our

591
00:27:31,310 --> 00:27:28,919
um

592
00:27:33,230 --> 00:27:31,320
our build was based off of a club it

593
00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:33,240
wasn't a class or anything

594
00:27:36,110 --> 00:27:34,860
um it was really hard to get there

595
00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:36,120
because

596
00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:38,460
I mean having to drive in after school

597
00:27:42,529 --> 00:27:41,039
wasn't really an option on snow days

598
00:27:43,850 --> 00:27:42,539
that must have been very

599
00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:43,860
like we do have another team ready thank

600
00:27:48,190 --> 00:27:46,200

604
00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:54,240

00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:12,179
the articulated movement on your Rover

613
00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:13,620
it really seemed to pay off yesterday

614
00:28:16,669 --> 00:28:15,360
anything that you guys might have

615
00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:16,679
changed or looking forward to do

616
00:28:22,190 --> 00:28:19,740
different so we're looking to do most of

the tasks today and most of the

618
00:28:26,090 --> 00:28:23,940
obstacles so we know what to expect and

619
00:28:27,169 --> 00:28:26,100
we're ready for it fantastic and they

620
00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:27,179
were telling me that you did some

621
00:28:32,390 --> 00:28:29,039
mountain bike riding to get ready for

622
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:32,400
the the course today how did that go did

623
00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:34,740
it seem to pay off for you yeah I'm

624
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:37,679
ready to Pedal as hard as I can and

625

tasks that you're tackling today

627
00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:43,860
anything else that you guys are looking

628
00:28:46,970 --> 00:28:46,080
to do

629
00:28:50,269 --> 00:28:46,980
um

630
00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:50,279
just do all the obstacles as fast as we

631
00:28:52,610 --> 00:28:51,120
can

632
00:28:54,110 --> 00:28:52,620
there's a couple of tricky ones that

633
00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:54,120
we're gonna skip but other than that I

634
00:28:56,930 --> 00:28:54,960
think

635
00:28:58,730 --> 00:28:56,940
we're ready to go all right and we're

636
00:29:00,649 --> 00:28:58,740

640
00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:11,700
teams on the course right now

641
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:13,500
um their teams are cheering them on and

642
00:29:21,169 --> 00:29:19,310
they made it through

643
00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:21,179
it through that pretty well

644
00:29:25,549 --> 00:29:23,520
um oh looks like they're actually out of

645
00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,559
the Rover pushing it so they might be

646
00:29:29,450 --> 00:29:27,840
having some difficulties but we have the

647
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:29,460
University of Alabama and Huntsville is

648
00:29:33,289 --> 00:29:30,779
getting ready to go that's the local

649
00:29:34,730 --> 00:29:33,299
team here so it'll be exciting to see

651
00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:37,020

School District of going right now well

654
00:29:45,889 --> 00:29:43,440
we just talked with uh Nolan and we

655
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:45,899
heard all about the challenges uh that

656
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:49,380
they overcame to get this going so looks

657
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:50,880
like they're pushing their way through

658
00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:53,279
and we're excited for them and all of

659
00:30:02,630 --> 00:29:54,659
our teams

660
00:30:06,409 --> 00:30:04,669
we even have some singing going on here

661
00:30:08,570 --> 00:30:06,419
for teens getting super excited before

00:30:11,630 --> 00:30:08,580
they go into the course

663
00:30:13,549 --> 00:30:11,640

that so they're excited to be here

666
00:30:27,409 --> 00:30:24,350

00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:27,419
has made it to that finish

668
00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:29,220
University of Alabama and Huntsville is

669
00:30:41,210 --> 00:30:39,350

672
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:44,700
uh NASA social media platforms are a

673
00:30:48,289 --> 00:30:46,559
great place to not only learn more but

674
00:30:51,289 --> 00:30:48,299
to engage with others around the world

675
00:30:54,049 --> 00:30:51,299

teams to start I want to give a big

686
00:31:17,870 --> 00:31:15,720
shout out to our sponsors you know their

687
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:17,880
their support is not only monetary but

688
00:31:21,590 --> 00:31:19,679
it's just about the advice that they

689
00:31:23,389 --> 00:31:21,600
give and the help that they have we have

690
00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:23,399
so many volunteers today that are that

691
00:31:28,430 --> 00:31:24,840
are helping us and it wouldn't be

692
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:31,010
we cannot thank them enough

693
00:31:34,130 --> 00:31:32,700
and I and let's talk about the

694
00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:34,140
challenges

695
00:31:39,529 --> 00:31:36,480
there are 10 obstacles I mean anything

696
00:31:41,570 --> 00:31:39,539
from an incline to a big Ravine that

697
00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:41,580
these students have to go through we saw

698
00:31:45,409 --> 00:31:43,380
some difficulties yesterday with that

699
00:31:48,289 --> 00:31:45,419
hopefully we won't see any difficulties

700
00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:50,330
they have five tasks they have to

701
00:31:55,310 --> 00:31:53,039
complete and it's that liquid sample

702
00:31:56,810 --> 00:31:55,320
retrieval so they have to be able to

703
00:31:59,330 --> 00:31:56,820
collect that liquid sample without

704
00:32:01,370 --> 00:31:59,340
getting off the Rover and they cannot

705
00:32:03,529 --> 00:32:01,380
cross-contaminate so they've got to

706
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:03,539
build a whole tool for this and you know

707
00:32:07,549 --> 00:32:05,700
it's a lot of it's a lot of work for

708
00:32:09,529 --> 00:32:07,559
these students you know they go to

709
00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:09,539
classes they have homework when they get

710
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:11,340
home and then they're also building a

711
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:13,440
Rover it's a lot of work Lance can you

712
00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:15,120
tell us more about you know what these

713
00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:17,580
students mindsets might be today oh I

714
00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:19,500
think they're very excited as you can

715
00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:23,279
hear the background a lot of morale here

716
00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:25,380
come from near and many have come from

717
00:32:31,010 --> 00:32:28,559
far and uh just just looking around it's

718
00:32:33,169 --> 00:32:31,020
just a lot of enthusiasm and passion

719
00:32:34,970 --> 00:32:33,179
goal I would say absolutely passion for

720
00:32:36,769 --> 00:32:34,980

um they're helping set up reset up these

726
00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:44,880

tasks they have to complete uh they have

827
00:38:30,170 --> 00:38:26,339
to get these liquid samples without

828
00:38:35,089 --> 00:38:32,150
so this is an interesting tool that the

829
00:38:36,890 --> 00:38:35,099
students have created to be able to grab

830
00:38:47,270 --> 00:38:36,900

831
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:49,490

00:41:02,450 --> 00:41:00,829
amazing though it looks like we do have

866
00:41:04,910 --> 00:41:02,460
another team down at the start line

867
00:41:10,849 --> 00:41:04,920
getting ready to go so let's pass it to

868
00:41:15,829 --> 00:41:14,150
guys I am here with the team from Mexico

869
00:41:19,250 --> 00:41:15,839
they are bringing the party they are

870
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:19,260
bringing their friends and uh what is

871
00:41:23,089 --> 00:41:20,700
your name and what school are you from

872
00:41:25,790 --> 00:41:23,099
my name is Ian the ring and I am from

873
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:28,069
fantastic and yesterday unfortunately

874
00:41:32,390 --> 00:41:30,540
you guys lost a wheel on that incline it

875
00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:32,400
was heartbreaking to see online but you

876
00:41:36,829 --> 00:41:34,500
know what I see four wheels here today

877
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:36,839
and I see some good attitudes what did

878
00:41:41,089 --> 00:41:38,640
you guys have to do to fix that we

879
00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:41,099
brought a Spur wheels from from Mexico

880
00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:43,040
because

881
00:41:46,730 --> 00:41:45,480
so we only reinforced the wheels the

882
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:46,740
back wheels that were the ones that were

883
00:41:50,930 --> 00:41:48,180
broken and now we're going to bypass

884
00:41:52,670 --> 00:41:50,940
anything no it's not too whiskey I think

885
00:41:54,770 --> 00:41:52,680
that's a great idea you guys are doing

886
00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:54,780

887
00:41:58,970 --> 00:41:56,760

like they're going to be trying to get

902
00:42:56,569 --> 00:42:54,720
back on this is a good time to remind

00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:56,579
everybody that these student teams

904
00:43:02,329 --> 00:42:59,280
design develop build and test these

905
00:43:04,190 --> 00:43:02,339
power Rovers capable of traversing this

906
00:43:06,290 --> 00:43:04,200
challenging terrain this course is

907
00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:06,300
simulating terrain at the moon the Mars

908
00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:08,880
and other solar bodies too

909
00:43:12,910 --> 00:43:10,560
um you know they also have to complete

the various Mission tasks along the way

911
00:43:18,170 --> 00:43:16,020
so they have created different tools

912
00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:18,180
they've talked about their designs of

913
00:43:22,609 --> 00:43:20,160
their wheels the designs of the steering

914
00:43:24,650 --> 00:43:22,619
all to help get through these obstacle

yeah

969
00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:16,020
small city called cornelaka and we're

970
00:46:20,210 --> 00:46:17,819
Breakside about engineering we love to

971
00:46:22,010 --> 00:46:20,220
do this and we're very happy to be here

972
00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:22,020
yesterday we were a little bit like down

973
00:46:26,510 --> 00:46:24,540
because of an accident on the road one

974
00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:26,520
of our Wheels broke like completely

975
00:46:32,170 --> 00:46:30,240
sorry so it was like a mess but after

976
00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:32,180
checking the rubber we realized that

977
00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:34,560
everything that we have it was like

978
00:46:39,890 --> 00:46:37,680
completely full Integrity it was so well

979
00:46:42,349 --> 00:46:39,900
done we have a philosophy that is a

980
00:46:44,329 --> 00:46:42,359
simple murderer and well done and our

981
00:46:47,150 --> 00:46:44,339
Black Box because at the back of the

982
00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:47,160
Rover I have like small blocks there we

983
00:46:51,770 --> 00:46:49,800
can record everything the speed the

984
00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,780
angle the acceleration it's the

985
00:46:55,609 --> 00:46:53,760
Telemetry of our rubber so we know

986
00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:55,619
exactly what happened and how to solve

987
00:47:02,390 --> 00:46:58,319
it so now we're gonna buy as an obstacle

988
00:47:04,790 --> 00:47:02,400
and make our best to to get the best

989
00:47:07,370 --> 00:47:04,800
points in this course we're really happy

990
00:47:10,609 --> 00:47:07,380
we're really excited

991
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:10,619
um I think our team has worked very hard

992
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:13,140
a lot of people a lot of students a lot

993
00:47:18,410 --> 00:47:15,300
of teachers and we're gonna put

994
00:47:20,569 --> 00:47:18,420
everything on the on the road today and

995
00:47:22,609 --> 00:47:20,579
I can see it's a little bit of a problem

996
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:22,619
because of the month right there was a

997
00:47:28,670 --> 00:47:26,640
rain yesterday and Yeah the more it's a

998
00:47:31,309 --> 00:47:28,680
little bit complicated with the wheels

999
00:47:33,890 --> 00:47:31,319
and everything it's

1000
00:47:35,329 --> 00:47:33,900
well it's that's a small problem yeah

1001
00:47:36,530 --> 00:47:35,339
right

1002
00:47:40,430 --> 00:47:36,540
we're having a small problem but I'm

1003
00:47:43,370 --> 00:47:41,690
I'm glad you're happy to be here that's

1004
00:47:45,710 --> 00:47:43,380
so good to hear

1005
00:47:47,390 --> 00:47:45,720
um so tell us a little bit more about

1006
00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:47,400
um kind of what you have is there

1007
00:47:49,670 --> 00:47:48,960
anything you change from day one to day

1008
00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:49,680
two

1009
00:47:57,290 --> 00:47:54,960
ratchet wrote so we were like a

1010
00:47:59,990 --> 00:47:57,300
completely fixing a ratchet in our

1011
00:48:02,210 --> 00:48:00,000
pedals because with that we keep the

1012
00:48:06,109 --> 00:48:02,220
power of our rubber so that we could go

1013
00:48:09,470 --> 00:48:06,119
faster with less power so yeah we also

1014
00:48:11,690 --> 00:48:09,480
changed the rocking wheel and we mixed

1015
00:48:14,510 --> 00:48:11,700
we had some supports to the wheels just

1016
00:48:16,190 --> 00:48:14,520
to make sure everything was fine and

1017
00:48:18,829 --> 00:48:16,200
we're really happy to see that

1018
00:48:21,309 --> 00:48:18,839
everything is it's it's working we made

1019
00:48:24,770 --> 00:48:21,319
some tests yesterday our rubber was

1020
00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:24,780
really really really like good climbing

1021
00:48:32,390 --> 00:48:30,710
it looks like they're doing a liquid

1022
00:48:34,849 --> 00:48:32,400
sample retrieval right now can you tell

1023
00:48:36,730 --> 00:48:34,859
us about that yeah of course with this I

1024
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:36,740
know or sample like

1025
00:48:42,589 --> 00:48:39,540
all sample retrievals in that case we

1026
00:48:46,130 --> 00:48:42,599
have a long cartoon in that and with

1027
00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:46,140
different tubes and that way we can make

1028
00:48:52,490 --> 00:48:48,420
a lot of things in in different size

1029
00:48:56,089 --> 00:48:54,170
all right it looks like we do have a

1030
00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:56,099
team ready at the start line so we are

1031
00:49:01,309 --> 00:48:57,599

there's nothing more you can say I'm

1075
00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:54,240
just feeling extremely pumped up and I

1076
00:50:58,670 --> 00:50:56,160
have so much confidence in our drivers

1077
00:51:00,410 --> 00:50:58,680
they did honestly more than we ever

1078
00:51:01,910 --> 00:51:00,420
could have expected yesterday and I just

1079
00:51:03,770 --> 00:51:01,920
have complete faith

1080
00:51:05,150 --> 00:51:03,780
so I'm really excited for today I feel

1081
00:51:07,370 --> 00:51:05,160
like it's gonna be good

1082
00:51:09,650 --> 00:51:07,380
and I I believe y'all did pretty well

1083
00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:09,660
yesterday so kind of what's the mindset

1084
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:11,579
today have you changed any strategies or

1085
00:51:17,450 --> 00:51:15,540
going going for it um well yesterday

1086
00:51:19,549 --> 00:51:17,460
um what the pedal broke on the front

1087
00:51:22,190 --> 00:51:19,559
wheel so our front driver was pedaling

1088
00:51:24,049 --> 00:51:22,200
with one leg for the entire time so we

1089
00:51:25,309 --> 00:51:24,059
still made it up the hill so the only

1090
00:51:27,650 --> 00:51:25,319
thing is we're going to try to hit every

1091
00:51:29,329 --> 00:51:27,660
obstacle um we couldn't do two yesterday

1092
00:51:31,549 --> 00:51:29,339
and today we're definitely going to go

1093
00:51:33,589 --> 00:51:31,559
for the tasks it was just it wasn't

1094
00:51:35,329 --> 00:51:33,599
it wasn't yesterday because of that big

1095
00:51:37,609 --> 00:51:35,339
hiccup but today we're definitely going

1096
00:51:39,290 --> 00:51:37,619
to try to go all the way

1097
00:51:41,690 --> 00:51:39,300
I'm sure your driver's leg is uh really

1098
00:51:43,250 --> 00:51:41,700
sore today he actually feels he said he

1099
00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:43,260
feels great and he's ready to go he's

1100
00:51:46,190 --> 00:51:44,880
excited our thing is we're just trying

1101
00:51:47,870 --> 00:51:46,200
to do everything we can for the drivers

1102
00:51:50,690 --> 00:51:47,880

00:52:06,950 --> 00:52:03,720
your team has done in your local

1110
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:06,960
community yeah yeah so not only did we

come we showed off the Rover we tried to

1114
00:52:16,250 --> 00:52:14,819
get people excited because previously

1115
00:52:17,630 --> 00:52:16,260
people haven't been excited too much

1116
00:52:18,770 --> 00:52:17,640
about like the Rover project in our

1117
00:52:20,030 --> 00:52:18,780
school and we're really trying to Hype

1118
00:52:22,370 --> 00:52:20,040
it up again because it used to be a big

1119
00:52:24,890 --> 00:52:22,380
deal and um we've been going to

1120
00:52:27,410 --> 00:52:24,900
elementary schools and putting on

1121
00:52:29,329 --> 00:52:27,420
um doing presentations for them and

1122
00:52:30,829 --> 00:52:29,339
doing little projects like um there's a

01:09:25,189 --> 01:09:23,040
uh fantastic Anita so yesterday how did

1223
01:09:26,749 --> 01:09:25,199
the course go for you guys it went very

1224
01:09:28,550 --> 01:09:26,759
well we took a more conservative

1225
01:09:30,650 --> 01:09:28,560
approach so we bypassed certain

1226
01:09:33,110 --> 01:09:30,660
obstacles we our main goal was just to

1227
01:09:34,729 --> 01:09:33,120
get points on the board and say we hope

1228
01:09:36,470 --> 01:09:34,739
to improve upon that and hopefully

1229
01:09:38,150 --> 01:09:36,480
increase our score

1230
01:09:39,470 --> 01:09:38,160
fantastic is there anything that you

1231
01:09:40,789 --> 01:09:39,480
guys may have changed overnight about

1232
01:09:43,849 --> 01:09:40,799
your Rover

1233
01:09:45,169 --> 01:09:43,859
we adjusted some of the tasks because

1234
01:09:46,610 --> 01:09:45,179
that is the main thing that we're going

1235
01:09:48,530 --> 01:09:46,620
to be changing about our race we're

1236
01:09:50,749 --> 01:09:48,540
going to attempt some more tests so we

1237
01:09:52,910 --> 01:09:50,759
refined some of them and that is the

1238
01:09:54,890 --> 01:09:52,920
main change that I could say

1239
01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:54,900
fantastic and what's your name hi I'm

1240
01:09:59,750 --> 01:09:57,540
Christopher I'm a sophomore

1241
01:10:01,669 --> 01:09:59,760
okay Christopher I hear that you are the

1242
01:10:04,430 --> 01:10:01,679
welding guy behind this Rover yeah I

1243
01:10:06,470 --> 01:10:04,440
mean me and a friend uh welded uh quite

1244
01:10:08,930 --> 01:10:06,480
a bit of the frame and uh

1245
01:10:10,910 --> 01:10:08,940
and put it together and tell me about

1246
01:10:11,930 --> 01:10:10,920
these wheels these are very interesting

1247
01:10:14,630 --> 01:10:11,940
to me

1248
01:10:17,810 --> 01:10:14,640
um so they're these outer layers are

1249
01:10:20,870 --> 01:10:17,820
triple corrugated uh cardboard these two

1250
01:10:23,149 --> 01:10:20,880
higher inner layers are plywood and then

1251
01:10:25,310 --> 01:10:23,159
there's cardboard on the outside so the

1252
01:10:27,950 --> 01:10:25,320
plywood gives it its rigidity and its

1253
01:10:33,050 --> 01:10:27,960
main structure and then the plywood is

1254
01:10:35,930 --> 01:10:33,060
there for like more uh more uh loose uh

1255
01:10:38,570 --> 01:10:35,940
surfaces so like gravel and and dirt and

1256
01:10:42,950 --> 01:10:38,580
stuff so it allows us to go over almost

1257
01:10:45,229 --> 01:10:44,450
of what did you guys do to train for

1258
01:10:47,510 --> 01:10:45,239
this

1259
01:10:49,910 --> 01:10:47,520
so we have a couple homemade obstacles

1260
01:10:52,550 --> 01:10:49,920
that we went over just to get a feel of

1261
01:10:54,290 --> 01:10:52,560
how the Rover would operate and aside

1262
01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:54,300
from that just working on communication

1263
01:10:58,990 --> 01:10:56,640
between drivers like I'm practicing our

1264
01:11:01,189 --> 01:10:59,000
safe word and going over core strategy

1265
01:11:02,930 --> 01:11:01,199
can you tell me what your safe word is

1266
01:11:05,209 --> 01:11:02,940
it's ice

1267
01:11:07,910 --> 01:11:05,219
so you say Ice Ice Baby and then it just

1268
01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:07,920
happens right just ice

1269
01:11:11,510 --> 01:11:09,840
all right and you have a lot of support

1270
01:11:13,250 --> 01:11:11,520
here can you tell me a little bit about

1271
01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:13,260
your sponsors

1272
01:11:16,370 --> 01:11:14,640
um so we're sponsored by American

1273
01:11:18,830 --> 01:11:16,380
Machinery group

1274
01:11:21,830 --> 01:11:18,840
um there we have an alumni who works

1275
01:11:23,870 --> 01:11:21,840
there who helps us with um a lot of some

1276
01:11:25,790 --> 01:11:23,880
a lot of components that he he's just a

1277
01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:25,800
really big wealth of knowledge that we

1278
01:11:31,010 --> 01:11:29,040
are so lucky to have and we we try and

1279
01:11:34,149 --> 01:11:31,020
make the best use of that resource that

1280
01:11:39,050 --> 01:11:37,430
Outfitters did our Wheels um for us

1281
01:11:41,270 --> 01:11:39,060
um it's a pretty odd request to get

1282
01:11:43,669 --> 01:11:41,280
these wheels scented the truck bed liner

1283
01:11:45,350 --> 01:11:43,679
so we really appreciate that awesome

1284
01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:45,360
well I know we want to thank the parents

1285
01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:46,800
out there we want to thank all the

1286
01:11:51,110 --> 01:11:48,480
people and the teachers who helped lead

1287
01:11:52,910 --> 01:11:51,120
these high school teams and I wish you

1288
01:11:54,770 --> 01:11:52,920
guys the best today on the course all

1289
01:13:03,709 --> 01:11:54,780
right we're gonna get you guys on here

1290
01:13:03,719 --> 01:15:57,709
okay

1291
01:15:57,719 --> 01:18:00,410
foreign

1292
01:18:05,930 --> 01:18:03,290
we're back at the human exploration

1293
01:18:08,030 --> 01:18:05,940
Rover challenge hurt for short I'm here

1294
01:18:09,950 --> 01:18:08,040
with Florida Atlantic University is that

1295
01:18:11,870 --> 01:18:09,960
right all right and what is your name

1296
01:18:13,310 --> 01:18:11,880
Martin Palm all right Martin and what

1297
01:18:15,410 --> 01:18:13,320
are you studying in school uh mechanical

1298
01:18:16,850 --> 01:18:15,420
engineering fantastic so let's talk a

1299
01:18:19,550 --> 01:18:16,860
little bit about yesterday had some

1300
01:18:22,070 --> 01:18:19,560
trouble with your drive train uh we had

1301
01:18:23,810 --> 01:18:22,080
our fantastic co-pilot here pushing all

1302
01:18:25,729 --> 01:18:23,820
the weight yesterday and what did you do

1303
01:18:27,350 --> 01:18:25,739
to fix that well we went ahead and

1304
01:18:28,850 --> 01:18:27,360
replaced the Freewheel in the left wheel

1305
01:18:30,790 --> 01:18:28,860
and the keyway that drives the right

1306
01:18:33,070 --> 01:18:30,800
wheel so both systems broke yesterday

1307
01:18:35,930 --> 01:18:33,080
and we should be good for today

1308
01:18:38,270 --> 01:18:35,940
fantastic and what is your name Deanna

1309
01:18:41,209 --> 01:18:38,280
Jean Baptiste all right and you are

1310
01:18:42,530 --> 01:18:41,219
glaming it out I'm loving these glasses

1311
01:18:44,209 --> 01:18:42,540
um tell me a little bit about how

1312
01:18:45,709 --> 01:18:44,219
yesterday felt to you

1313
01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:45,719
um yesterday was definitely a challenge

1314
01:18:49,729 --> 01:18:47,760
but I feel like with our communication

1315
01:18:52,970 --> 01:18:49,739
we definitely chugged it through yeah

1316
01:18:54,890 --> 01:18:52,980
and you learn by failures right and so

1317
01:18:56,330 --> 01:18:54,900
tell me a little bit about what you are

1318
01:18:57,890 --> 01:18:56,340
studying in college I'm studying

1319
01:18:59,930 --> 01:18:57,900
mechanical engineering as well both

1320
01:19:02,030 --> 01:18:59,940
mechanical Engineers talk to me about

1321
01:19:04,070 --> 01:19:02,040
this three-wheel design the three wheel

1322
01:19:06,350 --> 01:19:04,080
design is amazing I feel like it helps

1323
01:19:08,810 --> 01:19:06,360
us get maneuver better rather than

1324
01:19:10,910 --> 01:19:08,820
before yeah you really had some great uh

1325
01:19:13,010 --> 01:19:10,920
jobs doing trying is that the slalom is

1326
01:19:15,290 --> 01:19:13,020
that yeah you guys really worked that

1327
01:19:16,669 --> 01:19:15,300
one yesterday and

1328
01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:16,679
um how long did it take you guys to get

1329
01:19:20,990 --> 01:19:19,440
up here uh 12 hour drive you know just a

1330
01:19:23,090 --> 01:19:21,000

thank uh who helped you out with this

1334
01:19:30,950 --> 01:19:29,520
well so we're a senior design team so we

1335
01:19:32,510 --> 01:19:30,960
had you know seven of us working on this

1336
01:19:34,669 --> 01:19:32,520
got this Rover built we had our machine

1337
01:19:36,410 --> 01:19:34,679
shop teacher that's with us

1338
01:19:38,390 --> 01:19:36,420
um Fred and he helped us get all this

1339
01:19:39,770 --> 01:19:38,400
designed helped us you know plan out how

1340
01:19:42,050 --> 01:19:39,780
we should operate the machines what we

1341
01:19:43,669 --> 01:19:42,060
should do and of course a huge thanks to

1342
01:19:45,590 --> 01:19:43,679
parental figures like my father and

1343
01:19:46,610 --> 01:19:45,600
grandfather just helping out with a

1344
01:19:48,830 --> 01:19:46,620
little bit of engineering thought

1345
01:19:50,149 --> 01:19:48,840
process making sure everything was safe

1346
01:19:52,250 --> 01:19:50,159
and look good

1347
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:52,260
fantastic and is there anything that you

1348
01:19:55,610 --> 01:19:53,640
guys are going to try on the course

1349
01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:55,620
today that maybe you didn't get a chance

1350
01:19:58,790 --> 01:19:57,600
to do yesterday

1351
01:20:00,830 --> 01:19:58,800
um we definitely want to try the

1352
01:20:02,510 --> 01:20:00,840
boulders today we do want to pick up

1353
01:20:04,729 --> 01:20:02,520
some more samples as well but we just

1354
01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:04,739
want to keep safety as our main priority

1355
01:20:08,870 --> 01:20:06,480
fantastic well I'm gonna wish you guys

1356
01:20:10,729 --> 01:20:08,880

and we'll see you guys at the Finish

1358
01:22:29,980 --> 01:20:12,000
Line yeah

1359
01:22:29,990 --> 01:23:08,090
[Music]

1360
01:23:08,100 --> 01:23:54,050
how's it going

1361
01:23:58,790 --> 01:23:56,570
hey there I am Beth Ridgeway with

1362
01:24:01,250 --> 01:23:58,800
Marshall space flight center we are here

1363
01:24:03,410 --> 01:24:01,260
in beautiful Huntsville Alabama today at

1364
01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:03,420
the U.S Space and Rocket Center here at

1365
01:24:07,370 --> 01:24:05,280
the aviation challenge course I'm here

1366
01:24:09,470 --> 01:24:07,380
with Texas Tech right now they're about

1367
01:24:11,750 --> 01:24:09,480
to take on to this course about to take

1368
01:24:13,490 --> 01:24:11,760
this challenge uh how you feeling how

1369
01:24:14,990 --> 01:24:13,500
did yesterday go

1370
01:24:16,729 --> 01:24:15,000
um pretty good we made it all the way

1371
01:24:18,290 --> 01:24:16,739
through the course like by pedaling the

1372
01:24:20,930 --> 01:24:18,300
Rover so we're pretty proud about that

1373
01:24:23,149 --> 01:24:20,940
our plan today is to just get done in

1374
01:24:24,350 --> 01:24:23,159
under eight minutes okay so I see that

1375
01:24:26,090 --> 01:24:24,360
you're all wearing your engineering

1376
01:24:28,550 --> 01:24:26,100
teams you're both mechanical engineers

1377
01:24:30,050 --> 01:24:28,560
what did you do to kind of work on some

1378
01:24:32,990 --> 01:24:30,060
of your problems yesterday

1379
01:24:35,030 --> 01:24:33,000
uh we had actually our back axle part of

1380
01:24:36,770 --> 01:24:35,040
it sheared in half

1381
01:24:38,450 --> 01:24:36,780
um so we had to replace that par we got

1382
01:24:41,090 --> 01:24:38,460
it done at the machine shop and put it

1383
01:24:42,709 --> 01:24:41,100
back on and then our seats were a little

1384
01:24:44,209 --> 01:24:42,719
flimsy yesterday so we kind of beef

1385
01:24:46,010 --> 01:24:44,219
those up so we have a lot of power to

1386
01:24:47,390 --> 01:24:46,020
push back onto oh that's fantastic

1387
01:24:49,370 --> 01:24:47,400
because you kind of need that to get up

1388
01:24:51,229 --> 01:24:49,380
those heels and over those bumps and

1389
01:24:52,970 --> 01:24:51,239
what is your name I'm Jason kondikoff

1390
01:24:54,410 --> 01:24:52,980
all right Jason what are you studying in

1391
01:24:55,910 --> 01:24:54,420
school you're both mechanical engineers

1392
01:24:57,950 --> 01:24:55,920
right yes but I'm mechanical engineering

1393
01:25:01,850 --> 01:24:57,960
what did you guys do to train for this

1394
01:25:03,890 --> 01:25:01,860
uh mostly just gym work cycling uh we

1395
01:25:05,209 --> 01:25:03,900
had a little pilot like competition to

1396
01:25:07,070 --> 01:25:05,219
figure out who's doing it and then from

1397
01:25:09,050 --> 01:25:07,080
that point on once I got it I just was

1398
01:25:11,209 --> 01:25:09,060
in the gym you know trying to train

1399
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:11,219
cardio and strength so yeah get those

1400
01:25:15,890 --> 01:25:13,380
reps in and do you uh have a playlist

1401
01:25:17,930 --> 01:25:15,900
that you guys were listening to to kind

1402
01:25:19,250 --> 01:25:17,940
of work on that

1403
01:25:20,510 --> 01:25:19,260
um oh definitely we definitely have a

1404
01:25:21,830 --> 01:25:20,520
hype playlist that we've been going on

1405
01:25:23,270 --> 01:25:21,840
we were just listening to Eye of the

1406
01:25:24,729 --> 01:25:23,280
Tiger so that was like getting us

1407
01:25:27,290 --> 01:25:24,739
getting us ready for competition

1408
01:25:28,790 --> 01:25:27,300
absolutely so is there anything that

1409
01:25:30,709 --> 01:25:28,800
you'd like to talk about your Rover that

1410
01:25:32,030 --> 01:25:30,719
you're really proud of uh we really like

1411
01:25:34,370 --> 01:25:32,040
our Wheels we've been getting a lot of

1412
01:25:36,950 --> 01:25:34,380
compliments on those so far uh so

1413
01:25:38,990 --> 01:25:36,960
basically we cut out from a aluminum

1414
01:25:41,090 --> 01:25:39,000
plate on the CNC plasma cutter the

1415
01:25:44,810 --> 01:25:41,100
double T's and then the circles are

1416
01:25:47,810 --> 01:25:44,820
actually PVC and then the tire tread is

1417
01:25:49,189 --> 01:25:47,820
um 3D printed TPU oh my goodness so how

1418
01:25:51,649 --> 01:25:49,199
long did it take to 3D print something

1419
01:25:53,990 --> 01:25:51,659
like that I think each tread took about

1420
01:25:57,229 --> 01:25:54,000
24 hours you know so not a long time

1421
01:25:58,550 --> 01:25:57,239
just we weren't waiting at all all right

1422
01:25:59,990 --> 01:25:58,560
well we are going to wait for you guys

1423
01:26:02,629 --> 01:26:00,000
to get over there we'll see you at your

1424
01:26:16,550 --> 01:26:02,639
Finish Line best of luck to you and way

1425
01:26:16,560 --> 01:27:17,209
thank you

1426
01:27:17,219 --> 01:31:05,810
I'll take one

1427
01:31:09,350 --> 01:31:08,270
if someone's coming to relieve eight and

1428
01:32:13,850 --> 01:31:09,360

Alabama at the U.S Space and Rocket

1435
01:32:29,689 --> 01:32:28,139
Center we're here on the aviation course

1436
01:32:33,169 --> 01:32:29,699
this is the first time that we've had

1437
01:32:36,530 --> 01:32:33,179
this 29 years next year will be 30 for

1438
01:32:37,729 --> 01:32:36,540

okay awesome and can you tell me your

1506
01:47:48,530 --> 01:47:45,480

Timmy Doris and Virginia neighbors okay

1508
01:47:52,850 --> 01:47:50,820
so tell me a little bit about your Rover

1509
01:47:54,590 --> 01:47:52,860
how did you do yesterday what are some

1510
01:47:55,970 --> 01:47:54,600
of the things that your

1511
01:47:58,189 --> 01:47:55,980
um that you learned yesterday that

1512
01:48:00,530 --> 01:47:58,199
you're going to take for it on today's

1513
01:48:03,050 --> 01:48:00,540
course yeah so yesterday we finished

1514
01:48:05,330 --> 01:48:03,060
that seven minutes and 45 seconds so we

1515
01:48:08,030 --> 01:48:05,340
have 15 seconds left to spare we

1516
01:48:10,550 --> 01:48:08,040
attempted some of the obstacles and uh

1517
01:48:12,830 --> 01:48:10,560
it took up a lot of our time it took a

1518
01:48:14,390 --> 01:48:12,840
minute and 34 seconds and so we're gonna

1519
01:48:15,890 --> 01:48:14,400
skip a couple of things today and go

1520
01:48:18,649 --> 01:48:15,900
after more tasks today

1521
01:48:20,689 --> 01:48:18,659
that sounds great and so what is your

1522
01:48:23,810 --> 01:48:20,699
like opinion of a course do you think

1523
01:48:25,310 --> 01:48:23,820
it's like was it super hard was it just

1524
01:48:28,609 --> 01:48:25,320
challenging enough

1525
01:48:30,229 --> 01:48:28,619
it's pretty hard yes I I I find it very

1526
01:48:32,990 --> 01:48:30,239
hard to probably get all this done

1527
01:48:34,729 --> 01:48:33,000
everything in eight minutes I think if

1528
01:48:37,070 --> 01:48:34,739
it's 10 minutes I think it'd be a game

1529
01:48:38,689 --> 01:48:37,080
changer for everybody but I mean we

1530
01:48:41,330 --> 01:48:38,699
gotta roll with the rules you know yeah

1531
01:48:43,550 --> 01:48:41,340
gotta roll with it um it's speaking of

1532
01:48:45,590 --> 01:48:43,560
Roland tell me about your tires because

1533
01:48:47,149 --> 01:48:45,600
these are really cool tires and that's

1534
01:48:49,550 --> 01:48:47,159
one thing that we've noticed you know

1535
01:48:51,590 --> 01:48:49,560
each team has different Wheels different

1536
01:48:54,169 --> 01:48:51,600
tires so can y'all tell us a little bit

1537
01:48:57,290 --> 01:48:54,179
about those and kind of what went into

1538
01:48:59,570 --> 01:48:57,300
your design making choices on those

1539
01:49:01,430 --> 01:48:59,580
yes um as you can see some of these

1540
01:49:03,229 --> 01:49:01,440
teams out here I mean they got flimsy

1541
01:49:04,850 --> 01:49:03,239
tires and we don't want flimsy tires

1542
01:49:06,169 --> 01:49:04,860
we're out here for durability I mean

1543
01:49:08,030 --> 01:49:06,179
you've seen what we was doing yesterday

1544
01:49:10,010 --> 01:49:08,040
I mean my goodness I was kicking the

1545
01:49:11,930 --> 01:49:10,020
tires didn't he phase it by no means

1546
01:49:13,070 --> 01:49:11,940
it's aluminum it's got rubber tread on

1547
01:49:19,910 --> 01:49:13,080
it

1548
01:49:22,609 --> 01:49:19,920
these to race in you know so

1549
01:49:25,609 --> 01:49:22,619
yeah and it's lighter and

1550
01:49:27,470 --> 01:49:25,619
yeah well they look good

1551
01:49:29,510 --> 01:49:27,480
um so I think we still have a few more

1552
01:49:32,030 --> 01:49:29,520
minutes before we

1553
01:49:33,950 --> 01:49:32,040
um are going to let you guys go so

1554
01:49:35,689 --> 01:49:33,960
there's several other

1555
01:49:38,090 --> 01:49:35,699
um Rovers that are still on the course

1556
01:49:41,330 --> 01:49:38,100
so tell us a little bit about the design

1557
01:49:43,250 --> 01:49:41,340
of your rose fur in general like um I

1558
01:49:45,350 --> 01:49:43,260
see you guys are sitting side by side

1559
01:49:47,930 --> 01:49:45,360
you know some of our rovers are sending

1560
01:49:50,390 --> 01:49:47,940
back like What's um what was you know

1561
01:49:52,070 --> 01:49:50,400
kind of your thoughts in that

1562
01:49:54,709 --> 01:49:52,080
yeah

1563
01:49:55,790 --> 01:49:54,719
we would match her over in the in the

1564
01:49:57,410 --> 01:49:55,800
Space Center

1565
01:49:58,370 --> 01:49:57,420
we was trying to match it as much as

1566
01:50:00,709 --> 01:49:58,380
possible

1567
01:50:02,930 --> 01:50:00,719
yeah because we saw like we saw the

1568
01:50:05,450 --> 01:50:02,940
durability of that so why not try to

1569
01:50:07,370 --> 01:50:05,460
have a design but two by two like that

1570
01:50:08,930 --> 01:50:07,380
um and we have like parking brakes for

1571
01:50:12,410 --> 01:50:08,940
like something you would use on a

1572
01:50:13,609 --> 01:50:12,420
bicycle that's our braking system and uh

1573
01:50:15,950 --> 01:50:13,619
um yeah

1574
01:50:18,050 --> 01:50:15,960
well hey that that totally makes sense

1575
01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:18,060
so tell me a little bit about some of

1576
01:50:24,530 --> 01:50:20,400
the obstacles that you faced yesterday

1577
01:50:27,770 --> 01:50:24,540
so especially for our viewers that are

1578
01:50:30,229 --> 01:50:27,780
tuning in today and may not have watched

1579
01:50:32,689 --> 01:50:30,239
all day yesterday so the course has

1580
01:50:35,330 --> 01:50:32,699
several different terrains that you have

1581
01:50:37,250 --> 01:50:35,340
to cross and then it also has several

1582
01:50:38,990 --> 01:50:37,260
different challenges where you have to

1583
01:50:41,510 --> 01:50:39,000
pick things up and things like that so

1584
01:50:43,189 --> 01:50:41,520
tell us about some of that okay so that

1585
01:50:45,649 --> 01:50:43,199
right there that there is for lose the

1586
01:50:47,689 --> 01:50:45,659
first off first obstacle we went a

1587
01:50:50,149 --> 01:50:47,699
little sideways and was like

1588
01:50:52,129 --> 01:50:50,159
let me just power through it and really

1589
01:50:53,870 --> 01:50:52,139
honestly the ones with the tires with

1590
01:50:56,990 --> 01:50:53,880
rocks but he's concerned it really good

1591
01:50:59,330 --> 01:50:57,000
we tried to do the Butte it failed we we

1592
01:51:00,649 --> 01:50:59,340
did the side thing yesterday I think we

1593
01:51:03,350 --> 01:51:00,659
probably the only team that accomplished

1594
01:51:05,270 --> 01:51:03,360
that but it slid it sideways before we

1595
01:51:06,649 --> 01:51:05,280
intended but we just rode with it like I

1596
01:51:08,990 --> 01:51:06,659
said I had to kick the tire to get it

1597
01:51:10,910 --> 01:51:09,000
off turning you know but every other

1598
01:51:12,410 --> 01:51:10,920
obstacle really I mean we just glided

1599
01:51:14,510 --> 01:51:12,420
right over it we went over the boaters

1600
01:51:16,490 --> 01:51:14,520
and we were shocked really and really

1601
01:51:19,430 --> 01:51:16,500
that's awesome and something too like in

1602
01:51:21,109 --> 01:51:19,440
our past octc teams side they're they

1603
01:51:22,970 --> 01:51:21,119
really struggled with the boulders and

1604
01:51:25,189 --> 01:51:22,980
that's something that we we nailed it

1605
01:51:27,350 --> 01:51:25,199
super easy for us and so in the task

1606
01:51:30,169 --> 01:51:27,360
Readiness reports that we do uh pre

1607
01:51:31,370 --> 01:51:30,179
coming to here one of our goals was to

1608
01:51:32,330 --> 01:51:31,380
go through the boulders and we went

1609
01:51:35,149 --> 01:51:32,340
through that a piece of cake without

1610
01:51:37,250 --> 01:51:35,159
tearing up our tires that is so awesome

1611
01:51:40,129 --> 01:51:37,260
well and that gets back to what you were

1612
01:51:41,450 --> 01:51:40,139
saying earlier about your tires and the

1613
01:51:43,189 --> 01:51:41,460
reason that you made them the way that

1614
01:51:46,250 --> 01:51:43,199
you did because you wanted to be able to

1615
01:51:47,689 --> 01:51:46,260
take those hard obstacles and sounds

1616
01:51:48,830 --> 01:51:47,699
like that was a really good design

1617
01:51:51,830 --> 01:51:48,840
choice

1618
01:51:54,470 --> 01:51:51,840
awesome okay so let's see if we're about

1619
01:51:58,129 --> 01:51:54,480
ready to go

1620
01:52:00,950 --> 01:51:58,139

01:56:06,470 --> 01:56:02,400
changed on the Rover from yesterday

1646
01:56:08,229 --> 01:56:06,480
we changed the direction and we even try

1647
01:56:11,950 --> 01:56:08,239
to get the

1648
01:56:15,950 --> 01:56:11,960
suspension back to the position we even

1649
01:56:18,890 --> 01:56:15,960
change the suspension plan to from the

1650
01:56:20,450 --> 01:56:18,900
original as yesterday and so uh can you

1651
01:56:21,649 --> 01:56:20,460
tell us a little bit how your pilot is

1652
01:56:24,050 --> 01:56:21,659
trained

1653
01:56:26,390 --> 01:56:24,060
uh they practiced they did cycling

1654
01:56:28,310 --> 01:56:26,400
walking jogging and now they are trying

1655
01:56:31,729 --> 01:56:28,320
to communicate and have a good

1656
01:56:34,070 --> 01:56:31,739
communication while Rover uh traversing

1657
01:56:35,750 --> 01:56:34,080
the path and do they have anything that

1658
01:56:37,310 --> 01:56:35,760
uh do they use a watch to keep up with

1659
01:56:40,250 --> 01:56:37,320
the time yeah they both have their

1660
01:56:43,070 --> 01:56:40,260
stopwatch on their hands and the neck so

1661
01:56:44,390 --> 01:56:43,080
so that they keep an eye on the time I

1662
01:56:45,530 --> 01:56:44,400
mean sometimes you gotta you gotta do

1663
01:56:47,510 --> 01:56:45,540
that and sometimes you just have to

1664
01:56:49,310 --> 01:56:47,520
bypass things to make sure there's a lot

1665
01:56:51,649 --> 01:56:49,320
of obstacles in a new course this year

1666
01:56:54,530 --> 01:56:51,659

1690
02:20:57,050 --> 02:20:54,840
I'm here with Ohio Northern University

1691
02:20:58,849 --> 02:20:57,060

engineering mechanical engineering you

1695
02:21:05,210 --> 02:21:03,960
know I've heard that a lot today do you

1696
02:21:06,889 --> 02:21:05,220
feel like that really helped with the

1697
02:21:08,690 --> 02:21:06,899
Rover in building everything absolutely

1698
02:21:10,250 --> 02:21:08,700
yeah all right and tell me a little bit

1699
02:21:13,429 --> 02:21:10,260

02:21:14,690 --> 02:21:13,439
you guys so um the course went all right

1701
02:21:16,790 --> 02:21:14,700
um we kind of got a baseline of what

1702
02:21:18,650 --> 02:21:16,800
obstacles we want to do and like looked

1703
02:21:20,929 --> 02:21:18,660
at all the tasks and everything

1704
02:21:22,370 --> 02:21:20,939
um and we cut it real close on time so I

1705
02:21:24,830 --> 02:21:22,380
think we have a better plan to make sure

1706
02:21:26,750 --> 02:21:24,840
we don't go over the time fantastic and

1707
02:21:28,670 --> 02:21:26,760

could get over and then match that to

1715
02:21:44,990 --> 02:21:42,600

exploration Rover challenge we're at the

1868
03:20:00,469 --> 03:19:57,960
starting line we have another team

1869
03:20:03,290 --> 03:20:00,479
University of Central Missouri you guys

1870
03:20:05,030 --> 03:20:03,300
are bringing in this big Rover uh folded

1871
03:20:06,650 --> 03:20:05,040

1872
03:20:08,269 --> 03:20:06,660
an inspection how did yesterday go

1873
03:20:09,530 --> 03:20:08,279
yesterday went really good we got to the

1874
03:20:11,150 --> 03:20:09,540
end of the course and we were able to

1875
03:20:13,010 --> 03:20:11,160
attempt everything we wanted to hey

1876
03:20:15,110 --> 03:20:13,020
getting to the end is half the battle to

1877
03:20:16,910 --> 03:20:15,120
learned a couple of things yesterday and

1878
03:20:18,290 --> 03:20:16,920
now you're going to kind of tackle some

1879
03:20:19,370 --> 03:20:18,300
more things today is that right yeah

1880
03:20:21,889 --> 03:20:19,380
we're going to attempt two more

1881
03:20:22,849 --> 03:20:21,899
obstacles today so fantastic and what is

1882
03:20:24,410 --> 03:20:22,859
your name and what are you studying in

1883
03:20:25,490 --> 03:20:24,420
college uh my name is Allison I'm

1884
03:20:27,769 --> 03:20:25,500
studying mechanical engineering

1885
03:20:29,809 --> 03:20:27,779
technology oh fantastic and what about

1886
03:20:31,429 --> 03:20:29,819
you I'm Seth I'm a mechanical

1887
03:20:33,349 --> 03:20:31,439
engineering also we have so many

1888
03:20:34,730 --> 03:20:33,359
mechanical engineers here today I think

1889
03:20:35,809 --> 03:20:34,740
that really helps in putting the Rover

1890
03:20:38,690 --> 03:20:35,819
together would you

1891
03:20:41,389 --> 03:20:38,700
guys train for this uh worked out bike

1892
03:20:43,690 --> 03:20:41,399
stationary bike do you have a good

1893
03:20:46,010 --> 03:20:43,700
playlist for that always

1894
03:20:47,269 --> 03:20:46,020
what kind of artists do you listen to go

1895
03:20:49,790 --> 03:20:47,279
ahead be honest

1896
03:20:53,030 --> 03:20:49,800
get more

1897
03:20:54,830 --> 03:20:53,040
uh so let's talk about these wheels

1898
03:20:56,570 --> 03:20:54,840
right here how did you guys decide on

1899
03:20:57,889 --> 03:20:56,580
this design

1900
03:20:59,690 --> 03:20:57,899
um yeah so actually we had a different

1901
03:21:01,490 --> 03:20:59,700
wheel design uh but last week we were

1902
03:21:04,010 --> 03:21:01,500
testing on Thursday before packing it up

1903
03:21:05,210 --> 03:21:04,020
and they broke so we found old wheels in

1904
03:21:06,710 --> 03:21:05,220
the storage shed and we modified

1905
03:21:10,010 --> 03:21:06,720
everything so we could bring these along

1906
03:21:13,130 --> 03:21:10,020
so oh that's so that is that is very

1907
03:21:15,110 --> 03:21:13,140
fortuitous and very uh Innovative for

1908
03:21:17,929 --> 03:21:15,120
you guys I'm glad you had that and able

1909
03:21:19,190 --> 03:21:17,939
to to make it work and it takes a long

1910
03:21:20,870 --> 03:21:19,200
time to kind of get here from Missouri

1911
03:21:22,670 --> 03:21:20,880
and you have a lot of sponsors or

1912
03:21:24,769 --> 03:21:22,680
anybody you'd like to think yeah all of

1913
03:21:26,150 --> 03:21:24,779
our teachers we had a teacher uh Dr

1914
03:21:27,469 --> 03:21:26,160
barabus Who actually came back to the

1915
03:21:29,030 --> 03:21:27,479
university to help us with the Machining

1916
03:21:30,590 --> 03:21:29,040
and stuff of everything so yeah it's

1917
03:21:32,450 --> 03:21:30,600
been four years since we've been here so

1918
03:21:35,030 --> 03:21:32,460
I'm guessing some of the past teammates

1919
03:21:37,010 --> 03:21:35,040
and team members have passed passed on

1920
03:21:39,710 --> 03:21:37,020
graduated and did they leave you any

1921
03:21:41,269 --> 03:21:39,720
inspiration for for coming back here I

1922
03:21:43,429 --> 03:21:41,279
actually got on the team quite like in

1923
03:21:44,990 --> 03:21:43,439
the spring so I know we had some

1924
03:21:46,490 --> 03:21:45,000
documentation and stuff but we basically

1925
03:21:48,250 --> 03:21:46,500
started from scratches as far as I know

1926
03:21:51,110 --> 03:21:48,260
of so

1927
03:21:52,309 --> 03:21:51,120
hey we're very happy for that well I

1928
03:21:54,290 --> 03:21:52,319

1929
03:21:57,170 --> 03:21:54,300

03:21:59,150 --> 03:21:57,180
team motto not really all right go guys

1931

1954
03:33:05,269 --> 03:33:01,380
Republic we have India we also have Peru

1955
03:33:06,910 --> 03:33:05,279
and Singapore and Mexico so lots of

1956
03:33:09,229 --> 03:33:06,920
representation internationally

1957
03:33:11,389 --> 03:33:09,239
absolutely and we are in the 29th year

1958
03:33:14,030 --> 03:33:11,399
of the competition can you tell us a

1959
03:33:16,729 --> 03:33:14,040
little bit more about the history oh yes

1960
03:33:20,809 --> 03:33:16,739
so uh this competition has had several

1961
03:33:25,210 --> 03:33:20,819
names it started in 1994 and it was

1962
03:33:28,010 --> 03:33:25,220
known as the uh great uh moon buggy race

1963
03:33:30,769 --> 03:33:28,020
and uh the name changed to Rover

1964
03:33:33,110 --> 03:33:30,779
Challenge and then most recently to the

1965
03:33:36,170 --> 03:33:33,120
human exploration Rover Challenge and

1966
03:33:37,849 --> 03:33:36,180
that acronym is a hurt right yeah you'll

1967
03:33:40,610 --> 03:33:37,859
hear us say herc a lot and that's that's

1968
03:33:43,130 --> 03:33:40,620
what that stands for but yeah we have 48

1969
03:33:44,929 --> 03:33:43,140
teams competing in Perth this year uh

1970
03:33:47,210 --> 03:33:44,939
we've had like I said we've had several

1971
03:33:49,610 --> 03:33:47,220
teams go we got eight rookie teams it's

1972
03:33:51,170 --> 03:33:49,620
really cool to see them but it's not a

1973
03:33:53,030 --> 03:33:51,180
disadvantage to be a rookie team because

1974
03:33:55,010 --> 03:33:53,040
this is a whole new course we're at yes

1975
03:33:56,630 --> 03:33:55,020
this is the aviation challenge at the

1976
03:33:59,750 --> 03:33:56,640
U.S space

1977
03:34:01,729 --> 03:33:59,760
this new course has 10 obstacles five

1978
03:34:03,290 --> 03:34:01,739
tasks that they can complete along the

1979
03:34:07,969 --> 03:34:03,300
way can you talk a little bit more about

1980
03:34:10,550 --> 03:34:07,979
uh the course oh yes so uh each team has

1981
03:34:12,349 --> 03:34:10,560
uh two pilots one male one female and

1982
03:34:16,610 --> 03:34:12,359
they have to compete complete the course

1983
03:34:19,130 --> 03:34:16,620
uh in eight minutes and uh the idea is

1984
03:34:21,290 --> 03:34:19,140
to accumulate points uh with each

1985
03:34:23,269 --> 03:34:21,300
obstacle and they also have the option

1986
03:34:26,570 --> 03:34:23,279
to bypass

1987
03:34:29,510 --> 03:34:26,580
uh another interesting uh fact about the

1988
03:34:33,290 --> 03:34:29,520
um competition is that their Rovers

1989
03:34:38,990 --> 03:34:33,300
actually uh replicate a payload rocket

1990
03:34:43,130 --> 03:34:41,090
that means a lot to us because we're

1991
03:34:48,469 --> 03:34:43,140
home of the uh payload operations

1992
03:34:48,479 --> 03:34:53,809
um

1993
03:34:57,530 --> 03:34:56,210
yes we'll also get into a little behind

1994
03:34:59,150 --> 03:34:57,540
the scenes look and we actually have

1995
03:35:00,349 --> 03:34:59,160
some of that

1996
03:35:02,330 --> 03:35:00,359
we're going to give you a behind the

1997
03:35:04,429 --> 03:35:02,340
scenes

1998
03:35:07,729 --> 03:35:04,439
with our colleague Lauren so we're going

1999
03:35:11,809 --> 03:35:09,530
thanks Alyssa yeah I'm here with

2000
03:35:13,729 --> 03:35:11,819
Escambia High School and please tell me

2001
03:35:14,870 --> 03:35:13,739
your name and does your Rover have a

2002
03:35:18,950 --> 03:35:14,880
name

2003
03:35:21,050 --> 03:35:18,960
team lead and our Rover we actually just

2004
03:35:23,750 --> 03:35:21,060
named it yesterday

2005
03:35:26,809 --> 03:35:23,760
um we were issued the number 187 and one

2006
03:35:29,210 --> 03:35:26,819
of the judges told us that 187 is the

2007
03:35:31,370 --> 03:35:29,220
police code for homicide so we've named

2008
03:35:32,750 --> 03:35:31,380
her homicide because y'all killed it

2009
03:35:35,450 --> 03:35:32,760
yesterday

2010
03:35:36,769 --> 03:35:35,460
we definitely killed it today awesome

2011
03:35:37,910 --> 03:35:36,779
okay so we're going to talk a little bit

2012
03:35:39,650 --> 03:35:37,920
more about the Rover let's start with

2013
03:35:41,870 --> 03:35:39,660
the wheels that's really uh kind of

2014
03:35:44,929 --> 03:35:41,880
everybody's favorite part because no

2015
03:35:46,130 --> 03:35:44,939
wheels are anywhere alike at all you

2016
03:35:48,290 --> 03:35:46,140
couldn't buy Wheels you couldn't have

2017
03:35:50,750 --> 03:35:48,300
normal air in the tire wheel so talk to

2018
03:35:52,790 --> 03:35:50,760
me about your wheel design okay so our

2019
03:35:55,790 --> 03:35:52,800
Wheels um we have been building up from

2020
03:35:57,530 --> 03:35:55,800
previous years but um the whole entire

2021
03:35:58,910 --> 03:35:57,540
center part is redesigned so of course

2022
03:36:00,530 --> 03:35:58,920
we have aluminum hubs that we

2023
03:36:03,410 --> 03:36:00,540
manufactured

2024
03:36:05,210 --> 03:36:03,420
um they're Hollow and then here these

2025
03:36:06,830 --> 03:36:05,220
spokes are made out of carbon fiber and

2026
03:36:08,450 --> 03:36:06,840
epoxy

2027
03:36:11,030 --> 03:36:08,460
um and they have wooden veneers in the

2028
03:36:13,309 --> 03:36:11,040
middle to lay down weight we just molded

2029
03:36:16,250 --> 03:36:13,319
them and shaped them and then a lot of

2030
03:36:17,809 --> 03:36:16,260
cutting down we have carbon fiber rims

2031
03:36:20,630 --> 03:36:17,819
and then a really cool part of the

2032
03:36:22,849 --> 03:36:20,640
wheels is actually the Treads so each

2033
03:36:27,469 --> 03:36:22,859
tread each wheel consists of three

2034
03:36:29,630 --> 03:36:27,479
Treads um pieces and the design was made

2035
03:36:33,110 --> 03:36:29,640
up in CAD by one of our students and

2036
03:36:33,889 --> 03:36:33,120
then afterwards um they put

2037
03:36:35,870 --> 03:36:33,899
um

2038
03:36:39,050 --> 03:36:35,880
silicone they made it into a silicone

2039
03:36:41,510 --> 03:36:39,060
mold and then poured polyurethane into

2040
03:36:43,190 --> 03:36:41,520
it and the um they're attached with

2041
03:36:45,590 --> 03:36:43,200
thick epoxy

2042
03:36:47,510 --> 03:36:45,600
but they have little

2043
03:36:49,130 --> 03:36:47,520
um carbon fiber like twine wrapping

2044
03:36:51,530 --> 03:36:49,140
around to really keep everything intact

2045
03:36:53,210 --> 03:36:51,540
because Treads flying off was a big

2046
03:36:55,309 --> 03:36:53,220
concern but we didn't have any problems

2047
03:36:57,229 --> 03:36:55,319
with it so and I hope that y'all can see

2048
03:36:58,790 --> 03:36:57,239
they are orange which is school colors

2049
03:37:02,389 --> 03:36:58,800
I'm assuming yes there's lots of orange

2050
03:37:04,910 --> 03:37:02,399
also orange and blue okay so next up

2051
03:37:06,530 --> 03:37:04,920
let's talk a little bit about the um the

2052
03:37:09,530 --> 03:37:06,540
petals and how you know you actually

2053
03:37:11,809 --> 03:37:09,540
have to get through the course okay so

2054
03:37:14,150 --> 03:37:11,819
um we took inspiration from Triathlon so

2055
03:37:16,309 --> 03:37:14,160
our petals are really small

2056
03:37:18,769 --> 03:37:16,319
but that's because we use Triathlon

2057
03:37:21,229 --> 03:37:18,779
shoes for our drivers to click in to

2058
03:37:23,210 --> 03:37:21,239
drive and one thing you'll notice is

2059
03:37:25,490 --> 03:37:23,220
that um the seat in the back is actually

2060
03:37:27,530 --> 03:37:25,500
facing backwards but the back driver

2061
03:37:29,929 --> 03:37:27,540
does not have to Pedal backwards inside

2062
03:37:32,929 --> 03:37:29,939
the chassis here we do have a gearbox

2063
03:37:35,030 --> 03:37:32,939
that reverses it so the back so you can

2064
03:37:36,290 --> 03:37:35,040
pedal forwards which produces more power

2065
03:37:38,150 --> 03:37:36,300
for going up the hills and over

2066
03:37:40,670 --> 03:37:38,160
obstacles

2067
03:37:42,229 --> 03:37:40,680
um so they gain that power but we don't

2068
03:37:43,849 --> 03:37:42,239
have to sacrifice anything it's more

2069
03:37:46,429 --> 03:37:43,859
space-saving and efficient that way

2070
03:37:47,990 --> 03:37:46,439
awesome okay and we you already kind of

2071
03:37:49,429 --> 03:37:48,000
mentioned the seats and the pilots so

2072
03:37:50,630 --> 03:37:49,439
talk to me a little bit about those I

2073
03:37:52,790 --> 03:37:50,640
mean you've got an eight minute course

2074
03:37:55,729 --> 03:37:52,800
but they need to be comfortable right oh

2075
03:37:57,229 --> 03:37:55,739
yes so on our first run yesterday our

2076
03:37:59,570 --> 03:37:57,239
back pilot our female pilot actually

2077
03:38:01,729 --> 03:37:59,580
made it aware to us that

2078
03:38:04,610 --> 03:38:01,739
um the back seat was a little rough to

2079
03:38:06,469 --> 03:38:04,620
ride on and they are older seats um we

2080
03:38:08,510 --> 03:38:06,479
did make these uh our school made these

2081
03:38:10,250 --> 03:38:08,520
a couple years back there the seat bases

2082
03:38:11,750 --> 03:38:10,260
are made out of carbon fiber and then it

2083
03:38:13,910 --> 03:38:11,760
has padding

2084
03:38:16,670 --> 03:38:13,920
um but we've put like pool noodles on

2085
03:38:17,809 --> 03:38:16,680
top just to kind of make it more

2086
03:38:20,269 --> 03:38:17,819
comfortable because at the end of the

2087
03:38:22,190 --> 03:38:20,279
day once we get to Huntsville that's the

2088
03:38:23,809 --> 03:38:22,200
whole purpose is to make things run as

2089
03:38:26,150 --> 03:38:23,819
smoothly for the drivers as we possibly

2090
03:38:28,010 --> 03:38:26,160
can resourceful I like the use of pool

2091
03:38:30,290 --> 03:38:28,020
noodles okay so next up we're going to

2092
03:38:32,090 --> 03:38:30,300
talk about the chassis because that's

2093
03:38:34,010 --> 03:38:32,100
kind of the whole frame the skeleton so

2094
03:38:36,530 --> 03:38:34,020
talk to me about your design there okay

2095
03:38:38,090 --> 03:38:36,540
so I'm actually at my school we divide

2096
03:38:40,250 --> 03:38:38,100
building the Rover to three teams we do

2097
03:38:43,250 --> 03:38:40,260
Wheels drive train and Chassis and I was

2098
03:38:44,330 --> 03:38:43,260
on the chassis team so our chassis um is

2099
03:38:47,090 --> 03:38:44,340
kind of unique because it's actually

2100
03:38:49,370 --> 03:38:47,100
made out of wood it's Hollow on the

2101
03:38:52,250 --> 03:38:49,380
inside it's made out of

2102
03:38:55,190 --> 03:38:52,260
um Cherry veneer and we layered seven

2103
03:38:56,809 --> 03:38:55,200
layers of that with the grains oriented

2104
03:38:58,670 --> 03:38:56,819
in different directions so it gives us

2105
03:39:01,309 --> 03:38:58,680
strength

2106
03:39:03,710 --> 03:39:01,319
um and then inside of it in order to

2107
03:39:05,570 --> 03:39:03,720
mount like um the drive system and the

2108
03:39:07,490 --> 03:39:05,580
drive shafts and the wheels and all of

2109
03:39:09,530 --> 03:39:07,500
that we have um a different type of wood

2110
03:39:11,809 --> 03:39:09,540
called catalogs and they're just it's a

2111
03:39:13,429 --> 03:39:11,819
very dense wood so it made it so that we

2112
03:39:14,990 --> 03:39:13,439
could drill everything into it without

2113
03:39:17,150 --> 03:39:15,000
anything shifting it's light because

2114
03:39:19,729 --> 03:39:17,160
it's Hollow but then everything's epoxy

2115
03:39:21,769 --> 03:39:19,739
together and it's really sturdy that is

2116
03:39:24,110 --> 03:39:21,779
awesome okay I also want to talk about

2117
03:39:25,790 --> 03:39:24,120
it looks like this is just the the seat

2118
03:39:26,690 --> 03:39:25,800
in the pedal so we may have to step up

2119
03:39:28,490 --> 03:39:26,700
there

2120
03:39:29,450 --> 03:39:28,500
um for the steering mechanism I want to

2121
03:39:31,910 --> 03:39:29,460
hear a little bit more about this

2122
03:39:35,030 --> 03:39:31,920
because again every Rover has its unique

2123
03:39:36,889 --> 03:39:35,040
way of steering their Rover so our

2124
03:39:38,389 --> 03:39:36,899
steering mechanism is brand new this

2125
03:39:40,309 --> 03:39:38,399
year um we cut out all the steel and

2126
03:39:42,110 --> 03:39:40,319
aluminum parts

2127
03:39:43,969 --> 03:39:42,120
um they're just hydraulic brakes we

2128
03:39:46,190 --> 03:39:43,979
didn't manufacture the brakes but it's

2129
03:39:48,530 --> 03:39:46,200
just um a telescoping shaft in the

2130
03:39:50,150 --> 03:39:48,540
middle so when we steer it

2131
03:39:53,570 --> 03:39:50,160
um there is a shaft that runs through

2132
03:39:55,670 --> 03:39:53,580
the center beam of the chassis and

2133
03:39:58,429 --> 03:39:55,680
um these arms right here will pull it in

2134
03:39:59,990 --> 03:39:58,439
either direction to shift the wheels

2135
03:40:02,510 --> 03:40:00,000
um sort of like a bicycle's front wheel

2136
03:40:04,250 --> 03:40:02,520
but since it goes all the way through it

2137
03:40:06,110 --> 03:40:04,260
shifts both and the steering is just in

2138
03:40:07,370 --> 03:40:06,120
the front there's no back steering yeah

2139
03:40:09,349 --> 03:40:07,380
and like

2140
03:40:10,670 --> 03:40:09,359
Drive kind of thing yeah it makes

2141
03:40:13,729 --> 03:40:10,680
perfect sense

2142
03:40:16,250 --> 03:40:13,739
um finally accessories that's the fun

2143
03:40:19,010 --> 03:40:16,260
part where's the creativity here okay so

2144
03:40:21,110 --> 03:40:19,020
uh an important accessory we have a

2145
03:40:22,190 --> 03:40:21,120
stopwatch on the back seat there orange

2146
03:40:24,110 --> 03:40:22,200
of course

2147
03:40:25,729 --> 03:40:24,120
um so that our driver can use it our

2148
03:40:26,990 --> 03:40:25,739
back driver can use it um because the

2149
03:40:29,030 --> 03:40:27,000
front driver has to be focused about

2150
03:40:31,070 --> 03:40:29,040
doing stuff but they can call time

2151
03:40:32,870 --> 03:40:31,080
because getting in in under eight

2152
03:40:34,969 --> 03:40:32,880
minutes even if we do all the obstacles

2153
03:40:36,290 --> 03:40:34,979
and everything it's it won't help us if

2154
03:40:39,110 --> 03:40:36,300
we don't get in over the eight minute

2155
03:40:40,969 --> 03:40:39,120
line so that was really important to

2156
03:40:43,250 --> 03:40:40,979
have that and then

2157
03:40:45,710 --> 03:40:43,260
um we have a clip here

2158
03:40:48,349 --> 03:40:45,720
um made out of Plexiglas that holds in

2159
03:40:50,990 --> 03:40:48,359
our tool so it's just a plexiglass sheet

2160
03:40:52,790 --> 03:40:51,000
and then some um metal arms that convex

2161
03:40:55,370 --> 03:40:52,800
out in order to hold it in place and

2162
03:40:57,410 --> 03:40:55,380
then the last one

2163
03:41:00,110 --> 03:40:57,420
that I really like um you can't really

2164
03:41:00,950 --> 03:41:00,120
see them but we have little

2165
03:41:05,510 --> 03:41:00,960
um

2166
03:41:07,790 --> 03:41:05,520
3D printed things to hold our

2167
03:41:09,769 --> 03:41:07,800
um syringes which is what we used for

2168
03:41:12,410 --> 03:41:09,779
the tasks to collect our liquid samples

2169
03:41:14,389 --> 03:41:12,420
so I actually designed these in CAD

2170
03:41:17,330 --> 03:41:14,399
myself I'm proud of them

2171
03:41:19,429 --> 03:41:17,340
um so there's just little 3D printed

2172
03:41:20,750 --> 03:41:19,439
just to hold the syringes but that was

2173
03:41:21,830 --> 03:41:20,760
really important

2174
03:41:23,870 --> 03:41:21,840
um and we place them under the back

2175
03:41:25,429 --> 03:41:23,880
driver because we really wanted to make

2176
03:41:27,290 --> 03:41:25,439
it so that they could do things while

2177
03:41:29,690 --> 03:41:27,300
we're running the course just to kind of

2178
03:41:32,150 --> 03:41:29,700
cut down a little bit more time

2179
03:41:33,710 --> 03:41:32,160
all right awesome thank you so much for

2180
03:41:35,690 --> 03:41:33,720
sharing your Rover and helping us learn

2181
03:41:37,969 --> 03:41:35,700
a little bit more about it

2182
03:41:39,950 --> 03:41:37,979
um really awesome stuff really creative

2183
03:41:40,790 --> 03:41:39,960
designs here so thank you again and

2184
03:41:42,969 --> 03:41:40,800
we'll send it back to the broadcast

2185
03:41:45,530 --> 03:41:42,979
booth

2186
03:41:47,330 --> 03:41:45,540
thanks Lauren we have some students here

2187
03:41:48,769 --> 03:41:47,340
to talk about their Rover we're super

2188
03:41:57,010 --> 03:41:48,779
excited to have them here can you tell

2189
03:41:57,020 --> 03:42:07,070
and I'm the sponsorships leader

2190
03:42:12,290 --> 03:42:10,010
all right so this is day two of the

2191
03:42:14,870 --> 03:42:12,300
challenge uh talk to us about what

2192
03:42:17,630 --> 03:42:14,880
you're feeling right now well we at

2193
03:42:19,969 --> 03:42:17,640
first we were actually kind of nervous

2194
03:42:22,309 --> 03:42:19,979
period of the team we're well we're

2195
03:42:23,929 --> 03:42:22,319
ready to go we're already rolled and I

2196
03:42:25,190 --> 03:42:23,939
think we're happy we have learned a lot

2197
03:42:27,050 --> 03:42:25,200
of things and we

2198
03:42:29,210 --> 03:42:27,060
and we've been together as a team so

2199
03:42:32,090 --> 03:42:29,220
that's the thing well speaking of spirit

2200
03:42:34,130 --> 03:42:32,100
I heard y'all singing earlier very well

2201
03:42:36,530 --> 03:42:34,140
could you tell us a little bit about uh

2202
03:42:38,290 --> 03:42:36,540
the song you were singing and maybe was

2203
03:42:41,330 --> 03:42:38,300
helping to boost him around

2204
03:42:43,849 --> 03:42:41,340
obviously well we love Mariachi well

2205
03:42:45,769 --> 03:42:43,859
that's something in Mexico very big also

2206
03:42:48,410 --> 03:42:45,779
some Banda so we're playing different

2207
03:42:50,510 --> 03:42:48,420
music generates and we're just yeah

2208
03:42:53,090 --> 03:42:50,520
hanging and having a good time

2209
03:42:55,969 --> 03:42:53,100
and we know that this is a challenge but

2210
03:42:57,170 --> 03:42:55,979
there are other competitors here uh what

2211
03:42:58,790 --> 03:42:57,180
are your thoughts on some of the other

2212
03:43:01,130 --> 03:42:58,800
teams have you had a chance to interact

2213
03:43:02,750 --> 03:43:01,140
with any of them tell us about that yeah

2214
03:43:05,269 --> 03:43:02,760
we've already had the chance to speak

2215
03:43:07,729 --> 03:43:05,279
with uh some Latin American uh teams

2216
03:43:09,590 --> 03:43:07,739
also some American teams so it's been a

2217
03:43:12,590 --> 03:43:09,600
great opportunity to know new things we

2218
03:43:14,809 --> 03:43:12,600
have uh watch new kind of Wheels some

2219
03:43:16,729 --> 03:43:14,819
parts of the river that we can improve

2220
03:43:17,929 --> 03:43:16,739
definitely on ours so it's been a great

2221
03:43:20,090 --> 03:43:17,939
experience

2222
03:43:21,830 --> 03:43:20,100
nice nice well can you just talk a

2223
03:43:24,530 --> 03:43:21,840
little bit about what you've learned

2224
03:43:26,750 --> 03:43:24,540
from yesterday and today like uh what's

2225
03:43:28,729 --> 03:43:26,760
your takeaway from this experience

2226
03:43:30,950 --> 03:43:28,739
I think the biggest takeaway from this

2227
03:43:31,969 --> 03:43:30,960
experience is that

2228
03:43:34,130 --> 03:43:31,979
that bad

2229
03:43:36,710 --> 03:43:34,140
we have we're always ready to learn new

2230
03:43:39,950 --> 03:43:36,720
things and that we don't know everything

2231
03:43:42,469 --> 03:43:39,960
even though we try to we are here to

2232
03:43:44,570 --> 03:43:42,479
learn to keep on going and well with a

2233
03:43:46,729 --> 03:43:44,580
great team our family the family that we

2234
03:43:48,950 --> 03:43:46,739
made that's

2235
03:43:50,929 --> 03:43:48,960
we're here to learn to keep on improving

2236
03:43:53,570 --> 03:43:50,939
for the next year and you mentioned

2237
03:43:55,250 --> 03:43:53,580
family you all have come a long way is

2238
03:43:57,590 --> 03:43:55,260
there anything that you want to say or

2239
03:44:00,410 --> 03:43:57,600
anyone you want to thank uh

2240
03:44:02,630 --> 03:44:00,420
that have this helped get you here well

2241
03:44:04,309 --> 03:44:02,640
obviously uh I speak for myself my

2242
03:44:06,710 --> 03:44:04,319
parents but I think the parents of all

2243
03:44:09,590 --> 03:44:06,720
of us are really proud of us the school

2244
03:44:12,229 --> 03:44:09,600
and always also the

2245
03:44:14,450 --> 03:44:12,239
okay the government that has helped us

2246
03:44:16,389 --> 03:44:14,460
so we're really happy for that we thank

2247
03:44:18,889 --> 03:44:16,399
you so much for answering our questions

2248
03:44:20,210 --> 03:44:18,899
yes and good luck to your team we can't

2249
03:44:21,469 --> 03:44:20,220
wait to see you guys hit the course

2250
03:44:23,389 --> 03:44:21,479
later on today

2251
03:44:24,710 --> 03:44:23,399
uh we are getting ready to have a team

2252
03:44:26,990 --> 03:44:24,720
at the start line they're getting ready

2253
03:44:29,809 --> 03:44:27,000
to go on the course so we are going to

2254
03:44:31,969 --> 03:44:29,819
pass it to our colleague Beth

2255
03:44:33,830 --> 03:44:31,979
thanks so much Alyssa I have Campbell

2256
03:44:35,929 --> 03:44:33,840
University here home of the fighting

2257
03:44:38,210 --> 03:44:35,939
camels you can see that they all have

2258
03:44:40,010 --> 03:44:38,220
fun little mechanical candles here on

2259
03:44:41,389 --> 03:44:40,020
the mechanical engineering people we

2260
03:44:43,610 --> 03:44:41,399
have our Pilots here what is your name

2261
03:44:45,590 --> 03:44:43,620
Greely Hibbard all right and what is

2262
03:44:47,210 --> 03:44:45,600
your name Josh tario all right and

2263
03:44:49,130 --> 03:44:47,220
you're both mechanical engineers working

2264
03:44:50,750 --> 03:44:49,140
on this Rover can you tell me a little

2265
03:44:51,769 --> 03:44:50,760
bit about the offset wheels that you

2266
03:44:55,010 --> 03:44:51,779
have here

2267
03:44:57,710 --> 03:44:55,020
so originally they were aligned but when

2268
03:44:59,570 --> 03:44:57,720
we had to Red redesign our chassis

2269
03:45:02,090 --> 03:44:59,580
um about a week ago we decided to

2270
03:45:03,170 --> 03:45:02,100
shorten uh shrink up the backside to cut

2271
03:45:05,750 --> 03:45:03,180
about

2272
03:45:07,190 --> 03:45:05,760
seven pounds off of it so that's why

2273
03:45:08,990 --> 03:45:07,200
they're offset

2274
03:45:10,610 --> 03:45:09,000
awesome and yesterday you said the

2275
03:45:11,510 --> 03:45:10,620
course went well kind of got a Baseline

2276
03:45:13,729 --> 03:45:11,520
and this time you're going to be

2277
03:45:15,170 --> 03:45:13,739
tackling more tasks is that right yep

2278
03:45:16,910 --> 03:45:15,180
yep we're planning on doing more science

2279
03:45:18,830 --> 03:45:16,920
this time I'm a little more confident

2280
03:45:20,090 --> 03:45:18,840
than we were first run all right you

2281
03:45:21,950 --> 03:45:20,100
guys it's gonna be great we're gonna

2282
03:45:25,550 --> 03:45:21,960
count you off here in a few minutes and

2283
03:45:27,769 --> 03:45:25,560
best of luck to you you so much

2284
03:45:29,150 --> 03:45:27,779
Alyssa

2285
03:45:31,190 --> 03:45:29,160
hi

2286
03:45:33,170 --> 03:45:31,200
we have some students here with us right

2287
03:45:34,790 --> 03:45:33,180
now from Campbell University can you

2288
03:45:37,010 --> 03:45:34,800
tell me your name and your role on the

2289
03:45:38,210 --> 03:45:37,020
team uh

2290
03:45:40,190 --> 03:45:38,220
yeah this year

2291
03:45:41,570 --> 03:45:40,200
and I'm Sam sandefer I'm the previous

2292
03:45:43,849 --> 03:45:41,580
Mission director and one of the

2293
03:45:45,530 --> 03:45:43,859
fabrication leads for this year

2294
03:45:47,690 --> 03:45:45,540
and we're so glad to have you with us

2295
03:45:50,269 --> 03:45:47,700
today talk to us about your strategy

2296
03:45:52,250 --> 03:45:50,279
this is day two uh

2297
03:45:53,510 --> 03:45:52,260
so we're implementing some new wheels on

2298
03:45:55,070 --> 03:45:53,520
this course today and that is going to

2299
03:45:56,510 --> 03:45:55,080
improve our strategy by taking on more

2300
03:45:58,130 --> 03:45:56,520
obstacles those uh taking out more

2301
03:45:59,450 --> 03:45:58,140
obstacles are going to allow us to

2302
03:46:00,769 --> 03:45:59,460
attend more science tasks where a

2303
03:46:01,550 --> 03:46:00,779
majority of points are being held so we

2304
03:46:03,290 --> 03:46:01,560
want to

2305
03:46:04,849 --> 03:46:03,300
for us and see

2306
03:46:06,530 --> 03:46:04,859
and see improve our Point scoring and

2307
03:46:10,250 --> 03:46:06,540
standing overall

2308
03:46:12,950 --> 03:46:10,260
and you participated yesterday what was

2309
03:46:14,630 --> 03:46:12,960
challenging about yesterday well we were

2310
03:46:16,429 --> 03:46:14,640
running on some backup Wheels we had a

2311
03:46:18,229 --> 03:46:16,439
critical failure in one of our uh our

2312
03:46:20,030 --> 03:46:18,239
primary Wheels have been working

2313
03:46:22,190 --> 03:46:20,040
hard on it was a very heartbreaking

2314
03:46:23,570 --> 03:46:22,200
testing day for that but we were able to

2315
03:46:24,889 --> 03:46:23,580
persevere and move through because we

2316
03:46:26,269 --> 03:46:24,899
were just taking on these technical

2317
03:46:28,070 --> 03:46:26,279
risks throughout the year and we knew

2318
03:46:30,349 --> 03:46:28,080
there was some risk to it but we were

2319
03:46:31,370 --> 03:46:30,359
able to circumvent that by adding all

2320
03:46:32,510 --> 03:46:31,380
those previous Wheels you can actually

2321
03:46:33,530 --> 03:46:32,520
see them on our River today they're

2322
03:46:36,530 --> 03:46:33,540
seeing

2323
03:46:37,910 --> 03:46:36,540
use those two backup Wheels but we're

2324
03:46:40,070 --> 03:46:37,920
reintroducing the carbon fiber wheel

2325
03:46:41,870 --> 03:46:40,080
we're very proud of these moving forward

2326
03:46:42,710 --> 03:46:41,880
we've handcrafted the carbon fiber

2327
03:46:43,370 --> 03:46:42,720
Springs that we're going to work really

2328
03:46:45,410 --> 03:46:43,380
well

2329
03:46:47,269 --> 03:46:45,420
we're just gonna see how it turns out

2330
03:46:50,269 --> 03:46:47,279
and what about the team tell us about

2331
03:46:53,389 --> 03:46:50,279
the morale of the team it was it's just

2332
03:46:55,250 --> 03:46:53,399
such a Resurgence after we saw oh man

2333
03:46:56,570 --> 03:46:55,260
our Wheels broke but then we were right

2334
03:47:00,410 --> 03:46:56,580
back to it that morning getting

2335
03:47:04,370 --> 03:47:02,150
yesterday and we're hoping to keep that

2336
03:47:06,769 --> 03:47:04,380
or move forward especially after covid

2337
03:47:08,510 --> 03:47:06,779
we're so happy to be here I've been in

2338
03:47:10,910 --> 03:47:08,520
this team for this is my fourth year now

2339
03:47:12,710 --> 03:47:10,920
this is my first time here and I'm ready

2340
03:47:14,630 --> 03:47:12,720
just to do as good as we possibly can

2341
03:47:16,490 --> 03:47:14,640
and just like try and bring home gold

2342
03:47:18,469 --> 03:47:16,500
but we'll see what we can do

2343
03:47:20,210 --> 03:47:18,479
speaking of that our competition has

2344
03:47:21,830 --> 03:47:20,220
been virtual in the past did you guys

2345
03:47:23,630 --> 03:47:21,840
compete in the virtual

2346
03:47:25,309 --> 03:47:23,640
well last year we actually placed third

2347
03:47:27,349 --> 03:47:25,319
overall

2348
03:47:29,570 --> 03:47:27,359
um I don't remember the other award off

2349
03:47:31,190 --> 03:47:29,580
the top of my head yeah we had a science

2350
03:47:33,050 --> 03:47:31,200
task award as well

2351
03:47:35,330 --> 03:47:33,060
um so hopefully we're gonna get pretty

2352
03:47:37,309 --> 03:47:35,340
close to that again but a Podium finish

2353
03:47:39,469 --> 03:47:37,319
would be amazing we're gonna do the best

2354
03:47:42,050 --> 03:47:39,479
we possibly can

2355
03:47:42,769 --> 03:47:42,060
great we're excited uh to see you on the

2356
03:47:44,630 --> 03:47:42,779
course

2357
03:47:46,610 --> 03:47:44,640
um you talked about this wheel a little

2358
03:47:48,650 --> 03:47:46,620
bit can you go into more depth about the

2359
03:47:50,809 --> 03:47:48,660
design of this oh yeah so these are

2360
03:47:53,389 --> 03:47:50,819
handcrafted carbon fiber Springs we take

2361
03:47:55,550 --> 03:47:53,399
layers of carbon fiber fiberglass mix

2362
03:47:58,190 --> 03:47:55,560
them with epoxy layer them put them in a

2363
03:47:59,630 --> 03:47:58,200
vacuum chamber heat them at a at a

2364
03:48:02,750 --> 03:47:59,640
temperature oven until they get this

2365
03:48:04,550 --> 03:48:02,760
nice form to them we do that about

2366
03:48:06,290 --> 03:48:04,560
our Wheels placed into such a specific

2367
03:48:08,929 --> 03:48:06,300
shave by running several simulations

2368
03:48:11,870 --> 03:48:08,939
hitting just all of it just right and

2369
03:48:14,090 --> 03:48:11,880
then the tread is made of TPU which is

2370
03:48:18,290 --> 03:48:14,100
3D printed so each one of these is made

2371
03:48:23,870 --> 03:48:20,929
we've been printing for a long time

2372
03:48:27,170 --> 03:48:23,880
very nice well what about uh your

2373
03:48:28,429 --> 03:48:27,180
t-shirts I noticed uh very very Vivid

2374
03:48:30,290 --> 03:48:28,439
and bright could you tell us a little

2375
03:48:32,330 --> 03:48:30,300
bit about the design of those or maybe

2376
03:48:34,910 --> 03:48:32,340
the symbolism

2377
03:48:36,650 --> 03:48:34,920
our Campbell University is the fighting

2378
03:48:38,570 --> 03:48:36,660
camels so we wanted to incorporate that

2379
03:48:40,070 --> 03:48:38,580
as large as possible on our t-shirts we

2380
03:48:42,050 --> 03:48:40,080
also want to incorporate the engineering

2381
03:48:43,729 --> 03:48:42,060
aspect so that of course was all the

2382
03:48:47,809 --> 03:48:43,739
mechanical features so we knew we were

2383
03:48:51,590 --> 03:48:50,090
t-shirt this nice custom bright orange

2384
03:48:52,969 --> 03:48:51,600
that sticks out with all the intricate

2385
03:48:54,950 --> 03:48:52,979
details

2386
03:48:56,690 --> 03:48:54,960
on the back we have all of our sponsors

2387
03:48:57,830 --> 03:48:56,700
as well that's right shout out to all

2388
03:49:01,849 --> 03:48:57,840
our sponsors who were able to help us

2389
03:49:07,070 --> 03:49:04,910
one we have a huge line of Rovers

2390
03:49:08,210 --> 03:49:07,080
getting ready lining up here for to get

2391
03:49:11,090 --> 03:49:08,220
to the start line and you can probably

2392
03:49:13,010 --> 03:49:11,100
hear them getting excited so thank you

2393
03:49:14,690 --> 03:49:13,020
so much for joining us we loved hearing

2394
03:49:17,090 --> 03:49:14,700
about this wheel we loved hearing about

2395
03:49:19,070 --> 03:49:17,100
your strategy for today

2396
03:49:20,330 --> 03:49:19,080
um wow we couldn't thank you enough that

2397
03:49:22,309 --> 03:49:20,340
was great

um so we do actually have a team up at

2399
03:49:26,030 --> 03:49:24,239
the start line right now and so I'm

2400
03:49:28,490 --> 03:49:26,040
gonna go ahead and pass it to our

2401
03:49:30,889 --> 03:49:28,500

is that right right like yesterday I

2411
03:49:48,830 --> 03:49:46,859
just might not difficult to difficulty

2412
03:49:50,630 --> 03:49:48,840
with the wheel and I think we fixed it

2413
03:49:52,190 --> 03:49:50,640
today so I think everything should go

2414
03:49:54,170 --> 03:49:52,200
well all right and we'll talk to our

2415
03:49:56,210 --> 03:49:54,180

right now can you tell us your name and

2432
03:50:38,870 --> 03:50:38,090
mois and I'm the design lead for this

2433

team

2434
03:50:43,550 --> 03:50:41,100

that's in southern part of India and uh

2438
03:50:54,530 --> 03:50:52,319
yeah we are about a team of 30 and we

2439
03:50:57,349 --> 03:50:54,540
have 16 members here along with our one

2440
03:51:02,150 --> 03:50:57,359
faculty advisor and yeah

2441
03:51:05,510 --> 03:51:02,160
um I am the stem lead uh for the team uh

2442
03:51:09,290 --> 03:51:05,520
maybe to brief on um we have covered

2443
03:51:11,389 --> 03:51:09,300
about 5 000 students on the stem and we

2444
03:51:13,429 --> 03:51:11,399
have covered about a lot of government

2445
03:51:16,370 --> 03:51:13,439
school students like below poverty line

2446
03:51:20,030 --> 03:51:16,380
education and Rural education and

2447
03:51:24,170 --> 03:51:20,040
development yeah so

2448
03:51:25,969 --> 03:51:24,180
to talk about uh maybe some unique

2449
03:51:26,630 --> 03:51:25,979
mechanisms that you used if you would go

2450
03:51:28,250 --> 03:51:26,640
on

2451
03:51:30,050 --> 03:51:28,260
yeah talk about your Rover a little bit

2452
03:51:32,530 --> 03:51:30,060
while you're getting on the course yeah

2453
03:51:35,090 --> 03:51:32,540
it's been real fun designing the Rover

2454
03:51:37,309 --> 03:51:35,100
we had several references from here and

2455
03:51:39,290 --> 03:51:37,319
there from it's a it's from motorcycles

2456
03:51:41,210 --> 03:51:39,300
and even automobiles you take the

2457
03:51:42,889 --> 03:51:41,220
suspension and stuff it's a lot of

2458
03:51:44,330 --> 03:51:42,899
things

2459
03:51:44,929 --> 03:51:44,340
so yeah

2460
03:51:46,969 --> 03:51:44,939
um

2461
03:51:49,070 --> 03:51:46,979
if you look at the course right now you

2462
03:51:51,229 --> 03:51:49,080
see that the

2463
03:51:52,370 --> 03:51:51,239
my question happened or like he designed

2464
03:51:53,990 --> 03:51:52,380
it um

2465
03:51:56,150 --> 03:51:54,000
you know with all the references we had

2466
03:51:58,429 --> 03:51:56,160
before and uh yeah it's been real fun

2467
03:52:03,110 --> 03:51:58,439
yeah the wheels are made up of carbon

2468
03:52:06,650 --> 03:52:03,120
fiber and we've used chromoly 4130 for

2469
03:52:09,349 --> 03:52:06,660
the chases in the frame uh we had a

2470
03:52:11,710 --> 03:52:09,359
change of Design After Orr the

2471
03:52:14,870 --> 03:52:11,720
operational review and the design review

2472
03:52:17,450 --> 03:52:14,880
and uh as we move on

2473
03:52:21,050 --> 03:52:17,460
um yeah we have face back facing like

2474
03:52:23,870 --> 03:52:21,060
the seat Arrangement and yes let's wait

2475
03:52:25,969 --> 03:52:23,880
maybe what do you think has been uh your

2476
03:52:27,590 --> 03:52:25,979
biggest challenge uh since uh since been

2477
03:52:28,790 --> 03:52:27,600
participating this is day two and one of

2478
03:52:32,750 --> 03:52:28,800
you

2479
03:52:35,090 --> 03:52:32,760
uh the backseat challenges maybe the

2480
03:52:36,889 --> 03:52:35,100
organizing the team uh We've after

2481
03:52:39,170 --> 03:52:36,899
speaking to a lot of teams we've got to

2482
03:52:42,050 --> 03:52:39,180
know there's a different committees for

2483
03:52:44,990 --> 03:52:42,060
uh sponsorship and or other departments

2484
03:52:47,690 --> 03:52:45,000
except the technical department but here

2485
03:52:51,290 --> 03:52:47,700
we everybody worked in every department

2486
03:52:52,969 --> 03:52:51,300
and which had a difficulty in piling up

2487
03:52:56,510 --> 03:52:52,979
the work and completing it you know

2488
03:52:58,969 --> 03:52:56,520
where a short duration of time and on

2489
03:53:01,490 --> 03:52:58,979
the field uh it was a very good and fun

2490
03:53:04,729 --> 03:53:01,500
experience for the pilots to ride over

2491
03:53:07,910 --> 03:53:04,739
the course yesterday and I think they're

2492
03:53:10,250 --> 03:53:07,920
pretty smooth over here now and they're

2493
03:53:12,950 --> 03:53:10,260
able to move because they had a very

2494
03:53:16,190 --> 03:53:12,960
good experience yesterday and yeah we

2495
03:53:18,170 --> 03:53:16,200
are right here the course it looks like

2496
03:53:19,969 --> 03:53:18,180
your team has bypassed that incline can

2497
03:53:21,830 --> 03:53:19,979
you

2498
03:53:22,790 --> 03:53:21,840
tackle them

2499
03:53:25,849 --> 03:53:22,800
today

2500
03:53:27,710 --> 03:53:25,859
um we are focusing more on the task task

2501
03:53:30,830 --> 03:53:27,720
tool completion because that has more

2502
03:53:32,929 --> 03:53:30,840
points and if we do that we can have a

2503
03:53:36,349 --> 03:53:32,939
really good

2504
03:53:40,250 --> 03:53:36,359
list so that's it there and uh yeah

2505
03:53:42,769 --> 03:53:40,260
yeah also uh based on the Pilot's

2506
03:53:44,570 --> 03:53:42,779
capacity of exerting force and the speed

2507
03:53:46,849 --> 03:53:44,580
along with the Rover which we have

2508
03:53:49,309 --> 03:53:46,859
designed we have skipped some obstacles

2509
03:53:51,830 --> 03:53:49,319
but try to attempt at the tasks embedded

2510
03:53:54,050 --> 03:53:51,840
within the obstacle so that as he said

2511
03:53:56,570 --> 03:53:54,060
we have designed a multi-function task

2512
03:53:59,330 --> 03:53:56,580
tool which has a lot of capabilities on

2513
03:54:02,210 --> 03:53:59,340
a whole and yes and we have also trained

2514
03:54:04,849 --> 03:54:02,220
the drivers on how to operate it

2515
03:54:07,370 --> 03:54:04,859
so that we can complete the tasks in the

2516
03:54:09,229 --> 03:54:07,380
given time and score more we appreciate

2517
03:54:12,290 --> 03:54:09,239
you talking with us and we wish you and

2518
03:54:14,570 --> 03:54:12,300
your team uh the best of luck yes why

2519
03:54:18,110 --> 03:54:16,309

did you guys do to fix that yesterday so

2544
03:55:12,110 --> 03:55:10,260
our drive shaft actually broke off

2545
03:55:14,630 --> 03:55:12,120
before we started so we had to get it on

2546
03:55:15,769 --> 03:55:14,640
really tight in there and then uh once

2547
03:55:17,450 --> 03:55:15,779
we were putting through it broke off

2548
03:55:19,010 --> 03:55:17,460
again and we had no time to fix it at

2549
03:55:20,510 --> 03:55:19,020
that point so we had to pick it up and

2550
03:55:23,030 --> 03:55:20,520
finish under eight minutes so we pushed

2551
03:55:24,769 --> 03:55:23,040
it but once we got back to the pit we uh

2552
03:55:26,269 --> 03:55:24,779
we welded this part right here we make

2553
03:55:28,550 --> 03:55:26,279
sure that it was nice and tight whenever

2554
03:55:30,229 --> 03:55:28,560
we put it back on and hopefully now if

2555
03:55:34,070 --> 03:55:30,239
it breaks off I have my tools for me to

2556
03:55:36,290 --> 03:55:34,080
fix it so fantastic and uh communication

2557
03:55:37,790 --> 03:55:36,300

2558
03:55:39,110 --> 03:55:37,800
reasons is that you guys are just kind

03:56:39,550 --> 03:56:37,380
wheels we use some material it's called

2584
03:56:43,309 --> 03:56:39,560
P PBR

2585
03:56:45,650 --> 03:56:43,319
yes PBR and the transmission we use

2586
03:56:46,750 --> 03:56:45,660
opinions to the transmission also we

2587
03:56:49,790 --> 03:56:46,760
have to

2588
03:56:52,610 --> 03:56:49,800
put our Rover according to the people

2589
03:56:55,610 --> 03:56:52,620
with hitting apartment for example we

2590
03:56:58,250 --> 03:56:55,620
put mirrors in inside because he

2591
03:57:00,650 --> 03:56:58,260
communicated in that way when they pilot

2592
03:57:02,330 --> 03:57:00,660
in front

2593
03:57:04,550 --> 03:57:02,340
and what are some of the challenges that

2594
03:57:05,750 --> 03:57:04,560
you've faced um with having to do

2595
03:57:10,250 --> 03:57:05,760
something like that

2596
03:57:12,050 --> 03:57:10,260
okay so our team is composed by 26

2597
03:57:15,769 --> 03:57:12,060
people

2598
03:57:19,010 --> 03:57:15,779
after only 20 of them came here because

2599
03:57:22,010 --> 03:57:19,020
their Visa Visa appointment what's

2600
03:57:25,370 --> 03:57:22,020
postponing so we see it's representing

2601
03:57:27,830 --> 03:57:25,380
here and to us it's so important that we

2602
03:57:30,650 --> 03:57:27,840
can have a person with hearing apartment

2603
03:57:33,170 --> 03:57:30,660
because they have the opportunity to

2604
03:57:36,410 --> 03:57:33,180
participate in this kind of event

2605
03:57:40,010 --> 03:57:36,420
International and important events so

2606
03:57:44,030 --> 03:57:40,020
that's our proposed to and can you tell

2607
03:57:50,090 --> 03:57:48,170
uh for example our pilot and he is the

2608
03:57:54,110 --> 03:57:50,100
second one and the first one is here

2609
03:57:57,710 --> 03:57:54,120
Saul and she she communicate with him

2610
03:57:59,990 --> 03:57:57,720
with the mirrors and she tried to pay

2611
03:58:01,969 --> 03:58:00,000
attention to God and there is a way to

2612
03:58:03,590 --> 03:58:01,979
communicate them and I'd like to know

2613
03:58:04,729 --> 03:58:03,600

2614
03:58:20,330 --> 03:58:04,739

2615
03:58:32,929 --> 03:58:22,040
communication

2616
03:58:32,939 --> 03:58:44,809
is

2617
03:58:48,229 --> 03:58:46,849

2618
03:58:51,650 --> 03:58:48,239

to pay attention all of the time to the

2621
03:58:57,050 --> 03:58:55,620

2835
04:20:57,530 --> 04:20:55,260
lunar ice that's a huge thing that we're

2836
04:20:59,510 --> 04:20:57,540
we're wanting to research to really get

2837
04:21:01,370 --> 04:20:59,520

so we reinforce our pedal assemblies and

2879
04:22:41,570 --> 04:22:39,600

04:23:27,710 --> 04:23:26,040
what was your role in the team uh yeah

2902
04:23:28,670 --> 04:23:27,720
my name is Austin Hensley and I was the

2903
04:23:30,650 --> 04:23:28,680
team lead

2904
04:23:33,170 --> 04:23:30,660
my name is Jacob Clark and I was the

2905
04:23:35,929 --> 04:23:33,180
team lead fabricator

2906
04:23:37,849 --> 04:23:35,939
all right so talk to us about the

2907
04:23:42,229 --> 04:23:37,859
strategy that your team is using today

2908
04:23:46,610 --> 04:23:42,239
yes so we uh we know that

2909
04:23:48,830 --> 04:23:46,620
top five we need about 15 points so we

2910
04:23:51,710 --> 04:23:48,840
are gonna hit the first uh first

2911
04:23:55,090 --> 04:23:51,720
obstacle and the first task and then

2912
04:23:57,950 --> 04:23:55,100
kind of make our way around the course

2913
04:23:59,809 --> 04:23:57,960
just to make sure we get the under eight

2914
04:24:02,330 --> 04:23:59,819
minutes

2915
04:24:04,490 --> 04:24:02,340
and uh this is day two so would you tell

2916
04:24:06,410 --> 04:24:04,500
us uh what are some of the challenges

2917
04:24:08,570 --> 04:24:06,420
that you experienced yesterday and what

2918
04:24:12,110 --> 04:24:08,580
you're hoping to do differently uh to

2919
04:24:15,229 --> 04:24:12,120
overcome those challenges yeah so uh our

2920
04:24:16,030 --> 04:24:15,239
big issue yesterday was

2921
04:24:17,870 --> 04:24:16,040
um

2922
04:24:20,389 --> 04:24:17,880
uh the

2923
04:24:23,929 --> 04:24:20,399
Freewheel Hub on the rear pedals broke

2924
04:24:26,450 --> 04:24:23,939
so we had no power in the back and kind

2925
04:24:27,290 --> 04:24:26,460
of our biggest issue was our seats were

2926
04:24:28,570 --> 04:24:27,300
moving

2927
04:24:31,670 --> 04:24:28,580
so

2928
04:24:33,590 --> 04:24:31,680
they it was difficult for the pilots to

2929
04:24:35,330 --> 04:24:33,600
get a lot of power

2930
04:24:36,590 --> 04:24:35,340
it looks like your team is bypassing an

2931
04:24:39,469 --> 04:24:36,600
obstacle now can you walk us through

2932
04:24:41,510 --> 04:24:39,479
what is happening yes

2933
04:24:43,790 --> 04:24:41,520
yes our goal here was we we know we need

2934
04:24:44,689 --> 04:24:43,800
to get to in eight minutes

2935
04:24:46,490 --> 04:24:44,699
so

2936
04:24:48,530 --> 04:24:46,500
uh we we figured out a lot of wasted

2937
04:24:51,769 --> 04:24:48,540
time happened getting on and off so if

2938
04:24:54,590 --> 04:24:51,779
we could limit that and just move the

2939
04:24:56,030 --> 04:24:54,600
vehicle to where our next task is there

2940
04:24:57,950 --> 04:24:56,040
was no reason for us to Pedal through

2941
04:24:59,689 --> 04:24:57,960
the rest of the course

2942
04:25:02,090 --> 04:24:59,699
and speaking of those tests those are

2943
04:25:03,349 --> 04:25:02,100
the liquid sample retrievals um can you

2944
04:25:06,769 --> 04:25:03,359
talk us through the design of that tool

2945
04:25:08,630 --> 04:25:06,779
that you made yeah okay all right so our

2946
04:25:09,950 --> 04:25:08,640
test tool is actually a 3D printed test

2947
04:25:12,950 --> 04:25:09,960
tool

2948
04:25:16,429 --> 04:25:12,960
um the test that we intended to do were

2949
04:25:18,889 --> 04:25:16,439
the task embedded in the Ravine obstacle

2950
04:25:21,229 --> 04:25:18,899
and then the um

2951
04:25:24,530 --> 04:25:21,239
the 15 pound lid as well that you have

2952
04:25:27,469 --> 04:25:24,540
to keep open and extract the sample size

2953
04:25:28,070 --> 04:25:27,479
from while you're holding the lid open

2954
04:25:31,550 --> 04:25:28,080
um

2955
04:25:35,450 --> 04:25:31,560
so our design is basically a extendable

2956
04:25:38,510 --> 04:25:35,460
hook with a siphon that we'll be able to

2957
04:25:40,670 --> 04:25:38,520
put in and in the tubes and pump the

2958
04:25:41,990 --> 04:25:40,680
water out into containers that are

2959
04:25:45,710 --> 04:25:42,000
mounted

2960
04:25:47,870 --> 04:25:45,720
um and in between the rear operators

2961
04:25:50,750 --> 04:25:47,880
legs

2962
04:25:52,490 --> 04:25:50,760
talk to us about the morale amongst your

2963
04:25:55,070 --> 04:25:52,500
team like what are y'all feeling like

2964
04:25:57,050 --> 04:25:55,080
how has it been this is day two uh tell

2965
04:26:01,429 --> 04:25:57,060
us a little bit about that

2966
04:26:05,330 --> 04:26:03,410
you know we had to fix a lot today to

2967
04:26:06,769 --> 04:26:05,340
make sure that we were ready

2968
04:26:10,429 --> 04:26:06,779
um we're pretty happy I would say

2969
04:26:13,370 --> 04:26:10,439
overall with the Rover now it works much

2970
04:26:14,809 --> 04:26:13,380
better right now than it did

2971
04:26:17,330 --> 04:26:14,819
um right before we started yesterday

2972
04:26:18,649 --> 04:26:17,340
morale was a little low going into the

2973
04:26:20,990 --> 04:26:18,659
first Excursion

2974
04:26:22,790 --> 04:26:21,000
uh we were all pretty nervous and it

2975
04:26:24,410 --> 04:26:22,800
didn't perform as well as we were hoping

2976
04:26:25,969 --> 04:26:24,420
it would

2977
04:26:28,429 --> 04:26:25,979
all right well is there anyone you want

2978
04:26:36,349 --> 04:26:29,990
I'm trying to University in our DET

2979
04:26:40,189 --> 04:26:38,269
and everyone kind of got us here

2980
04:26:41,450 --> 04:26:40,199
amazing thank you so much it's so great

2981
04:26:43,729 --> 04:26:41,460
to hear your story to learn more about

2982
04:26:46,010 --> 04:26:43,739
your Rovers uh your Rover I want you

2983
04:26:47,450 --> 04:26:46,020
guys to go cheer on your team um see

2984
04:26:50,630 --> 04:26:47,460
them do those tasks I'm excited to see

2985
04:26:55,130 --> 04:26:52,670
we are going to talk a little bit more

2986
04:26:56,510 --> 04:26:55,140
about the safety requirements and kind

2987
04:26:58,910 --> 04:26:56,520
of the inspections that you guys have to

2988
04:27:00,649 --> 04:26:58,920
go through before you get on the course

2989
04:27:03,110 --> 04:27:00,659
I mean there's a lot to do before you

2990
04:27:04,370 --> 04:27:03,120
even step foot towards the start line so

2991
04:27:06,889 --> 04:27:04,380
we are going to pass to our colleague

2992
04:27:09,349 --> 04:27:06,899
Lauren to talk more about that Lauren

2993
04:27:11,149 --> 04:27:09,359
that's right Alyssa so although you know

2994
04:27:12,710 --> 04:27:11,159
you go through the course it does not

2995
04:27:13,969 --> 04:27:12,720
start there and with me to help kind of

2996
04:27:16,130 --> 04:27:13,979
explain

2997
04:27:18,410 --> 04:27:16,140
um what all the pre-requirements are I

2998
04:27:20,090 --> 04:27:18,420
have Alex with Texas Tech University

2999
04:27:22,309 --> 04:27:20,100
um tell me your major I'm mechanical

3000
04:27:24,649 --> 04:27:22,319
engineering okay and first talk to me a

3001
04:27:26,510 --> 04:27:24,659
little bit about all the Rovers have to

3002
04:27:28,130 --> 04:27:26,520
be able to fold into a five by five by

3003
04:27:31,070 --> 04:27:28,140
five cube talk to me about the

3004
04:27:32,570 --> 04:27:31,080
importance of why you even need that I

3005
04:27:34,370 --> 04:27:32,580
mean when you're trying to get something

3006
04:27:36,710 --> 04:27:34,380
to another planet it's going to have to

3007
04:27:38,269 --> 04:27:36,720
fit into a you know a space requirement

3008
04:27:39,889 --> 04:27:38,279
so when it folds you don't want to take

3009
04:27:42,110 --> 04:27:39,899
as much space as possible you want as

3010
04:27:43,969 --> 04:27:42,120
little space as possible and how did

3011
04:27:45,950 --> 04:27:43,979
Texas Tech get their Rover designed for

3012
04:27:47,570 --> 04:27:45,960
that folding mechanism so we have two

3013
04:27:49,429 --> 04:27:47,580
triangle plates that help distribute a

3014
04:27:51,349 --> 04:27:49,439
load when unfolded but we also welded a

3015
04:27:53,210 --> 04:27:51,359
hinge on the outs on the bottom of it so

3016
04:27:54,769 --> 04:27:53,220
it folds and folds upwards so and then

3017
04:27:56,510 --> 04:27:54,779
we also have nesting wheels so it can

3018
04:27:57,649 --> 04:27:56,520
fold as much as possible before it

3019
04:27:59,630 --> 04:27:57,659
starts hitting

3020
04:28:01,189 --> 04:27:59,640
um the opposite side now another thing

3021
04:28:03,290 --> 04:28:01,199
that's important on the spaceship is

3022
04:28:05,570 --> 04:28:03,300
weight and I know that there are a lot

3023
04:28:08,330 --> 04:28:05,580
of teens out here that are trying to go

3024
04:28:11,389 --> 04:28:08,340
for a lighter weight Rover that may not

3025
04:28:12,710 --> 04:28:11,399
have been y'all's uh tactic there so

3026
04:28:14,570 --> 04:28:12,720
explain to me

3027
04:28:17,030 --> 04:28:14,580
um a little bit about what your design

3028
04:28:18,110 --> 04:28:17,040
how sturdy it was and how much it

3029
04:28:19,849 --> 04:28:18,120
weighed if you know that off the top of

3030
04:28:22,490 --> 04:28:19,859
your head so we definitely did go for a

3031
04:28:26,030 --> 04:28:22,500
sturdier uh design for it we ended up

3032
04:28:28,309 --> 04:28:26,040
weighing in about 367 pounds definitely

3033
04:28:31,610 --> 04:28:28,319
one of the heavier ones here but

3034
04:28:33,950 --> 04:28:31,620
um yeah we went with a higher factor of

3035
04:28:35,990 --> 04:28:33,960
safety we were kind of worried that if

3036
04:28:37,429 --> 04:28:36,000
it wasn't as our Factory safety wasn't

3037
04:28:39,469 --> 04:28:37,439
as high it would kind of break on the

3038
04:28:41,330 --> 04:28:39,479
course so we haven't had any issues but

3039
04:28:43,550 --> 04:28:41,340
breaking but we definitely were a little

3040
04:28:45,229 --> 04:28:43,560
heavy sure now speaking of some of those

3041
04:28:46,910 --> 04:28:45,239
safety requirements walk me through some

3042
04:28:49,070 --> 04:28:46,920
of the ones that you know were required

3043
04:28:52,130 --> 04:28:51,050
and so we seat belts are obviously

3044
04:28:55,189 --> 04:28:52,140
required

3045
04:28:57,349 --> 04:28:55,199
um we had went with the three-point um

3046
04:28:58,309 --> 04:28:57,359
seat belt restraint so that was one of

3047
04:29:00,710 --> 04:28:58,319
the ones they were like it was highly

3048
04:29:02,510 --> 04:29:00,720
recommended but we went with it and then

3049
04:29:03,889 --> 04:29:02,520
also our wheels are a little bit further

3050
04:29:06,590 --> 04:29:03,899
out so we had no chance of hitting the

3051
04:29:08,149 --> 04:29:06,600
moving Parts as well so and then to make

3052
04:29:10,670 --> 04:29:08,159
sure during the course that it doesn't

3053
04:29:12,590 --> 04:29:10,680
unfold we also added a latching

3054
04:29:20,330 --> 04:29:12,600
mechanism to prevent it from unfolding

3055
04:29:23,630 --> 04:29:21,950
um we want to thank Lyndon Bissell for

3056
04:29:25,670 --> 04:29:23,640
sponsoring us and then we also want to

3057
04:29:26,870 --> 04:29:25,680
thank the Texas Tech Machine shop for

3058
04:29:29,570 --> 04:29:26,880
being there and supporting us through

3059
04:29:32,389 --> 04:29:29,580
this whole competition and tine art

3060
04:29:35,030 --> 04:29:32,399
medals for their donations as well

3061
04:29:37,070 --> 04:29:35,040
and I know that you all see behind me

3062
04:29:38,510 --> 04:29:37,080
this wonderful pineapple and I've

3063
04:29:40,729 --> 04:29:38,520
already asked but I can't wait to share

3064
04:29:41,330 --> 04:29:40,739
what does the pineapple stand for

3065
04:29:43,790 --> 04:29:41,340
um

3066
04:29:45,889 --> 04:29:43,800
oh a very cool pineapple currently as of

3067
04:29:47,990 --> 04:29:45,899
right now it is our mascot I'm kind of

3068
04:29:49,969 --> 04:29:48,000
here to cheer us on and we also we had a

3069
04:29:51,410 --> 04:29:49,979
watermelon yesterday and today which was

3070
04:29:53,030 --> 04:29:51,420
really good for some electrolyte

3071
04:29:54,349 --> 04:29:53,040
replenishing so we just have we haven't

3072
04:29:57,229 --> 04:29:54,359
cut it yet so we're kind of carrying it

3073
04:29:58,070 --> 04:29:57,239
around like a little pet right now all

3074
04:30:00,950 --> 04:29:58,080
right

3075
04:30:04,729 --> 04:30:02,809
well thank you all so much for talking

3076
04:30:06,050 --> 04:30:04,739
to me a little bit about that and we're

3077
04:30:07,790 --> 04:30:06,060
wishing you the best with the luck for

3078
04:30:10,130 --> 04:30:07,800
the rest of the competition sending it

3079
04:30:12,349 --> 04:30:10,140
back to the broadcast booth

3080
04:30:13,729 --> 04:30:12,359

coverage of the 2023 human exploration

3109
04:31:38,340 --> 04:32:21,780
but because

3110
04:32:21,790 --> 04:34:52,551
[Music]

3111
04:34:56,750 --> 04:34:54,830
hi there we're at the human exploration

3112
04:34:59,510 --> 04:34:56,760
Rover challenge here at Huntsville

3113
04:35:01,429 --> 04:34:59,520
Alabama we're at the aviation course

3114
04:35:03,769 --> 04:35:01,439
it's a new course this year and I am

3115
04:35:05,269 --> 04:35:03,779
here with a team at the starting line

3116
04:35:06,890 --> 04:35:05,279
they're getting up stretching out we

3117
04:35:08,750 --> 04:35:06,900
have a lot of teams on the course right

3118
04:35:11,330 --> 04:35:08,760
now you can probably see some of those

3119
04:35:12,949 --> 04:35:11,340
going on and yesterday you guys had a

3120
04:35:15,289 --> 04:35:12,959
great run what are you doing to kind of

3121
04:35:18,470 --> 04:35:15,299
improve on that today so we did a pretty

3122
04:35:20,570 --> 04:35:18,480
great run we topped a top five finish we

3123
04:35:22,070 --> 04:35:20,580
did improve our steering system and our

3124
04:35:24,289 --> 04:35:22,080
task tool just to get a little bit of

3125
04:35:26,631 --> 04:35:24,299
Edge on both of them time wise and

3126
04:35:28,490 --> 04:35:26,641
performance since we skipped some tasks

3127
04:35:30,230 --> 04:35:28,500
that uh we do plan on performing today

3128
04:35:32,029 --> 04:35:30,240
hopefully it will get us in a bigger

3129
04:35:34,250 --> 04:35:32,039
position that we were in yesterday so

3130
04:35:35,869 --> 04:35:34,260
our expectations are extremely high but

3131
04:35:37,369 --> 04:35:35,879
either we win or we learn that's

3132
04:35:39,349 --> 04:35:37,379
basically our mentality right now and we

3133
04:35:41,269 --> 04:35:39,359
want to give it all so oh that is a

3134
04:35:43,551 --> 04:35:41,279
great way to think about this you win or

3135
04:35:44,869 --> 04:35:43,561
you learn now tell me what school are

3136
04:35:46,730 --> 04:35:44,879
you from again we're from the University

3137
04:35:48,230 --> 04:35:46,740
of Puerto Rico madagas campus

3138
04:35:49,670 --> 04:35:48,240
all right and it took you guys a little

3139
04:35:51,051 --> 04:35:49,680
bit to get here so you couldn't be here

3140
04:35:53,449 --> 04:35:51,061
without some of the sponsors is that

3141
04:35:55,250 --> 04:35:53,459
right yeah yeah but a huge shout out to

3142
04:35:58,250 --> 04:35:55,260
FedEx since they had a one-day shipping

3143
04:36:00,051 --> 04:35:58,260
we did match to uh um scheduled out with

3144
04:36:01,970 --> 04:36:00,061
them and it got really fast here in time

3145
04:36:02,869 --> 04:36:01,980
so that really helped us a lot when we

3146
04:36:04,490 --> 04:36:02,879
got here

3147
04:36:06,170 --> 04:36:04,500
um the other day it was completely fine

3148
04:36:08,510 --> 04:36:06,180
the roller was intact so that really

3149
04:36:11,209 --> 04:36:08,520
helped us uh gain an edge in the

3150
04:36:12,769 --> 04:36:11,219
performance upgrades we wanted to uh to

3151
04:36:14,990 --> 04:36:12,779
do since I know that some shipping

3152
04:36:16,789 --> 04:36:15,000
methods can you know damage the Rover

3153
04:36:19,010 --> 04:36:16,799
itself but thankfully you know I can't

3154
04:36:20,631 --> 04:36:19,020
be more thankful of FedEx oh that is so

3155
04:36:22,551 --> 04:36:20,641
fantastic and on the back of your shirts

3156
04:36:25,070 --> 04:36:22,561
you guys have things yeah so we have

3157
04:36:28,189 --> 04:36:25,080
Naval nuclear lab Northrop Grumman we

3158
04:36:29,510 --> 04:36:28,199
have GM on our sleeves and NASA too uh

3159
04:36:31,250 --> 04:36:29,520
we also have FedEx on there we have

3160
04:36:33,230 --> 04:36:31,260
racing Arc which is a welding company

3161
04:36:35,209 --> 04:36:33,240
from Puerto Rico we also

3162
04:36:37,429 --> 04:36:35,219
see Boeing

3163
04:36:44,150 --> 04:36:37,439
I think that's all of them right yeah

3164
04:36:47,990 --> 04:36:46,369
it takes a lot of people to get here and

3165
04:36:50,810 --> 04:36:48,000
how long did it take you guys to build

3166
04:36:52,250 --> 04:36:50,820
your Rover wow it was pretty complex uh

3167
04:36:55,310 --> 04:36:52,260
same Captain I really wanted to start

3168
04:36:57,529 --> 04:36:55,320
early uh way before the manuals were

3169
04:36:59,689 --> 04:36:57,539
um you know sent out in their site so we

3170
04:37:01,609 --> 04:36:59,699
started around of May of last year just

3171
04:37:03,470 --> 04:37:01,619
to design the entire thing since you

3172
04:37:05,929 --> 04:37:03,480
know the implementation of the belt

3173
04:37:08,209 --> 04:37:05,939
drive system that NASA started off yet

3174
04:37:09,949 --> 04:37:08,219
um last year we wanted to upgrade that

3175
04:37:11,330 --> 04:37:09,959
since last year we had a little bit of

3176
04:37:13,490 --> 04:37:11,340
um trouble with that we were really

3177
04:37:14,869 --> 04:37:13,500
accustomed to chain drive so we know we

3178
04:37:18,789 --> 04:37:14,879
beat us a challenge started tackling

3179
04:37:21,410 --> 04:37:18,799
from may we finished the sign by

3180
04:37:22,970 --> 04:37:21,420
November but we did we plan on starting

3181
04:37:24,650 --> 04:37:22,980
all the manufacturing by December but

3182
04:37:27,109 --> 04:37:24,660
unfortunately we had Rick and Fiona that

3183
04:37:29,209 --> 04:37:27,119
the latest quite a while shipping times

3184
04:37:32,090 --> 04:37:29,219
the campus was closed for two full weeks

3185
04:37:35,029 --> 04:37:32,100
so yeah that delayed us but we did begin

3186
04:37:37,910 --> 04:37:35,039
full manufacturing on uh January and we

3187
04:37:39,769 --> 04:37:37,920
literally finished it last week

3188
04:37:41,330 --> 04:37:39,779
your team is bringing the energy we have

3189
04:37:43,250 --> 04:37:41,340
the air horns do you guys have any kind

3190
04:37:45,890 --> 04:37:43,260
of chance or anything that you do oh

04:37:48,410 --> 04:37:45,900
yeah we have a lot oh we have way too

3192
04:37:50,570 --> 04:37:48,420

04:43:20,810 --> 04:43:18,600
are you with

3220
04:43:23,150 --> 04:43:20,820
Shin Brothers University in Memphis in

3221
04:43:24,170 --> 04:43:23,160
Memphis Tennessee well just up the way

3222
04:43:26,810 --> 04:43:24,180
so tell us a little

3223
04:43:30,050 --> 04:43:26,820
trip over how did things go yesterday

3224
04:43:32,030 --> 04:43:30,060
so the name's carbon Comet uh we use a

3225
04:43:34,550 --> 04:43:32,040
whole lot of carbon fiber

3226
04:43:38,390 --> 04:43:34,560
um yesterday we got through an obstacle

3227
04:43:42,350 --> 04:43:38,400
got to another one and we just smashed

3228
04:43:44,448 --> 04:43:42,360
our wheel in so last night we made these

3229
04:43:47,090 --> 04:43:44,458
wheels out of plywood so now we can race

3230
04:43:48,948 --> 04:43:47,100
uh broker Wheels but we can race today

3231
04:43:50,510 --> 04:43:48,958
so we're happy well I'm glad that you

3232
04:43:52,190 --> 04:43:50,520
guys are out here so what is your

3233
04:43:53,570 --> 04:43:52,200
strategy then today with these plywood

3234
04:43:55,610 --> 04:43:53,580
Wheels do you have to take things a

3235
04:43:56,810 --> 04:43:55,620
little bit more delicately or what are

3236
04:43:59,150 --> 04:43:56,820
we thinking

3237
04:44:02,090 --> 04:43:59,160
well obviously these are new wheels so

3238
04:44:03,948 --> 04:44:02,100
we didn't get to test as much as home so

3239
04:44:06,288 --> 04:44:03,958
we're a little uncertain as to how it'll

3240
04:44:08,690 --> 04:44:06,298
go but we do have a lot of traction so

3241
04:44:11,330 --> 04:44:08,700
we do have the opportunity to go through

3242
04:44:13,010 --> 04:44:11,340
different obstacles this time so we're

3243
04:44:16,368 --> 04:44:13,020
looking forward to it I think we'll do

3244
04:44:17,930 --> 04:44:16,378
well hopefully so we're good well I'm

3245
04:44:20,030 --> 04:44:17,940

3261
04:48:45,298 --> 04:49:46,910
thank you

3262
04:49:50,690 --> 04:49:49,368
hey everyone we have teams lined up at

3263
04:49:52,730 --> 04:49:50,700
getting ready to start for the human

3264
04:49:54,590 --> 04:49:52,740
exploration Rover challenge then we have

3265
04:49:56,090 --> 04:49:54,600
more than 48 teams from all across the

3266
04:49:58,010 --> 04:49:56,100
world and we actually have a team here

3267
04:49:59,510 --> 04:49:58,020
from Singapore today that they but

3268
04:50:01,550 --> 04:49:59,520
thanks so much for coming to Sweet Home

3269
04:50:05,230 --> 04:50:01,560
Alabama so tell me really quick what's

3270
04:50:09,050 --> 04:50:07,430
awesome now tell me a little bit about

3271
04:50:10,610 --> 04:50:09,060
your Rover because it looks like you

3272
04:50:12,110 --> 04:50:10,620
have six wheels and that's a little

3273
04:50:14,270 --> 04:50:12,120
unique that we've seen out here today

3274
04:50:16,970 --> 04:50:14,280
what we've done is basically uh this is

3275
04:50:19,910 --> 04:50:16,980
used for stability and I'll put a low

3276
04:50:22,128 --> 04:50:19,920
center of gravity so we can Traverse the

3277
04:50:24,590 --> 04:50:22,138
obstacles now did you guys get to test

3278
04:50:27,230 --> 04:50:24,600
any of those obstacles yesterday oh no

3279
04:50:29,570 --> 04:50:27,240
no no oh yeah yeah but like our team did

3280
04:50:31,190 --> 04:50:29,580
other people from our team okay so is

3281
04:50:32,448 --> 04:50:31,200
this your first time racing then this

3282
04:50:34,010 --> 04:50:32,458
whole weekend yeah

3283
04:50:36,410 --> 04:50:34,020
yeah okay so what's the strategy then

3284
04:50:38,330 --> 04:50:36,420
like what are we in uh go for and so uh

3285
04:50:40,070 --> 04:50:38,340
from our teammates we learned some

3286
04:50:41,510 --> 04:50:40,080
obstacles are dues and some obstacle are

3287
04:50:43,910 --> 04:50:41,520
don'ts so we're trying to follow that

3288
04:50:45,288 --> 04:50:43,920
we're gonna try avoiding the mud patches

3289
04:50:46,730 --> 04:50:45,298
because we heard from other teams that

3290
04:50:47,628 --> 04:50:46,740
the mod was really hard to Traverse

3291
04:50:49,448 --> 04:50:47,638
through

3292
04:50:51,410 --> 04:50:49,458
um

3293
04:50:53,690 --> 04:50:51,420
that's something I'm gonna try something

3294
04:50:56,390 --> 04:50:53,700
yeah definitely yep so we're gonna stick

3295
04:50:57,590 --> 04:50:56,400
to speed yeah speed so stick to speed so

3296
04:50:59,628 --> 04:50:57,600
you're going for the eight minute Mark

3297
04:51:02,150 --> 04:50:59,638
and under then are you gonna go for any

3298
04:51:03,830 --> 04:51:02,160
of the retrievals do you think no no I

3299
04:51:05,270 --> 04:51:03,840
don't think so I don't think so I mean

3300
04:51:07,550 --> 04:51:05,280
it'll all depend on the time but right

3301
04:51:08,810 --> 04:51:07,560

right

3314
04:52:41,218 --> 04:55:07,788
inside the umbrella

3315
04:55:11,990 --> 04:55:09,770
here at the starting line for NASA's

3316
04:55:13,788 --> 04:55:12,000
human exploration Rover challenge we

3317
04:55:16,010 --> 04:55:13,798
have teams from all across the world out

3318
04:55:18,570 --> 04:55:16,020
here including one from Mexico can I get

3319
04:55:22,070 --> 04:55:18,580
a big cheer just really quickly

3320
04:55:24,288 --> 04:55:22,080
[Applause]

3321
04:55:25,970 --> 04:55:24,298
I think we have the energy so you

3322
04:55:27,708 --> 04:55:25,980
quickly tell me just your names and what

3323
04:55:29,570 --> 04:55:27,718
your role is my name is Rafael Diaz and

3324
04:55:31,250 --> 04:55:29,580
I'm the team leader my name is Renata

3325
04:55:33,708 --> 04:55:31,260
Camacho and I'm in Prototype development

3326
04:55:34,910 --> 04:55:33,718
well this is a very unique Rover and I

3327
04:55:36,410 --> 04:55:34,920
understand that this is going to be your

3328
04:55:38,930 --> 04:55:36,420
first time Racing for this whole weekend

3329
04:55:40,730 --> 04:55:38,940
correct yeah that's right

3330
04:55:43,610 --> 04:55:40,740
yeah we had issues during the mission

3331
04:55:45,470 --> 04:55:43,620
right in this review we are with our

3332
04:55:47,868 --> 04:55:45,480
Wheels but we have since fixed them and

3333
04:55:49,070 --> 04:55:47,878
we're here to try it out well tell me a

3334
04:55:50,690 --> 04:55:49,080
little bit about your wheels like what

3335
04:55:52,550 --> 04:55:50,700
made you pick this design I see there's

3336
04:55:54,770 --> 04:55:52,560
some really cool tread marks on here too

3337
04:55:57,110 --> 04:55:54,780
yeah the first design was to get a ring

3338
04:55:58,850 --> 04:55:57,120
made of aluminum to wrap silk absorbs

3339
04:56:00,288 --> 04:55:58,860
and doesn't give all the work to

3340
04:56:03,170 --> 04:56:00,298
suspension

3341
04:56:05,628 --> 04:56:03,180
yeah then we put the lids on top to

3342
04:56:07,670 --> 04:56:05,638
avoid the deformation and to essentially

3343
04:56:09,830 --> 04:56:07,680
make them stay round

3344
04:56:12,050 --> 04:56:09,840
um because they're the aluminum just

3345
04:56:14,570 --> 04:56:12,060
didn't hold up as we wanted it to right

3346
04:56:16,010 --> 04:56:14,580
well it looks like um so these look like

3347
04:56:17,690 --> 04:56:16,020
they're designed to take on as many of

3348
04:56:20,890 --> 04:56:17,700
the challenges as possible what's your

3349
04:56:26,510 --> 04:56:24,650
simple obstacles and by other ones but

3350
04:56:28,730 --> 04:56:26,520
we try very hard

3351
04:56:30,410 --> 04:56:28,740
yeah just essentially give it a roll

3352
04:56:32,030 --> 04:56:30,420
well how have you guys been training

3353
04:56:34,128 --> 04:56:32,040
then for this race I mean you guys look

3354
04:56:35,750 --> 04:56:34,138
like you're ready to go everybody looks

3355
04:56:37,368 --> 04:56:35,760
ready to go but has there been a lot of

3356
04:56:39,190 --> 04:56:37,378
training a lot of prep a lot of training

3357
04:56:41,890 --> 04:56:39,200
that off caffeine and making

3358
04:56:44,930 --> 04:56:41,900
and a lot of good energy essentially

3359
04:56:46,670 --> 04:56:44,940
well I love it well I love it and

3360
04:56:48,170 --> 04:56:46,680
congratulations and good luck to all of

3361
04:56:49,970 --> 04:56:48,180
you I'll let you guys keep going but I

3362
04:56:51,830 --> 04:56:49,980
think we need just one more cheer from

3363
04:56:56,948 --> 04:56:51,840
everybody before we get started can we

3364
04:56:56,958 --> 04:57:59,150
thank you

3365
04:58:15,580 --> 04:58:01,690
foreign

3366
04:59:41,930 --> 04:59:32,630
[Music]

3367
04:59:41,940 --> 05:01:08,868
come on

3368
05:01:08,878 --> 05:01:29,810
foreign

3369
05:04:14,330 --> 05:01:31,670
[Music]

3370
05:04:18,590 --> 05:04:16,730
we are out here at the starting line for

3371
05:04:20,270 --> 05:04:18,600
NASA's human exploration Rover challenge

3372
05:04:22,010 --> 05:04:20,280
we are checking in with the teams just

3373
05:04:23,628 --> 05:04:22,020
before they get started as we mentioned

3374
05:04:25,310 --> 05:04:23,638
earlier we have teams from all across

3375
05:04:26,868 --> 05:04:25,320
the world here but we also have some a

3376
05:04:28,910 --> 05:04:26,878
little bit closer to home we have a team

3377
05:04:31,070 --> 05:04:28,920
from South Alabama gearing Up Now

3378
05:04:32,990 --> 05:04:31,080
quickly tell me this is a unique Rover

3379
05:04:35,270 --> 05:04:33,000
can you tell me your names and something

3380
05:04:38,448 --> 05:04:35,280
that stands out to you about this

3381
05:04:40,368 --> 05:04:38,458
my name is Felicity Bryant and something

3382
05:04:41,810 --> 05:04:40,378
that stands out to me about it is our

3383
05:04:43,128 --> 05:04:41,820
back-to-back design we haven't seen a

3384
05:04:44,110 --> 05:04:43,138
lot of other teams with the back-to-back

3385
05:04:46,670 --> 05:04:44,120
design

3386
05:04:47,628 --> 05:04:46,680
and we love it because it just folds up

3387
05:04:50,030 --> 05:04:47,638
in the middle

3388
05:04:51,590 --> 05:04:50,040
and I'm Michael Cottrell and one unique

3389
05:04:52,788 --> 05:04:51,600
unique thing about our Rover is we

3390
05:04:54,948 --> 05:04:52,798
actually have a steering wheel unlike

3391
05:04:56,930 --> 05:04:54,958
other teams well tell me why did you

3392
05:04:58,670 --> 05:04:56,940
guys choose a back-to-back design and

3393
05:04:59,510 --> 05:04:58,680
what's the perk of having a steering

3394
05:05:02,090 --> 05:04:59,520
wheel

3395
05:05:04,128 --> 05:05:02,100
so the back-to-back design means we

3396
05:05:05,930 --> 05:05:04,138
could just have a mirrored image of our

3397
05:05:08,690 --> 05:05:05,940
Rover from one side to the other so we

3398
05:05:10,670 --> 05:05:08,700
could easily manufacture parts

3399
05:05:12,410 --> 05:05:10,680
oh my goodness that's incredible so and

3400
05:05:13,970 --> 05:05:12,420
I'm looking then am I correct in

3401
05:05:16,250 --> 05:05:13,980
assuming that you made these tires

3402
05:05:19,010 --> 05:05:16,260
yourself as well yes ma'am the original

3403
05:05:21,650 --> 05:05:19,020
intention was to 3D print our tires but

3404
05:05:23,990 --> 05:05:21,660
our printer failed about halfway through

3405
05:05:26,150 --> 05:05:24,000
a tire and we tried to get it reworking

3406
05:05:27,650 --> 05:05:26,160
but um ended up having to improvise our

3407
05:05:30,350 --> 05:05:27,660
tires so these are actually plywood

3408
05:05:32,208 --> 05:05:30,360
styrofoam and rubber that's incredible

3409
05:05:34,430 --> 05:05:32,218
did you guys get to test out this design

3410
05:05:37,128 --> 05:05:34,440
in your tires yesterday

3411
05:05:39,050 --> 05:05:37,138
um actually yes we bypassed most of the

3412
05:05:40,970 --> 05:05:39,060
obstacles but we were able to finish the

3413
05:05:43,190 --> 05:05:40,980
course in a little bit over the time

3414
05:05:45,410 --> 05:05:43,200
about 15 minutes so what's today's

3415
05:05:46,910 --> 05:05:45,420
strategy then are we going to go for

3416
05:05:49,730 --> 05:05:46,920
time or are we going for as many

3417
05:05:53,990 --> 05:05:52,070
today we're going to try to go for time

3418
05:05:56,628 --> 05:05:54,000
um we're gonna try to go and hit a few

3419
05:05:59,090 --> 05:05:56,638
obstacles but mainly our goal is to get

3420
05:06:01,788 --> 05:05:59,100
under the eight minutes okay no I gotta

3421
05:06:03,830 --> 05:06:01,798
ask you have a very uh unique friend up

3422
05:06:05,810 --> 05:06:03,840
front is this the mascot what are we

3423
05:06:08,510 --> 05:06:05,820
doing with this astronaut up here yes

05:06:10,970 --> 05:06:08,520
that is Jonathan he was giving us given

3425
05:06:12,890 --> 05:06:10,980
to us by one of the Alabama Space Grant

3426
05:06:14,990 --> 05:06:12,900

competing in high school and in college

3475
05:18:20,810 --> 05:18:18,840
and we have a high school team out here

3476
05:18:22,190 --> 05:18:20,820
from the Dominican Republic really

school that you're from difficult

05:18:28,610 --> 05:18:27,360
I think we need to do that one more time

3480
05:18:30,110 --> 05:18:28,620
because you looked like you guys are

3481
05:18:33,350 --> 05:18:30,120
going to say at the same time so can we

3482
05:18:37,190 --> 05:18:35,208

it's been quite a bit time tell me a

3488
05:18:50,230 --> 05:18:48,120
little bit about your Rover what stands

3489
05:18:53,930 --> 05:18:50,240
out I really like the tires

3490
05:18:55,730 --> 05:18:53,940
they're over the wheels is the my

3491
05:18:59,510 --> 05:18:55,740
favorite part of the Rover is the wheels

3492
05:19:02,510 --> 05:18:59,520
and it's made of plastic tubes and and

3493
05:19:06,650 --> 05:19:02,520
tape and Rover and Rover for more

3494
05:19:10,788 --> 05:19:06,660
friction and this is this is a aluminum

3495
05:19:12,948 --> 05:19:10,798
and it's a a special part of a rubber

3496
05:19:14,270 --> 05:19:12,958
well I know that Rovers have to be

3497
05:19:15,830 --> 05:19:14,280
lightweight because we want to try to

3498
05:19:17,510 --> 05:19:15,840
simulate a little bit what's going on

3499
05:19:19,610 --> 05:19:17,520
the moon I know that you guys got to

3500
05:19:22,070 --> 05:19:19,620
race a little bit yesterday how did

into this strategy is live by past some

3503
05:19:31,010 --> 05:19:29,340
obstacles and like to only do that

3504
05:19:34,310 --> 05:19:31,020
obstacle have tasks

3505
05:19:39,350 --> 05:19:37,550
to complete the the course

3506
05:19:41,570 --> 05:19:39,360
but I like that strategy that's a good

3507
05:19:44,090 --> 05:19:41,580
one so we're going to go for some sample

3508
05:19:45,410 --> 05:19:44,100

3509
05:19:46,788 --> 05:19:45,420

competing since 2010

3542
05:26:09,708 --> 05:26:08,580
um our Rover has evolved from all of

3543
05:26:11,270 --> 05:26:09,718
those times we've learned a lot of

3544
05:26:14,090 --> 05:26:11,280
things we've come back every time and

3545
05:26:16,190 --> 05:26:14,100

3576
05:27:14,570 --> 05:27:13,378

05:27:16,788 --> 05:27:14,580
the U-joint

3578
05:27:18,410 --> 05:27:16,798
um the the u-pipe one uh it's not quite

3579
05:27:21,650 --> 05:27:18,420
what we expected we had made our own

3580
05:27:22,490 --> 05:27:21,660
analogous Tool uh at home and when we

3581
05:27:23,868 --> 05:27:22,500
got here it just looks a little

3582
05:27:25,550 --> 05:27:23,878
different than what we expected but

3583
05:27:26,690 --> 05:27:25,560
we'll see what we can do and if time

3584
05:27:29,510 --> 05:27:26,700
allows it we're going to try them all

3585
05:27:31,010 --> 05:27:29,520
right I'm so excited for you guys now

3586
05:27:33,050 --> 05:27:31,020

between you and your partner when you're

3588
05:27:37,788 --> 05:27:35,400

3589
05:27:40,670 --> 05:27:37,798
safe words or any one team said that

3590
05:27:42,050 --> 05:27:40,680
their safe word was ice and so I didn't

3591
05:27:44,150 --> 05:27:42,060

Lance Davis I'm with the communications

3619
05:32:38,990 --> 05:32:36,600
team at NASA's Marshall space flight

3620
05:32:40,788 --> 05:32:39,000
center that's right you know we have a

3621
05:32:42,110 --> 05:32:40,798
few more teams up today we've seen a lot

3622
05:32:43,490 --> 05:32:42,120
already go

3623
05:32:44,810 --> 05:32:43,500
um some are doing really awesome some

3624
05:32:46,070 --> 05:32:44,820
are having a little bit of trouble but

3625
05:32:48,410 --> 05:32:46,080
you know something we've noticed is

3626
05:32:49,910 --> 05:32:48,420
they're all so excited to be here and

3627
05:32:52,070 --> 05:32:49,920
you know this course is not just

3628
05:32:53,868 --> 05:32:52,080
bragging rights for them they can win

3629
05:32:56,270 --> 05:32:53,878
awards today

3630
05:32:58,850 --> 05:32:56,280
um they can win Awards in in such a

3631
05:33:00,230 --> 05:32:58,860
number of things not just what their

3632
05:33:01,550 --> 05:33:00,240
points are on the course can you tell us

3633
05:33:04,010 --> 05:33:01,560
a little bit more about some of the

3634
05:33:06,288 --> 05:33:04,020
awards yes well one of them that we've

3635
05:33:07,550 --> 05:33:06,298
heard about uh one of the categories

3636
05:33:10,128 --> 05:33:07,560
throughout the day and we've even

3637
05:33:13,250 --> 05:33:10,138
discussed it is the lightweight award

3638
05:33:15,948 --> 05:33:13,260
that's right a lightweight category and

3639
05:33:17,990 --> 05:33:15,958
uh weight and mass are very vital when

3640
05:33:21,110 --> 05:33:18,000
we think about space exploration and

3641
05:33:24,948 --> 05:33:21,120
spacecrafts that we launch into uh orbit

3642
05:33:28,190 --> 05:33:24,958
and this category basically uh they

3643
05:33:30,650 --> 05:33:28,200
compete on who has the lightest uh Rover

3644
05:33:32,390 --> 05:33:30,660
yeah yeah very important for rocket

3645
05:33:34,850 --> 05:33:32,400
launches there so so that's one of the

3646
05:33:37,190 --> 05:33:34,860
awards they offer we also have an

3647
05:33:38,990 --> 05:33:37,200
Ingenuity award we have a safety award

3648
05:33:41,690 --> 05:33:39,000
and those are really for the students

3649
05:33:43,610 --> 05:33:41,700
that are are solving these engineering

3650
05:33:45,948 --> 05:33:43,620
challenges here you know this is a new

3651
05:33:48,770 --> 05:33:45,958
course and so how are they being

3652
05:33:51,050 --> 05:33:48,780
Innovative in that uh so what other

3653
05:33:53,750 --> 05:33:51,060
Awards do we have oh yes we have a

3654
05:33:55,550 --> 05:33:53,760
social media award and we have stem

3655
05:33:58,128 --> 05:33:55,560
engagement uh two very important

3656
05:34:00,650 --> 05:33:58,138
categories that focus on the importance

3657
05:34:03,670 --> 05:34:00,660
of communicating about the Rover

3658
05:34:06,770 --> 05:34:03,680
challenge as well as stem education yeah

3659
05:34:08,390 --> 05:34:06,780
to this Artemis generation engaging this

3660
05:34:10,190 --> 05:34:08,400
Artemis generation these students that

3661
05:34:11,990 --> 05:34:10,200
building the river are the Artemis

3662
05:34:13,610 --> 05:34:12,000
generation themselves but they're also

3663
05:34:15,890 --> 05:34:13,620
inspiring the Artemis generation for

3664
05:34:18,170 --> 05:34:15,900
future you know we have may have future

3665
05:34:20,510 --> 05:34:18,180
astronauts here that's true that's very

3666
05:34:23,270 --> 05:34:20,520
true yeah so this year's award ceremony

3667
05:34:26,208 --> 05:34:23,280
will be later this evening I will stream

3668
05:34:29,030 --> 05:34:26,218
on Marshall's YouTube channel as well as

3669
05:34:30,830 --> 05:34:29,040
herc's Facebook page uh it will be here

3670
05:34:33,350 --> 05:34:30,840
at the U.S Space and Rocket Center that

3671
05:34:34,430 --> 05:34:33,360
we're at today so be sure to tune in for

3672
05:34:37,550 --> 05:34:34,440
that if you want to know who's winning

3673
05:34:39,470 --> 05:34:37,560
these Awards we do have a team at the

3674
05:34:41,330 --> 05:34:39,480
start line so we're going to pass to our

3675
05:34:43,250 --> 05:34:41,340
colleague Beth to talk a little bit more

3676
05:34:46,430 --> 05:34:43,260
to that team and figure out what they're

3677
05:34:49,310 --> 05:34:46,440
thinking for this uh course today

3678
05:34:51,230 --> 05:34:49,320
the Rhode Island School of Design they

3679
05:34:53,390 --> 05:34:51,240
just popped off they are going on the

3680
05:34:55,070 --> 05:34:53,400
course they learned a lot of lessons

3681
05:34:56,810 --> 05:34:55,080
yesterday from the course that kind of

3682
05:34:59,208 --> 05:34:56,820
got a Baseline and they were telling me

3683
05:35:01,250 --> 05:34:59,218
that they listened to some music from

3684
05:35:03,708 --> 05:35:01,260
Queen it was a lot of fun and we'll have

3685
05:35:05,750 --> 05:35:03,718
more Rovers coming up through but as we

3686
05:35:07,128 --> 05:35:05,760
follow them on their challenge Alyssa

3687
05:35:08,868 --> 05:35:07,138
and Lance it has been a beautiful day

3688
05:35:10,788 --> 05:35:08,878
out here love seeing all of these Rovers

3689
05:35:13,730 --> 05:35:10,798
and love seeing all of these teams just

3690
05:35:16,190 --> 05:35:13,740
really go and capture the the spirit of

3691
05:35:17,868 --> 05:35:16,200
this competition because they really

3692
05:35:19,368 --> 05:35:17,878
care about how everything's going but

3693
05:35:21,350 --> 05:35:19,378
what they really care about is learning

3694
05:35:23,448 --> 05:35:21,360
more so we we really appreciate all the

3695
05:35:25,850 --> 05:35:23,458
teams coming out today we have another

3696
05:35:28,310 --> 05:35:25,860
team coming up so as they get ready I'll

3697
05:35:30,650 --> 05:35:28,320
give them a chat and talk with them and

3698
05:35:33,770 --> 05:35:30,660
I'll throw it back to you guys

3699
05:35:35,270 --> 05:35:33,780
thanks Beth yeah that team is off on the

course we're excited to see how they do

3701
05:35:39,830 --> 05:35:37,740
today we have 48 teams that are

3702
05:35:41,330 --> 05:35:39,840
competing over 500 students can you tell

3703
05:35:42,410 --> 05:35:41,340
us Lance where they're from

3704
05:35:46,670 --> 05:35:42,420
well

3705
05:35:48,830 --> 05:35:46,680
uh 16 uh States uh here in America are

3706
05:35:51,110 --> 05:35:48,840
represented and we have eight Nations

3707
05:35:54,230 --> 05:35:51,120
internationally that are that are

3708
05:35:57,770 --> 05:35:54,240
represented uh those include uh Bolivia

3709
05:36:02,448 --> 05:35:57,780
Brazil Colombia we have

3710
05:36:05,270 --> 05:36:02,458
public we also have India we have Mexico

3711
05:36:07,010 --> 05:36:05,280
Peru and Singapore wow that's a lot of

3712
05:36:08,150 --> 05:36:07,020
Nations represented here we love seeing

3713
05:36:10,610 --> 05:36:08,160
International

3714
05:36:13,128 --> 05:36:10,620
from around the world to see this uh

3715
05:36:14,690 --> 05:36:13,138
competition this is a new course design

3716
05:36:16,250 --> 05:36:14,700
this year I think we mentioned that a

3717
05:36:18,110 --> 05:36:16,260
few times but one mention it again it's

3718
05:36:20,090 --> 05:36:18,120
very important to know that this is new

3719
05:36:22,190 --> 05:36:20,100
to everyone we are at the aviation

3720
05:36:24,770 --> 05:36:22,200
challenge this year at the U.S Space and

3721
05:36:27,650 --> 05:36:24,780
Rocket Center there's 10 obstacles that

3722
05:36:30,288 --> 05:36:27,660
the course has five tasks in those in

3723
05:36:32,930 --> 05:36:30,298
the course those tasks are liquid sample

3724
05:36:35,208 --> 05:36:32,940
retrievals so the team has to be able to

3725
05:36:36,890 --> 05:36:35,218
collect a liquid sample while still on

3726
05:36:39,410 --> 05:36:36,900
the Rover they cannot get off the Rover

3727
05:36:41,150 --> 05:36:39,420
and they cannot cross-contaminate the

3728
05:36:42,708 --> 05:36:41,160
liquid samples so that's a big challenge

3729
05:36:43,970 --> 05:36:42,718
for them this year they gain a lot of

3730
05:36:45,650 --> 05:36:43,980
points on getting through those

3731
05:36:48,288 --> 05:36:45,660
obstacles getting through those tasks

3732
05:36:51,288 --> 05:36:48,298
can you tell me about the pilots oh yes

3733
05:36:53,510 --> 05:36:51,298
so each team has

3734
05:36:55,730 --> 05:36:53,520
male and one female and

3735
05:36:58,730 --> 05:36:55,740
and probably here's a lot of excitement

3736
05:37:01,730 --> 05:36:58,740
going on behind us as the competition or

3737
05:37:04,610 --> 05:37:01,740
the challenge continues and they have to

3738
05:37:06,350 --> 05:37:04,620
compete uh in eight minutes

3739
05:37:07,850 --> 05:37:06,360
oh yeah you could definitely hear that

3740
05:37:11,570 --> 05:37:07,860
excitement from the teams over here

3741
05:37:13,690 --> 05:37:11,580
we've got a line of Rovers ready to go

3742
05:37:17,510 --> 05:37:13,700
um we're excited to see them go today

3743
05:37:19,128 --> 05:37:17,520
and we are we

3744
05:37:21,590 --> 05:37:19,138
have we're gonna talk to them a little

3745
05:37:23,750 --> 05:37:21,600
bit more so Beth will pass it to you

3746
05:37:26,690 --> 05:37:23,760
hey there I am here with the University

3747
05:37:28,368 --> 05:37:26,700
of DC we have some exciting people

3748
05:37:30,050 --> 05:37:28,378
behind us but we have some excited

3749
05:37:33,890 --> 05:37:30,060
Pilots right here can you tell me your

3750
05:37:36,230 --> 05:37:33,900
name Claudia hi Claudia and hi my name

3751
05:37:37,910 --> 05:37:36,240
is Ben all right Ben and Claudia you

3752
05:37:40,190 --> 05:37:37,920
guys went through on the course

3753
05:37:42,350 --> 05:37:40,200
yesterday learned a few things what are

3754
05:37:44,868 --> 05:37:42,360
you guys doing different today and we

3755
05:37:47,570 --> 05:37:44,878
would try some obstacles actually maybe

3756
05:37:49,670 --> 05:37:47,580
three and now that we have the steering

3757
05:37:52,070 --> 05:37:49,680
working better so that will help us a

3758
05:37:54,830 --> 05:37:52,080
lot and also we have a new chain over

3759
05:37:56,690 --> 05:37:54,840
there so that will help a lot yeah the

3760
05:37:58,430 --> 05:37:56,700
obstacles just are on the course people

3761
05:38:00,530 --> 05:37:58,440
we have obstacles that these students

3762
05:38:02,030 --> 05:38:00,540
are having to overcome and engineer

3763
05:38:03,770 --> 05:38:02,040
every single day so what's something

3764
05:38:06,230 --> 05:38:03,780
that you really had to work on last

3765
05:38:07,430 --> 05:38:06,240
night yeah so yesterday like uh Claudia

3766
05:38:08,390 --> 05:38:07,440
may have said whenever we were going

3767
05:38:09,948 --> 05:38:08,400
through the race we were making great

3768
05:38:11,390 --> 05:38:09,958
time and then our chain broke it was a

3769
05:38:13,310 --> 05:38:11,400
pretty old chain so last night we went

3770
05:38:14,868 --> 05:38:13,320
and got a heavy duty chain installed it

3771
05:38:16,490 --> 05:38:14,878
this morning it's ready to go another

3772
05:38:17,690 --> 05:38:16,500
thing we fixed is our steering kept

3773
05:38:19,070 --> 05:38:17,700
buckling inward so if you see there's

3774
05:38:20,868 --> 05:38:19,080
that little crossbar that connects our

3775
05:38:22,368 --> 05:38:20,878
two steering arms that really allows us

3776
05:38:23,990 --> 05:38:22,378
to keep our Wheels straight instead of

3777
05:38:25,430 --> 05:38:24,000
having them Buckle uh so that was that

3778
05:38:27,230 --> 05:38:25,440
was a pretty crucial fix and we think

3779
05:38:28,610 --> 05:38:27,240
that we have a full four-wheel drive

3780
05:38:29,690 --> 05:38:28,620
system today our steering is going to be

3781
05:38:30,830 --> 05:38:29,700
great and we're not going to break our

3782
05:38:32,868 --> 05:38:30,840
chain so we should make pretty good time

3783
05:38:35,150 --> 05:38:32,878
all right I love it do you guys have any

3784
05:38:37,250 --> 05:38:35,160
Traditions or anything that you've done

3785
05:38:39,530 --> 05:38:37,260
Traditions I mean so this is this

3786
05:38:40,970 --> 05:38:39,540
Rover's a like we this Rover competition

3787
05:38:42,530 --> 05:38:40,980
we have not come here for a few years

3788
05:38:43,670 --> 05:38:42,540
obviously but

3789
05:38:45,230 --> 05:38:43,680
um you know we have a pretty small team

3790
05:38:46,730 --> 05:38:45,240
so not many Traditions yet but we're

3791
05:38:48,050 --> 05:38:46,740
hoping to have something that's very

3792
05:38:49,510 --> 05:38:48,060
solid in the future for people to move

3793
05:38:51,890 --> 05:38:49,520
off of and get inspired from so

3794
05:38:53,628 --> 05:38:51,900
fantastic next year will be year 30. so

3795
05:38:55,250 --> 05:38:53,638
we hope to see you guys back here we'll

3796
05:38:57,590 --> 05:38:55,260

awesome glad to have you here so can you

3805
05:39:20,570 --> 05:39:17,820
talk to us a little bit about the

3806
05:39:23,208 --> 05:39:20,580
strategy of your team with your Rover so

3807
05:39:25,730 --> 05:39:23,218
recently we had some difficulty with our

3808
05:39:28,730 --> 05:39:25,740
robot so our strategy today is to go

3809
05:39:29,930 --> 05:39:28,740
over the easier um the easier closest

3810
05:39:32,090 --> 05:39:29,940
um obstacles

3811
05:39:33,470 --> 05:39:32,100
um unfortunately we won't do any of the

3812
05:39:35,208 --> 05:39:33,480
tasks to

3813
05:39:36,830 --> 05:39:35,218
um the task because

3814
05:39:39,590 --> 05:39:36,840
um our tattoo kind of had some

3815
05:39:41,150 --> 05:39:39,600
difficulty it fell apart so it would be

3816
05:39:42,110 --> 05:39:41,160
next year for that but this time here

3817
05:39:43,550 --> 05:39:42,120
the guy's gonna go over the east

3818
05:39:45,410 --> 05:39:43,560
yourself

3819
05:39:47,810 --> 05:39:45,420
yeah well can you talk a little bit

3820
05:39:49,430 --> 05:39:47,820
about what you all have learned from

3821
05:39:51,770 --> 05:39:49,440
some of the challenges and difficulties

3822
05:39:52,550 --> 05:39:51,780
you've had uh over the last couple of

3823
05:39:57,170 --> 05:39:52,560
days

3824
05:39:58,788 --> 05:39:57,180
like the steering so we relate to

3825
05:40:01,250 --> 05:39:58,798
changes here and this theorem that we

3826
05:40:03,050 --> 05:40:01,260
have right now is not the Mysterion we

3827
05:40:04,670 --> 05:40:03,060
decided to go to with the rack and

3828
05:40:06,590 --> 05:40:04,680
pinion next year which is the easiest

3829
05:40:08,390 --> 05:40:06,600
thing just turn it what we have now is

3830
05:40:10,910 --> 05:40:08,400
just shifting two handles yeah that's

3831
05:40:12,590 --> 05:40:10,920
not the best they're in but that and

3832
05:40:14,810 --> 05:40:12,600
also the chain

3833
05:40:16,430 --> 05:40:14,820
um will not do not use chain drive next

3834
05:40:18,288 --> 05:40:16,440
time we will probably switch to a belt

3835
05:40:19,850 --> 05:40:18,298
drive yeah yesterday we have some

3836
05:40:22,310 --> 05:40:19,860
difficulty with the chain falling off

3837
05:40:23,448 --> 05:40:22,320
the coat on on the on the course and we

3838
05:40:24,530 --> 05:40:23,458
would like to change after belt drive

3839
05:40:27,470 --> 05:40:24,540
next here

3840
05:40:30,110 --> 05:40:27,480

we had last time we came in with a

we were very confident in our design and

3899
05:43:44,150 --> 05:43:40,920
that it was capable of much more than

3900
05:43:47,208 --> 05:43:44,160
what we got yesterday so we spent all

3901

quite exciting

3941
05:45:28,190 --> 05:45:26,340
um doing because we had a lot of trouble

3942
05:45:29,810 --> 05:45:28,200
in shipment you know the Perils of

3943
05:45:31,548 --> 05:45:29,820
international shipment and are fully

3944
05:45:33,530 --> 05:45:31,558
broke so we had to devise like with an

3945
05:45:35,750 --> 05:45:33,540
improviser solution for that so we just

3946
05:45:37,190 --> 05:45:35,760
got this like um we got this improv

3947
05:45:39,410 --> 05:45:37,200
fully and everything and we used that

3948
05:45:41,448 --> 05:45:39,420
and it worked it worked better than we

3949
05:45:43,970 --> 05:45:41,458

3950
05:45:45,830 --> 05:45:43,980

saw that our employer broken we knew

3954
05:45:54,410 --> 05:45:52,378
that our Rover couldn't be our main

3955
05:45:55,970 --> 05:45:54,420
focus anymore unfortunately so we just

3956
05:45:57,890 --> 05:45:55,980
moved all our Focus towards the castle

3957
05:45:59,990 --> 05:45:57,900
and that was the main goal is to

3958
05:46:02,570 --> 05:46:00,000

3977
05:46:52,490 --> 05:46:50,458
so we we went out to many many schools I

3978
05:46:54,530 --> 05:46:52,500
think we've crushed like over well like

3979
05:46:56,750 --> 05:46:54,540
three thousand five thousand kids yeah

3980
05:46:59,150 --> 05:46:56,760
five thousand kids in many many schools

3981
05:47:01,490 --> 05:46:59,160
across rural and urban India

3982
05:47:03,110 --> 05:47:01,500
um we also have a very very strong

3983
05:47:06,110 --> 05:47:03,120
social media campaign like in our

3984
05:47:07,670 --> 05:47:06,120
country if you type NASA

3985
05:47:10,910 --> 05:47:07,680
yeah

3986
05:47:13,010 --> 05:47:10,920
so I think our appreciation has been

3987
05:47:14,930 --> 05:47:13,020
really good we've inspired a lot of

3988
05:47:17,330 --> 05:47:14,940

3989
05:47:19,368 --> 05:47:17,340
a lot of support behind you so uh is

3990
05:47:22,910 --> 05:47:19,378
there anyone or any groups you want to

3991
05:47:27,350 --> 05:47:25,670
so there is a lot of companies and

3992
05:47:30,288 --> 05:47:27,360
corporates that actually sponsor this

3993
05:47:31,730 --> 05:47:30,298
team because you know these students are

3994
05:47:34,548 --> 05:47:31,740
from a few of the students are from

3995
05:47:37,190 --> 05:47:34,558
marginal marginalized communities in

3996
05:47:39,350 --> 05:47:37,200
India in supporting those students are

3997
05:47:40,970 --> 05:47:39,360

3998
05:47:43,490 --> 05:47:40,980

you so much to all the supporters who

4000
05:47:48,048 --> 05:47:45,718
helped us get this thing done so we are

4001
05:47:51,048 --> 05:47:48,058
from like it took around 14 hours for us

4002
05:47:53,750 --> 05:47:51,058
to came come here we made the Rover

4003
05:47:57,490 --> 05:47:53,760
manufactured it we transported it and we

4004
05:48:00,230 --> 05:47:57,500
competed here this is the best part that

4005
05:48:01,070 --> 05:48:00,240
so these are the people who surrendered

4006
05:48:03,890 --> 05:48:01,080
us so

4007
05:48:05,208 --> 05:48:03,900
thank you so much everyone speaking of

4008
05:48:06,650 --> 05:48:05,218
your challenges that you've gone through

4009
05:48:07,970 --> 05:48:06,660
can you talk a little bit about what

4010
05:48:12,230 --> 05:48:07,980
being a high school team in this

4011
05:48:16,150 --> 05:48:12,240
competition is like uh so uh if you talk

4012
05:48:18,890 --> 05:48:16,160
about India so a lot of not a lot of uh

4013
05:48:20,750 --> 05:48:18,900
people or students in high school knew

4014
05:48:22,490 --> 05:48:20,760
about this kind of challenges they

4015
05:48:25,610 --> 05:48:22,500
didn't know how to manufacture it over

4016
05:48:27,830 --> 05:48:25,620
what Rover is all about so we at Young

4017
05:48:31,448 --> 05:48:27,840
Tinker made sure that students learned

4018
05:48:33,590 --> 05:48:31,458
tinkering and this is how we we

4019
05:48:36,350 --> 05:48:33,600
selected six students from different

4020
05:48:38,030 --> 05:48:36,360
parts of India so these six students are

4021
05:48:40,850 --> 05:48:38,040
from different parts of India like it's

4022
05:48:43,128 --> 05:48:40,860
like one thousand kilometers from each

4023
05:48:45,890 --> 05:48:43,138
other it's around 600 700 miles from

4024
05:48:49,190 --> 05:48:45,900
each other so these guys came together

4025
05:48:50,890 --> 05:48:49,200
on a online mode we taught them

4026
05:48:53,270 --> 05:48:50,900
everything then they came together

4027
05:48:55,730 --> 05:48:53,280
manufactured everything and now we are

4028
05:48:58,190 --> 05:48:55,740
here competing with the world

4029
05:49:01,070 --> 05:48:58,200
I guess I just have to ask this question

4030
05:49:03,830 --> 05:49:01,080
uh do you have any words of wisdom or

4031
05:49:06,470 --> 05:49:03,840
advice for any teams or future teams

4032
05:49:09,948 --> 05:49:06,480
that may be considering this competition

4033
05:49:12,110 --> 05:49:09,958
uh so so uh uh there's a lot of

4034
05:49:13,670 --> 05:49:12,120
challenges that we faced because we have

4035
05:49:15,948 --> 05:49:13,680
this kind of team the background of the

4036
05:49:19,250 --> 05:49:15,958
students and a lot of things are there

4037
05:49:21,530 --> 05:49:19,260
but one thing that is there in the team

4038
05:49:23,570 --> 05:49:21,540
is the unity and the strength it took us

4039
05:49:26,150 --> 05:49:23,580
three months to complete the entire

4040
05:49:28,788 --> 05:49:26,160
thing but we are there preparing for

4041
05:49:32,570 --> 05:49:28,798
these three months from a long time

4042
05:49:35,150 --> 05:49:32,580
and uh when we did it we're so happy and

4043
05:49:38,330 --> 05:49:35,160
I don't know if we'll win a award today

4044
05:49:40,670 --> 05:49:38,340
or not but I think we have already won

4045
05:49:43,310 --> 05:49:40,680
by coming here and bringing the students

4046
05:49:45,170 --> 05:49:43,320
here that's the most important thing and

4047
05:49:48,230 --> 05:49:45,180
thank you NASA for giving this

4048
05:49:50,208 --> 05:49:48,240
opportunity and yesterday I would like

4049
05:49:53,030 --> 05:49:50,218
to thank the NASA team who actually

4050
05:49:55,368 --> 05:49:53,040
helped us fix the problem and we can see

4051
05:49:58,310 --> 05:49:55,378
today our role running on the course so

4052
05:50:02,750 --> 05:50:00,288
um also just um we're all here from like

4053
05:50:04,788 --> 05:50:02,760

stem don't I mean if even if math looks

4057
05:50:11,690 --> 05:50:10,020
scary

4058
05:50:14,150 --> 05:50:11,700
um I swear it's not no matter what your

4059
05:50:16,788 --> 05:50:14,160
professor or any student tells you and

4060
05:50:19,368 --> 05:50:16,798

and I was basically in charge of making

4132
05:52:50,690 --> 05:52:48,058
sure we had a mock-up and a final design

4133
05:52:53,930 --> 05:52:50,700
on onshape which is a CAD program that

4134
05:52:57,770 --> 05:52:53,940
we use to design the whole river

4135
05:52:58,970 --> 05:52:57,780
and Miley my um role is lead design I

4136
05:53:02,510 --> 05:52:58,980
mean not lead design I'm sorry team

4137
05:53:03,708 --> 05:53:02,520
leader and with that I my role was to

4138
05:53:05,330 --> 05:53:03,718
essentially make sure that everyone was

4139
05:53:06,948 --> 05:53:05,340
getting everything they needed done when

4140
05:53:08,750 --> 05:53:06,958
it came to all of the components making

4141
05:53:10,670 --> 05:53:08,760
sure that we ordered everything that we

4142
05:53:13,610 --> 05:53:10,680
needed making sure that

4143
05:53:14,930 --> 05:53:13,620
scheduling was on time and just overall

4144
05:53:17,270 --> 05:53:14,940
making sure that we had something that

4145
05:53:19,010 --> 05:53:17,280
we could send Johnsville

team leader perspective

4151
05:53:31,010 --> 05:53:30,180
definitely consider that we came a long

4152
05:53:33,708 --> 05:53:31,020
way

4153
05:53:38,750 --> 05:53:37,070
starting off in the early year we were a

4154
05:53:40,788 --> 05:53:38,760
little we were a little bumpy because

4155
05:53:43,490 --> 05:53:40,798
teams

4156
05:53:45,288 --> 05:53:43,500
our team itself either it grew in size

4157
05:53:47,090 --> 05:53:45,298
or shrunk in size multiple different

4158
05:53:49,190 --> 05:53:47,100
times around but

4159
05:53:50,448 --> 05:53:49,200
the team we have now is a strong team s

4160
05:53:52,430 --> 05:53:50,458
all the team we're all really hard

4161
05:53:54,470 --> 05:53:52,440
workers very excited about being here

4162
05:53:56,628 --> 05:53:54,480
very excited about being able to

4163
05:53:59,570 --> 05:53:56,638
Traverse the course on both days even if

4164
05:54:01,310 --> 05:53:59,580
on day one we did have some we did have

4165
05:54:03,410 --> 05:54:01,320
a little incident that didn't mess us up

4166
05:54:05,868 --> 05:54:03,420
however on day two we did find a way to

4167
05:54:08,390 --> 05:54:05,878
manage and come back so tell us a little

4168
05:54:10,490 --> 05:54:08,400
bit about the about your strategy today

4169
05:54:12,830 --> 05:54:10,500
with your comeback

4170
05:54:16,010 --> 05:54:12,840
well one of the major setbacks that

4171
05:54:18,590 --> 05:54:16,020
messed us up yesterday afternoon had to

4172
05:54:22,010 --> 05:54:18,600
be about

4173
05:54:23,270 --> 05:54:22,020
our wheel hub and how the wheel

4174
05:54:25,070 --> 05:54:23,280
suspension

4175
05:54:27,650 --> 05:54:25,080
broke in the middle of the course around

4176
05:54:32,270 --> 05:54:27,660
obstacle number five or six

4177
05:54:35,510 --> 05:54:32,280
while our rear driver Jamal was pushing

4178
05:54:37,368 --> 05:54:35,520
the car due to our chain messing up

4179
05:54:38,750 --> 05:54:37,378
how we managed to fix that early this

4180
05:54:41,030 --> 05:54:38,760
morning we came in got that thing

4181
05:54:43,430 --> 05:54:41,040
re-welded on both sides just to reinsure

4182
05:54:46,208 --> 05:54:43,440
that we wouldn't have to go through that

4183
05:54:48,948 --> 05:54:46,218
issue again we made sure that the chain

4184
05:54:50,930 --> 05:54:48,958
would be able to fasten on as best that

4185
05:54:53,510 --> 05:54:50,940
we could get it even though

4186
05:54:56,150 --> 05:54:53,520
we saw again today that

4187
05:54:57,350 --> 05:54:56,160
it came off in some cases however we

4188
05:54:58,730 --> 05:54:57,360
still managed to Traverse through the

4189
05:55:00,170 --> 05:54:58,740
course without any of the pieces

4190
05:55:01,730 --> 05:55:00,180
breaking which is great I'm really proud

4191
05:55:04,250 --> 05:55:01,740
of our team for that and I believe you

4192
05:55:05,628 --> 05:55:04,260
have the wheel with you Gene the part of

4193
05:55:07,430 --> 05:55:05,638
the wheel correct

4194
05:55:09,170 --> 05:55:07,440
this is a

4195
05:55:11,330 --> 05:55:09,180
um demo version of the wheel this is

4196
05:55:13,610 --> 05:55:11,340
where we started off from essentially

4197
05:55:15,410 --> 05:55:13,620
how this design works is it's multiple

4198
05:55:18,770 --> 05:55:15,420
different layers of cardboard

4199
05:55:22,368 --> 05:55:18,780
with each side having like trades to be

4200
05:55:24,070 --> 05:55:22,378
able to hold a type of TPU tread we

4201
05:55:27,410 --> 05:55:24,080
decided to scrap the cardboard design

4202
05:55:30,410 --> 05:55:27,420
solely due to either a lack of material

4203
05:55:33,170 --> 05:55:30,420
and we really didn't have like a way to

4204
05:55:35,570 --> 05:55:33,180
ensure that these weren't going to take

4205
05:55:36,948 --> 05:55:35,580
any like water or mud damage since of

4206
05:55:39,890 --> 05:55:36,958
course it's cardboard it's paper and

4207
05:55:42,708 --> 05:55:39,900
things like that so we decided to use

4208
05:55:44,990 --> 05:55:42,718
the inner layer of corrugated plastic

4209
05:55:47,690 --> 05:55:45,000
which of course is waterproof as plastic

4210
05:55:49,730 --> 05:55:47,700
it's stronger and so has the inner like

4211
05:55:51,650 --> 05:55:49,740
Ridge design like cardboard does so it

4212
05:55:53,810 --> 05:55:51,660
still has that stability and on the

4213
05:55:56,090 --> 05:55:53,820
outside we used a piece of wood to be

4214
05:55:58,250 --> 05:55:56,100
able to hold the TPU Treads the 3D

4215
05:55:59,810 --> 05:55:58,260
printed treads on the inside which gave

4216
05:56:04,730 --> 05:55:59,820
the back wheels a whole lot of friction

4217
05:56:07,310 --> 05:56:06,230
yes there is someone we want to think

4218
05:56:10,850 --> 05:56:07,320
from

4219
05:56:13,010 --> 05:56:10,860
UDC team actually uh Ben he was actually

4220
05:56:16,310 --> 05:56:13,020
a lot of help while building the Rover

4221
05:56:18,770 --> 05:56:16,320
we had to go from our school to UDC

4222
05:56:20,990 --> 05:56:18,780
about like every day

4223
05:56:23,990 --> 05:56:21,000
um about a 25 minute train right there

4224
05:56:26,330 --> 05:56:24,000
and we had to figure out scheduling when

4225
05:56:28,910 --> 05:56:26,340
people were available and so yeah I want

4226
05:56:30,650 --> 05:56:28,920
to give a huge thanks to Ben he was he

4227
05:56:31,730 --> 05:56:30,660
was a real big help if we would not be

4228
05:56:33,770 --> 05:56:31,740
here without him

4229
05:56:36,110 --> 05:56:33,780
we love seeing that

4230
05:56:39,650 --> 05:56:36,120
um I also wanted to thank um our

4231
05:56:42,530 --> 05:56:39,660
administrator Mr Kenneth Leslie he was a

4232
05:56:44,628 --> 05:56:42,540
great help not only helping us to

4233
05:56:46,670 --> 05:56:44,638
get here today helping us with a few of

4234
05:56:48,830 --> 05:56:46,680
our designs and helping us come and

4235
05:56:50,750 --> 05:56:48,840
collect with our wheel hubs that

4236
05:56:53,628 --> 05:56:50,760
inverted on our way out to the course

4237
05:56:56,030 --> 05:56:53,638
yesterday in the center of the wheel the

4238
05:56:58,128 --> 05:56:56,040
wheel hubs decided that it would be

4239
05:57:01,490 --> 05:56:58,138
really cool to just go inside of the

4240
05:57:02,930 --> 05:57:01,500
wheel so we decided to make bigger hubs

4241
05:57:05,570 --> 05:57:02,940
so that the amount of torque could be

4242
05:57:07,010 --> 05:57:05,580
displaced farther out and so we wouldn't

4243
05:57:08,868 --> 05:57:07,020
have to worry about the hubs inverting

4244
05:57:10,730 --> 05:57:08,878
anymore but we decided to keep these

4245
05:57:11,570 --> 05:57:10,740
internal design but we made bigger hubs

4246
05:57:13,368 --> 05:57:11,580
for it

4247
05:57:14,930 --> 05:57:13,378
great well thank you for joining us in

4248
05:57:16,850 --> 05:57:14,940
the booth we love hearing about the

4249
05:57:18,770 --> 05:57:16,860
wheel design that you had

4250
05:57:20,510 --> 05:57:18,780
um Good Luck uh at the award sign room

4251
05:57:22,490 --> 05:57:20,520

4286
05:58:44,990 --> 05:58:43,860
what would you call it like if we have

4287
05:58:48,110 --> 05:58:45,000
an issue and we need to get off

4288
05:58:49,730 --> 05:58:48,120
temporarily we're hoping we can um shave

4289
05:58:51,650 --> 05:58:49,740
sometimes there with the getting on and

4290
05:58:54,470 --> 05:58:51,660
getting off and knowing when to do that

4291
05:58:55,850 --> 05:58:54,480
and hopefully we'll be able to reach our

4292
05:58:57,470 --> 05:58:55,860

thanks Beth uh just for anyone tuning in

4317
05:59:54,230 --> 05:59:51,900
I wanted to remind everybody we are at

4318
05:59:57,170 --> 05:59:54,240
the U.S Space and Rocket Center at the

4319
05:59:59,090 --> 05:59:57,180
2023 human exploration Rover challenge

4320
06:00:00,590 --> 05:59:59,100
Liz tell us a little bit about the

4321
06:00:04,128 --> 06:00:00,600
course this year

4322
06:00:07,310 --> 06:00:04,138
well I know that they have a new uh

4323
06:00:10,548 --> 06:00:07,320
challenge or a new course of course that

4324
06:00:13,788 --> 06:00:10,558
the team is uh taking on

4325
06:00:15,708 --> 06:00:13,798
each team has two pilots one is male one

4326
06:00:17,810 --> 06:00:15,718
is female and they have to complete the

4327
06:00:21,048 --> 06:00:17,820
course uh in eight minutes

4328
06:00:23,810 --> 06:00:21,058
uh they also uh have to maintain a

4329
06:00:26,150 --> 06:00:23,820
certain uh weight with The Rovers uh and

4330
06:00:28,670 --> 06:00:26,160
that that's our lightweight category uh

4331
06:00:31,010 --> 06:00:28,680
and it's five by five by five uh cubic

4332
06:00:34,190 --> 06:00:31,020
feet has to fit in a box of that size

4333
06:00:36,530 --> 06:00:34,200
yeah and that's equivalent to a uh a

4334
06:00:38,930 --> 06:00:36,540
rocket payload uh that goes up into

4335
06:00:41,690 --> 06:00:38,940
outer space and our human exploration

4336
06:00:44,448 --> 06:00:41,700
missions yeah there's a taco has to be

4337
06:00:45,590 --> 06:00:44,458
uh you know light yes it does and

4338
06:00:47,570 --> 06:00:45,600
there's other challenges they have to

4339
06:00:49,610 --> 06:00:47,580
face too on the course there's 10

4340
06:00:51,410 --> 06:00:49,620
obstacles that they can go through they

4341
06:00:53,030 --> 06:00:51,420
can bypass them if they choose to it's

4342
06:00:54,830 --> 06:00:53,040
all about that time limit

4343
06:00:56,270 --> 06:00:54,840
um they can also do the mission tasks

4344
06:00:57,830 --> 06:00:56,280
that are on the course and get points

4345
06:01:00,110 --> 06:00:57,840
for those it's all about the points for

4346
06:01:01,610 --> 06:01:00,120
the course this is not just a race it's

4347
06:01:03,470 --> 06:01:01,620
not just about who gets through it the

4348
06:01:05,390 --> 06:01:03,480
fastest but about the points that you

4349
06:01:08,030 --> 06:01:05,400
gather along the way so that's really

4350
06:01:09,770 --> 06:01:08,040
good to remind people of um this is our

4351
06:01:11,270 --> 06:01:09,780
last segment of live commentary today

4352
06:01:13,548 --> 06:01:11,280
but what

4353
06:01:15,470 --> 06:01:13,558
courses or Rovers going through the

4354
06:01:17,570 --> 06:01:15,480
course all day long

4355
06:01:19,730 --> 06:01:17,580
um but we will be getting to that award

4356
06:01:21,770 --> 06:01:19,740
ceremony a little later this evening and

4357
06:01:23,868 --> 06:01:21,780
there's a ton of awards besides just

4358
06:01:26,030 --> 06:01:23,878
what they're gonna get on the course

4359
06:01:27,170 --> 06:01:26,040
time and the course points um can you

4360
06:01:29,150 --> 06:01:27,180
tell us a little bit about some of those

4361
06:01:32,330 --> 06:01:29,160
Awards uh well a couple that come to

4362
06:01:34,910 --> 06:01:32,340
mind um are the social media award uh

4363
06:01:38,470 --> 06:01:34,920
that category which focuses on the

4364
06:01:43,070 --> 06:01:41,330
experiences and promoting stem and then

4365
06:01:45,650 --> 06:01:43,080
you also have stem engagement I

4366
06:01:49,610 --> 06:01:45,660
understand they had to meet a minimum

4367
06:01:52,730 --> 06:01:49,620
requirement of at least uh 200. 200

4368
06:01:56,150 --> 06:01:52,740
engagements 200 students so that focuses

4369
06:01:58,368 --> 06:01:56,160
on promoting stem education to uh this

4370
06:02:00,590 --> 06:01:58,378
generation and this generation is the

4371
06:02:03,410 --> 06:02:00,600
next generation of Artemis yes this is

4372
06:02:07,670 --> 06:02:05,570
on these Rovers they're also engaging

4373
06:02:09,948 --> 06:02:07,680
and inspire

4374
06:02:14,270 --> 06:02:09,958
as well some of them might become our

4375
06:02:17,690 --> 06:02:15,890
at their Peak I feel like you know we

4376
06:02:20,270 --> 06:02:17,700
just successfully launch Artemis one

4377
06:02:21,770 --> 06:02:20,280
we've announced the crew for Artemis 2.

4378
06:02:23,810 --> 06:02:21,780
you know you can check on updates for

4379
06:02:25,548 --> 06:02:23,820
those on social media follow NASA's

4380
06:02:28,010 --> 06:02:25,558

4381
06:02:29,930 --> 06:02:28,020
Twitter Instagram LinkedIn we're on all

updates about the work that Marshall is

4384
06:02:35,270 --> 06:02:33,540
doing for the Artemis missions we do a

4385
06:02:36,830 --> 06:02:35,280
lot of other things as well but you know

4386
06:02:38,930 --> 06:02:36,840
this Artemis generation that we're

4387
06:02:41,030 --> 06:02:38,940
talking about today is really the key

4388
06:02:43,368 --> 06:02:41,040
for for

4389
06:02:45,890 --> 06:02:43,378
future missions yeah and one of those

4390
06:02:48,410 --> 06:02:45,900
missions or our goals is to send the

4391
06:02:50,448 --> 06:02:48,420
first woman to the moon and the first

4392
06:02:52,788 --> 06:02:50,458
person of color that's correct yeah

4393
06:02:54,948 --> 06:02:52,798
that's a huge goal for the mission we I

4394
06:02:57,110 --> 06:02:54,958
can't wait to see it see it I mean uh

4395
06:02:58,970 --> 06:02:57,120
this Artemis era of space exploration I

4396
06:03:00,948 --> 06:02:58,980
like to call it is absolutely amazing

4397
06:03:03,110 --> 06:03:00,958
they're going to be landing actually on

4398
06:03:04,310 --> 06:03:03,120
the South Pole of the moon and the

4399
06:03:06,350 --> 06:03:04,320
reason they're doing that is we want to

4400
06:03:08,868 --> 06:03:06,360
learn a little bit more about the lunar

4401
06:03:11,090 --> 06:03:08,878
ice a water on the moon it's a huge

4402
06:03:12,708 --> 06:03:11,100
thing that we have to find and we have

4403
06:03:14,628 --> 06:03:12,718
to learn more about to create that

4404
06:03:17,270 --> 06:03:14,638
sustained human presence on the moon and

4405
06:03:19,310 --> 06:03:17,280
and from there we're going to Mars

4406
06:03:20,750 --> 06:03:19,320
that's correct and that's good to know

4407
06:03:22,490 --> 06:03:20,760
and I'm glad you pointed that out we're

4408
06:03:25,850 --> 06:03:22,500
not just going back we're going back

4409
06:03:27,530 --> 06:03:25,860
with a purpose exactly yes we are so

4410
06:03:30,170 --> 06:03:27,540
just

4411
06:03:31,788 --> 06:03:30,180
teams that are competing today 16 States

4412
06:03:33,288 --> 06:03:31,798
we have the District of Columbia we have

4413
06:03:36,110 --> 06:03:33,298
Puerto Rico we have eight Nations

4414
06:03:38,390 --> 06:03:36,120
represented today yes we do

4415
06:03:40,250 --> 06:03:38,400
um and if I can take a moment and just

4416
06:03:44,628 --> 06:03:40,260

we actually have Brazil at the start

4422
06:03:58,010 --> 06:03:56,760
line

4423
06:03:59,448 --> 06:03:58,020

we learned that uh the uh the challenge

4437
06:04:38,990 --> 06:04:34,798
is way Challenger than we thought and

4438
06:04:42,230 --> 06:04:39,000
um like the obstacles I really like the

4439
06:04:44,930 --> 06:04:42,240
Martian and lunar surfaces and we

4440
06:04:48,230 --> 06:04:44,940
thought it'd be a little like or like an

4441
06:04:51,170 --> 06:04:48,240
Earth but it's not and

4442
06:04:53,510 --> 06:04:51,180

Studio technology and science India and

4487
06:10:02,868 --> 06:10:00,840
uh yep we are here to participate in

4488
06:10:04,670 --> 06:10:02,878
NASA Hulk great and I understand that

4489
06:10:06,590 --> 06:10:04,680
you did not compete in day one and your

4490
06:10:08,448 --> 06:10:06,600
rookie team can you tell me a little bit

4491
06:10:10,788 --> 06:10:08,458
more about what your first year here has

4492
06:10:12,530 --> 06:10:10,798
been like it's been tough actually the

4493
06:10:14,570 --> 06:10:12,540
logistics and the technical management

4494
06:10:15,830 --> 06:10:14,580
has been tough we encountered some

4495
06:10:17,750 --> 06:10:15,840
issues yesterday that's why we weren't

4496
06:10:19,788 --> 06:10:17,760
able to make a run we've broke some

4497
06:10:22,070 --> 06:10:19,798
parts but we managed to repair them and

4498
06:10:24,230 --> 06:10:22,080
hence we are going for a run today

4499
06:10:26,090 --> 06:10:24,240
so glad to have you with us for the

4500
06:10:29,628 --> 06:10:26,100
first time can you talk with us about

4501
06:10:31,190 --> 06:10:29,638
your strategy for today uh yeah so

4502
06:10:33,590 --> 06:10:31,200
actually we have a bit of issues with

4503
06:10:34,670 --> 06:10:33,600
the steering so we can do attend most of

4504
06:10:37,128 --> 06:10:34,680
the obstacles

4505
06:10:38,810 --> 06:10:37,138
and uh whatever tasks we can achieve we

4506
06:10:40,548 --> 06:10:38,820
can really achieve we'll skip the High

4507
06:10:42,850 --> 06:10:40,558
View and other high incline tasks

4508
06:10:45,048 --> 06:10:42,860
because the sweating won't support that

4509
06:10:46,670 --> 06:10:45,058
we've actually broke some of the stuff

4510
06:10:48,830 --> 06:10:46,680
in the morning but we managed to repair

4511
06:10:51,770 --> 06:10:48,840
that but just to be safe we are going to

4512
06:10:53,750 --> 06:10:51,780
bypass that and just do the more planar

4513
06:10:56,330 --> 06:10:53,760
obstacles

4514
06:10:57,890 --> 06:10:56,340
awesome so uh describe what the team is

4515
06:11:00,650 --> 06:10:57,900
like like how's the morale how's

4516
06:11:01,910 --> 06:11:00,660
excitement so the team is like we have

4517
06:11:04,850 --> 06:11:01,920
been all together for the past three

4518
06:11:07,610 --> 06:11:04,860
years and all of us have wanted like a

4519
06:11:09,230 --> 06:11:07,620
small family and every every problem

4520
06:11:11,090 --> 06:11:09,240
every good thing we have faced together

4521
06:11:13,128 --> 06:11:11,100
we are faces together we came here

4522
06:11:15,350 --> 06:11:13,138
together we had lots of issues in coming

4523
06:11:17,030 --> 06:11:15,360
here we had lots of issues here but all

4524
06:11:20,390 --> 06:11:17,040
of us we stuck together and we have

4525
06:11:22,788 --> 06:11:20,400
managed to solve it so yeah I think

4526
06:11:24,830 --> 06:11:22,798
awesome well one more question is there

4527
06:11:26,750 --> 06:11:24,840
any advice you want to give to uh

4528
06:11:28,128 --> 06:11:26,760
participants who will be coming next

4529
06:11:30,288 --> 06:11:28,138
year for the first time

4530
06:11:32,628 --> 06:11:30,298
uh do your test students properly at

4531
06:11:34,490 --> 06:11:32,638
home and when you come here so that you

4532
06:11:36,910 --> 06:11:34,500
don't have any work to do here because

4533
06:11:40,010 --> 06:11:36,920
if you leave anything to complete hair

4534
06:11:41,448 --> 06:11:40,020
you might face some issues but it's

4535
06:11:44,510 --> 06:11:41,458
engineering so it's nothing that's not

4536
06:11:46,910 --> 06:11:44,520
solvable so yeah we thank you so much

4537
06:11:49,430 --> 06:11:46,920
for being with us yeah and as a reminder

4538
06:11:51,410 --> 06:11:49,440
we are at the 2023 human exploration

4539
06:11:53,270 --> 06:11:51,420
Rover challenge we're gonna get a little

4540
06:11:55,368 --> 06:11:53,280
behind the scenes look at what these

4541
06:11:58,850 --> 06:11:55,378
students go through to get here you know

4542
06:12:01,010 --> 06:11:58,860
a part of the Rover challenge is

4543
06:12:02,570 --> 06:12:01,020
stopping at the pig crew we have the

4544
06:12:04,490 --> 06:12:02,580
NASA Marshall pit crew here that is

4545
06:12:06,170 --> 06:12:04,500
helping students if they have any issues

4546
06:12:07,788 --> 06:12:06,180
with welding or parts falling off and

4547
06:12:10,070 --> 06:12:07,798
they need a little bit of extra help we

4548
06:12:11,628 --> 06:12:10,080
have a picker here and about that a

4549
06:12:14,750 --> 06:12:11,638
little more we have our colleague Lauren

4550
06:12:19,490 --> 06:12:16,910
have Steve with me from the NASA pit

4551
06:12:21,530 --> 06:12:19,500
crew and uh nearly every team I've

4552
06:12:24,048 --> 06:12:21,540
talked to during this um challenge

4553
06:12:27,048 --> 06:12:24,058
yesterday and today has utilized the pit

4554
06:12:30,048 --> 06:12:27,058
so really a just a crucial part of this

4555
06:12:31,850 --> 06:12:30,058
the entire event so tell me how what

4556
06:12:33,948 --> 06:12:31,860
sort of tools and stuff do you does the

4557
06:12:36,110 --> 06:12:33,958
pit crew provide okay we have a variety

4558
06:12:37,850 --> 06:12:36,120
of tools everything from hand tools

4559
06:12:40,430 --> 06:12:37,860
screwdrivers wrenches and things like

4560
06:12:42,708 --> 06:12:40,440
that then we have power tools angle

4561
06:12:44,510 --> 06:12:42,718
grinders drills and things like that as

4562
06:12:47,330 --> 06:12:44,520
well and then we also have some larger

4563
06:12:49,730 --> 06:12:47,340
tools which we help assist them with we

4564
06:12:51,948 --> 06:12:49,740
have welders plasma cutters band saws

4565
06:12:53,690 --> 06:12:51,958
Blaze and and Mills and things like that

4566
06:12:55,190 --> 06:12:53,700
so we again want to try to make sure

4567
06:12:57,230 --> 06:12:55,200
that we help these teams be as

4568
06:12:59,390 --> 06:12:57,240
successful as they can by providing

4569
06:13:01,310 --> 06:12:59,400
those tools and and materials where

4570
06:13:04,250 --> 06:13:01,320
where we can and you're not just

4571
06:13:06,170 --> 06:13:04,260
providing the tools and the materials a

4572
06:13:08,570 --> 06:13:06,180
lot of the students although they may be

4573
06:13:11,270 --> 06:13:08,580
learning how to use these materials and

4574
06:13:13,670 --> 06:13:11,280
tools y'all are actually helping and and

4575
06:13:16,670 --> 06:13:13,680
doing the work for them right well we we

4576
06:13:19,010 --> 06:13:16,680
supervise we we look and see if we have

4577
06:13:20,570 --> 06:13:19,020
capabilities we always like to have the

4578
06:13:22,850 --> 06:13:20,580
students or their instructors or

4579
06:13:24,288 --> 06:13:22,860
advisors do the work themselves but

4580
06:13:27,770 --> 06:13:24,298
again it needs to be done in a safe

4581
06:13:29,930 --> 06:13:27,780
fashion so we're always very diligent on

4582
06:13:32,030 --> 06:13:29,940
making sure they do things so we don't

4583
06:13:33,470 --> 06:13:32,040
try to again do that for them we can

4584
06:13:35,690 --> 06:13:33,480
provide guidance and things like that

4585
06:13:37,970 --> 06:13:35,700
but there are some cases where we if

4586
06:13:39,890 --> 06:13:37,980
they need some specialized work we will

4587
06:13:42,110 --> 06:13:39,900
actually do that but again the desire is

4588
06:13:43,128 --> 06:13:42,120
always to have them do as much of it as

4589
06:13:45,410 --> 06:13:43,138
they can

4590
06:13:47,390 --> 06:13:45,420
now Steven you were telling me that

4591
06:13:50,628 --> 06:13:47,400
you've been doing this you know some 20

4592
06:13:52,190 --> 06:13:50,638
plus years so a lot has changed and

4593
06:13:53,990 --> 06:13:52,200
developed over

4594
06:13:55,788 --> 06:13:54,000
um really even just the last you know

4595
06:13:58,548 --> 06:13:55,798
decade or so have there been anything

4596
06:14:00,830 --> 06:13:58,558
this this specific year this specific

4597
06:14:03,890 --> 06:14:00,840
specific challenge that

4598
06:14:06,890 --> 06:14:03,900
um you've seen that has broken any sort

4599
06:14:08,810 --> 06:14:06,900
of uh comparisons like a lot of Wheels a

4600
06:14:10,490 --> 06:14:08,820
lot of axles something like that it's

4601
06:14:12,590 --> 06:14:10,500
been a variety of a lot of things as you

4602
06:14:14,990 --> 06:14:12,600
know as the Rover challenges has matured

4603
06:14:16,368 --> 06:14:15,000
as well they changed the rules and of

4604
06:14:19,310 --> 06:14:16,378
course the teams are adopting to they're

4605
06:14:21,288 --> 06:14:19,320
adapting to those rules and a lot of the

4606
06:14:23,990 --> 06:14:21,298
things we see originally they were many

4607
06:14:27,170 --> 06:14:24,000
spoke wheels bicycle wheels and chain

4608
06:14:29,030 --> 06:14:27,180
driven now they've Advanced from that we

4609
06:14:31,730 --> 06:14:29,040
have belt driven we have some gear

4610
06:14:33,470 --> 06:14:31,740
driven uh very Innovative activities but

4611
06:14:35,868 --> 06:14:33,480
of course with those complexities it's

4612
06:14:37,850 --> 06:14:35,878
much more difficult to do just to make a

4613
06:14:40,610 --> 06:14:37,860
rover go now going over the course that

4614
06:14:42,650 --> 06:14:40,620
they have to go through it's that much

4615
06:14:44,810 --> 06:14:42,660
more challenging so again with the

4616
06:14:46,850 --> 06:14:44,820
Within increased rules and the changes

4617
06:14:47,930 --> 06:14:46,860
we've seen that Innovation from from all

4618
06:14:49,730 --> 06:14:47,940
the teams

4619
06:14:51,410 --> 06:14:49,740
now paint me sort of a visual picture

4620
06:14:52,270 --> 06:14:51,420
since we don't have that right now on

4621
06:14:55,368 --> 06:14:52,280
camera

4622
06:14:57,590 --> 06:14:55,378
a Rover pulls up or sometimes maybe they

4623
06:14:59,510 --> 06:14:57,600
have to carry it up if maybe their

4624
06:15:00,890 --> 06:14:59,520
wheels are broken painting a visual of

4625
06:15:03,048 --> 06:15:00,900
sort of what they can expect when they

4626
06:15:04,788 --> 06:15:03,058
arrive and to the exit okay so we have

4627
06:15:06,530 --> 06:15:04,798
the pin area laid out where we have

4628
06:15:08,570 --> 06:15:06,540
essentially an area where they can come

4629
06:15:11,270 --> 06:15:08,580
to and make their requests what

4630
06:15:13,850 --> 06:15:11,280
information what tools what help they

4631
06:15:16,970 --> 06:15:13,860
need so we have our volunteers that are

4632
06:15:19,430 --> 06:15:16,980
set there and we kind of do a triage we

4633
06:15:21,770 --> 06:15:19,440
find out what they need whether it might

4634
06:15:24,170 --> 06:15:21,780
be a tool loan or something else and we

4635
06:15:26,750 --> 06:15:24,180
go and we find the right person for the

4636
06:15:28,788 --> 06:15:26,760
right job that they're after and again

4637
06:15:30,948 --> 06:15:28,798
we have the pit laid out to be very safe

4638
06:15:33,230 --> 06:15:30,958
we have the welding areas we have

4639
06:15:34,670 --> 06:15:33,240
shielded Machining area the grinding

4640
06:15:37,070 --> 06:15:34,680
areas and things like that it's all

4641
06:15:39,470 --> 06:15:37,080
separated so we're working as safely as

4642
06:15:42,110 --> 06:15:39,480
possible so from that once we find out

4643
06:15:44,868 --> 06:15:42,120
what their need is we will go ahead and

4644
06:15:46,910 --> 06:15:44,878
work with them provide the oversight and

4645
06:15:48,708 --> 06:15:46,920
and where necessary you know do the

4646
06:15:49,788 --> 06:15:48,718
minimal amount of work that we can for

4647
06:15:51,170 --> 06:15:49,798
them

4648
06:15:54,230 --> 06:15:51,180
um and again it might be a five minute

4649
06:15:55,490 --> 06:15:54,240
job uh sometimes we've seen some Crews

4650
06:15:57,350 --> 06:15:55,500
that have been in there for almost the

4651
06:15:58,850 --> 06:15:57,360
entire Rover challenge

4652
06:16:00,650 --> 06:15:58,860
um but again we're there to help them we

4653
06:16:02,390 --> 06:16:00,660
want them to be successful you know

4654
06:16:04,788 --> 06:16:02,400
these teams travel from all over the

4655
06:16:06,590 --> 06:16:04,798
world uh and they only have a limited

4656
06:16:08,628 --> 06:16:06,600
budget and materials they can bring with

4657
06:16:10,368 --> 06:16:08,638
them so we want to make sure that you

4658
06:16:13,310 --> 06:16:10,378
know if they need a washer or they need

4659
06:16:15,890 --> 06:16:13,320
something repaired we can help them be

4660
06:16:17,390 --> 06:16:15,900
successful out in the course and part of

4661
06:16:19,850 --> 06:16:17,400
engineering this is an engineering

4662
06:16:22,310 --> 06:16:19,860
challenge is figuring out how to figure

4663
06:16:23,990 --> 06:16:22,320
it out really and how to fix it like

4664
06:16:25,490 --> 06:16:24,000
that so thank you so much for sharing

4665
06:16:26,750 --> 06:16:25,500
some of that experience with us Steve

4666
06:16:28,548 --> 06:16:26,760
and I'll send it back to the broadcast

4667
06:16:30,230 --> 06:16:28,558
booth

4668
06:16:32,930 --> 06:16:30,240
thank you Lauren that is some great

4669
06:16:35,090 --> 06:16:32,940
information to hear from the a pic crew

4670
06:16:37,610 --> 06:16:35,100
person themselves speaking of our NASA

4671
06:16:38,750 --> 06:16:37,620
Marshall pick through volunteers Lance I

4672
06:16:41,350 --> 06:16:38,760
think we want to give a huge shout out

sponsors the host uh the U.S Space and

4676
06:16:51,470 --> 06:16:49,320
Rocket Center everyone is so crucial and

4677
06:16:53,810 --> 06:16:51,480
vital to the success of this event and

4678
06:16:55,430 --> 06:16:53,820
we just are glad to be back yeah we

4679
06:16:57,410 --> 06:16:55,440
would not be able to do it without

uh we to all of our sponsors to all of

4681
06:17:00,890 --> 06:16:58,680

hope we thank you so much for being a

4683
06:17:05,930 --> 06:17:02,638
part of this human exploration Rover

4684
06:17:08,270 --> 06:17:05,940
challenge for the 29th year with that

4685
06:17:09,890 --> 06:17:08,280
all being said we do have a team down at

4686
06:17:12,048 --> 06:17:09,900
the start line they're excited to get

4687
06:17:12,770 --> 06:17:12,058
going we're excited to see them going so

4688
06:17:15,948 --> 06:17:12,780
let's

4689
06:17:19,788 --> 06:17:17,990
Beth thanks so much Alyssa and Lance we

4690
06:17:21,530 --> 06:17:19,798
are here with the inspired Carter's

4691
06:17:23,330 --> 06:17:21,540
gravity they came all the way over

4692
06:17:25,788 --> 06:17:23,340
didn't get a chance to hit the course

4693
06:17:27,048 --> 06:17:25,798
yesterday but you're ready today yep we

4694
06:17:29,868 --> 06:17:27,058
are ready for to hit the course today

4695
06:17:31,310 --> 06:17:29,878
and we hope we do good and I said we're

4696
06:17:32,750 --> 06:17:31,320
having a little problems with steering

4697
06:17:34,788 --> 06:17:32,760
but that's something to overcome and

4698
06:17:37,548 --> 06:17:34,798
just something to learn a lesson from is

4699
06:17:40,128 --> 06:17:37,558
that right yeah it's something that has

4700
06:17:41,510 --> 06:17:40,138
been an issue this year but we prepared

4701
06:17:44,150 --> 06:17:41,520
to manage to repair it multiple times

4702
06:17:46,490 --> 06:17:44,160
but it still has some pertaining issues

4703
06:17:48,530 --> 06:17:46,500
but we hope and we know we can repair it

4704
06:17:50,270 --> 06:17:48,540
uh going further and so you guys went

4705
06:17:52,368 --> 06:17:50,280
with a three wheel design is that

4706
06:17:54,590 --> 06:17:52,378
something that uh you thought might help

4707
06:17:55,850 --> 06:17:54,600
with some of the tasks yeah so compared

4708
06:17:57,770 --> 06:17:55,860
to last year you were trying to manage

4709
06:18:00,590 --> 06:17:57,780
weight this year so for going with the

4710
06:18:02,868 --> 06:18:00,600
lower weight we uh eliminated the fourth

4711
06:18:05,090 --> 06:18:02,878
wheel uh which eliminate the whole rear

4712
06:18:07,670 --> 06:18:05,100
axle and everything so the Rover as a

4713
06:18:09,288 --> 06:18:07,680
whole becomes a lighter and actually

4714
06:18:11,868 --> 06:18:09,298
it's kind of a team trademark that we

4715
06:18:13,670 --> 06:18:11,878
created price only so we kind of make

4716
06:18:15,650 --> 06:18:13,680
going for we are going forward with that

4717
06:18:19,070 --> 06:18:15,660
fantastic well we really hope you guys

4718
06:18:22,128 --> 06:18:19,080
have a great time out excuse me time out

4719
06:18:23,628 --> 06:18:22,138
on the course and you have a wonderful

4720
06:18:25,190 --> 06:18:23,638
time we appreciate you guys being here

4721
06:18:27,110 --> 06:18:25,200
hope to see you again next year okay

4722
06:18:29,628 --> 06:18:27,120
yeah see all right thank you so much

4723
06:18:31,970 --> 06:18:29,638
we'll throw it back to you Alison Lance

4724
06:18:33,170 --> 06:18:31,980
bath we have another team here in the

4725
06:18:34,970 --> 06:18:33,180
booth that we're interviewing this is

4726
06:18:36,890 --> 06:18:34,980
Purdue University can you tell me your

4727
06:18:38,270 --> 06:18:36,900
name and your role on the team my name

4728
06:18:39,048 --> 06:18:38,280
is Juan I'm the safety officer for the

4729
06:18:40,670 --> 06:18:39,058
team

4730
06:18:43,128 --> 06:18:40,680
my name is Anthony I'm one of the

4731
06:18:45,948 --> 06:18:43,138
mechanical designers for the team

4732
06:18:48,230 --> 06:18:45,958
all right so this is day two I

4733
06:18:49,910 --> 06:18:48,240
understand uh yesterday we had some

4734
06:18:51,590 --> 06:18:49,920
challenges going on would one of you

4735
06:18:54,708 --> 06:18:51,600
talk a little bit about that with your

4736
06:18:56,930 --> 06:18:54,718
team so yeah the uh our main concern is

4737
06:18:58,150 --> 06:18:56,940
one of the designs that we do for the

4738
06:19:00,530 --> 06:18:58,160
control arm

4739
06:19:04,010 --> 06:19:00,540
we weren't able to use those so we used

4740
06:19:05,930 --> 06:19:04,020
the previous years and same problem as

4741
06:19:08,090 --> 06:19:05,940
last year happened this year to where

4742
06:19:11,570 --> 06:19:08,100
the control arm in the epoxy pretty much

4743
06:19:14,090 --> 06:19:11,580
snapped at the first turn so to remedy

4744
06:19:16,128 --> 06:19:14,100
that we pretty much had a aluminum

4745
06:19:18,288 --> 06:19:16,138
square tubing put it all on the bottom

4746
06:19:19,730 --> 06:19:18,298
and improve it strengthen up the the

4747
06:19:23,330 --> 06:19:19,740
rest of the Rover

4748
06:19:26,330 --> 06:19:23,340
so tell us a little bit about

4749
06:19:28,548 --> 06:19:26,340
um your preparation your your your road

4750
06:19:30,890 --> 06:19:28,558
to getting here uh what was that like

4751
06:19:33,890 --> 06:19:30,900
getting everybody together I mean

4752
06:19:36,170 --> 06:19:33,900
getting everybody together we uh we met

4753
06:19:38,150 --> 06:19:36,180
every single week pretty much

4754
06:19:40,368 --> 06:19:38,160
um we're really on the time crunch

4755
06:19:42,170 --> 06:19:40,378
trying to find a lot more people

4756
06:19:44,868 --> 06:19:42,180
involved into the project because

4757
06:19:47,750 --> 06:19:44,878
initially it started with Juan me and

4758
06:19:49,368 --> 06:19:47,760
then uh Mr Zach Holmes

4759
06:19:51,288 --> 06:19:49,378
um we finally got all the rest of the

4760
06:19:53,990 --> 06:19:51,298
team a month before the competition so

4761
06:19:57,048 --> 06:19:54,000
it was very tight schedule but uh we

4762
06:19:59,930 --> 06:19:57,058
just power through it and here we are

4763
06:20:02,628 --> 06:19:59,940
nice now one of the things uh you all

4764
06:20:04,128 --> 06:20:02,638
are asked to do is stem engagement uh

4765
06:20:07,070 --> 06:20:04,138
could you talk a little bit about some

4766
06:20:10,430 --> 06:20:07,080
of the activities you've done uh back in

4767
06:20:11,208 --> 06:20:10,440
your area but

4768
06:20:12,770 --> 06:20:11,218
um

4769
06:20:14,208 --> 06:20:12,780
Zachary Holmes the one that's riding the

4770
06:20:15,650 --> 06:20:14,218
bike right now he's been visiting a

4771
06:20:17,510 --> 06:20:15,660
bunch of high schools middle schools and

4772
06:20:19,250 --> 06:20:17,520
stuff like that taking what we have some

4773
06:20:20,990 --> 06:20:19,260
of the Rover so far showing up to the

4774
06:20:22,970 --> 06:20:21,000
kids uh pretty much they're showing them

4775
06:20:24,830 --> 06:20:22,980
the actual mechanics of the Rover itself

4776
06:20:28,490 --> 06:20:24,840
and you know just doing stuff like that

4777
06:20:33,410 --> 06:20:28,500
uh for the stem engagement very much

4778
06:20:37,070 --> 06:20:34,610
kind of it oh that's pretty much well

4779
06:20:38,270 --> 06:20:37,080
they like math problem you know power

4780
06:20:40,610 --> 06:20:38,280
through it

4781
06:20:43,190 --> 06:20:40,620
um it's pretty much uh

4782
06:20:44,690 --> 06:20:43,200
stuff I mean it's always a hard Road you

4783
06:20:46,548 --> 06:20:44,700
know any kind of stuff would be a hard

4784
06:20:47,750 --> 06:20:46,558
road but if you like math or working

4785
06:20:49,310 --> 06:20:47,760
with your hands stuff like that Hands-On

4786
06:20:50,930 --> 06:20:49,320
with machines and stuff like that uh

4787
06:20:52,128 --> 06:20:50,940
best advice I give is just uh don't

4788
06:20:55,490 --> 06:20:52,138
don't give up you know there's always a

4789
06:20:57,110 --> 06:20:55,500
way to um work around stuff like that

4790
06:20:59,990 --> 06:20:57,120
tell me again how many years has your

4791
06:21:03,410 --> 06:21:00,000
University done a hurt challenge

4792
06:21:07,128 --> 06:21:03,420
I believe that because didn't the this

4793
06:21:08,390 --> 06:21:07,138
competition started in 1997 1994 1994.

4794
06:21:11,990 --> 06:21:08,400
so I believe

4795
06:21:13,750 --> 06:21:12,000
we started 2001. I mean I would like to

4796
06:21:17,030 --> 06:21:13,760
I have many years

4797
06:21:18,890 --> 06:21:17,040
it's been at least since 2000 yeah um

4798
06:21:20,810 --> 06:21:18,900
this is my first year of doing it so I'm

4799
06:21:22,670 --> 06:21:20,820
still kind of new to it but getting

4800
06:21:25,730 --> 06:21:22,680
absolutely in our first year back in

4801
06:21:27,230 --> 06:21:25,740
person since 2019 a new course too

4802
06:21:29,030 --> 06:21:27,240
challenging for everybody I think

4803
06:21:31,128 --> 06:21:29,040
whether you're a rookie or a veteran but

4804
06:21:32,390 --> 06:21:31,138
we're excited to have you here um I do

4805
06:21:34,010 --> 06:21:32,400
also want to ask is there anyone you

4806
06:21:35,750 --> 06:21:34,020
want to thank

4807
06:21:37,910 --> 06:21:35,760
I just pretty much saw the people that

4808
06:21:39,530 --> 06:21:37,920
funded well the people that got the

4809
06:21:40,788 --> 06:21:39,540
funding from for uh all the parts of our

4810
06:21:41,990 --> 06:21:40,798
Rover

4811
06:21:43,730 --> 06:21:42,000
um

4812
06:21:45,048 --> 06:21:43,740
but yeah pretty much uh that's pretty

4813
06:21:46,490 --> 06:21:45,058
much it like all the people funding our

4814
06:21:48,948 --> 06:21:46,500
advisor he's been pretty helpful as well

4815
06:21:50,990 --> 06:21:48,958
you know I'm helping us uh along the

4816
06:21:52,788 --> 06:21:51,000
road um you're giving us uh a few

4817
06:21:54,410 --> 06:21:52,798
pointers and stuff like that for advice

4818
06:21:55,128 --> 06:21:54,420
on how to actually assemble the robot or

4819
06:21:56,810 --> 06:21:55,138
something like that so it's pretty much

4820
06:21:58,548 --> 06:21:56,820
all the people that helped us uh get to

4821
06:22:01,190 --> 06:21:58,558
the point that we are here today

4822
06:22:02,690 --> 06:22:01,200
my last question for you would be do you

4823
06:22:04,788 --> 06:22:02,700
have any fun Traditions or any

4824
06:22:06,288 --> 06:22:04,798
congratulatory cheer you do for your

4825

team

4826
06:22:10,670 --> 06:22:08,298
uh we haven't really thought about that

4827
06:22:12,890 --> 06:22:10,680
that's okay that's okay

4828
06:22:14,990 --> 06:22:12,900
we'd just love to ask um I'm sure that

4829
06:22:17,090 --> 06:22:15,000

guys on the course we want you guys to

4832
06:22:23,270 --> 06:22:20,940
go cheer on your team um it looks like

4833
06:22:24,650 --> 06:22:23,280
they are about to start we actually have

4834
06:22:26,390 --> 06:22:24,660
our colleague Beth with them right now

4835
06:22:28,310 --> 06:22:26,400
at the start line so I am actually going

4836
06:22:30,170 --> 06:22:28,320
to be passing it to her to ask them some

4837
06:22:32,390 --> 06:22:30,180
questions uh your Pilots so we'll pass

4838
06:22:34,548 --> 06:22:32,400
it to her Beth

4839
06:22:37,850 --> 06:22:34,558
thanks so much I am here with the pilots

4840
06:22:39,770 --> 06:22:37,860
and I am hearing about the will Saga and

4841
06:22:41,330 --> 06:22:39,780
the trauma and you know what it's a

4842
06:22:43,368 --> 06:22:41,340
roller coaster of emotions but that's

4843
06:22:45,948 --> 06:22:43,378
what we're here for just to learn and

4844
06:22:48,230 --> 06:22:45,958
learn from our our not necessarily

4845
06:22:50,030 --> 06:22:48,240
failures but just to learn right uh so

4846
06:22:52,010 --> 06:22:50,040
can you tell me your name uh Makaya

4847
06:22:53,810 --> 06:22:52,020
Humphrey I am Micaiah what is your major

4848
06:22:56,208 --> 06:22:53,820
in college a mechanical engineering

4849
06:22:58,190 --> 06:22:56,218
technology fantastic and you sir I'm

4850
06:22:59,570 --> 06:22:58,200
Zachary Holmes and my major is

4851
06:23:01,548 --> 06:22:59,580
mechanical engineering

4852
06:23:03,770 --> 06:23:01,558
getting a Mechanicals engineering here

4853
06:23:05,270 --> 06:23:03,780
so I think this is a really fun steering

4854
06:23:07,010 --> 06:23:05,280
mechanism here and you have your

4855
06:23:08,390 --> 06:23:07,020
stopwatch there that's one of the things

4856
06:23:10,190 --> 06:23:08,400
that I've talked to a lot of teens about

4857
06:23:12,350 --> 06:23:10,200
today it's just the timing of everything

4858
06:23:13,670 --> 06:23:12,360
so now that you have your wheels fixed

4859
06:23:15,230 --> 06:23:13,680
what are you going to do to kind of

4860
06:23:17,930 --> 06:23:15,240
strategize getting there and getting

4861
06:23:19,670 --> 06:23:17,940
across the Finish Line in time honestly

4862
06:23:22,128 --> 06:23:19,680
we're just trying to get over a few

4863
06:23:23,810 --> 06:23:22,138
obstacles we think we can uh go around

4864
06:23:24,890 --> 06:23:23,820
the ones that we can't and hopefully we

4865
06:23:27,470 --> 06:23:24,900
can get to the Finish Line in under

4866
06:23:28,850 --> 06:23:27,480
eight minutes that that's the goal and

4867
06:23:31,430 --> 06:23:28,860
is there anything that you guys are

4868
06:23:33,590 --> 06:23:31,440
doing right now we're having some some

4869
06:23:35,390 --> 06:23:33,600
fun issues we have a shoe that's kind of

4870
06:23:38,090 --> 06:23:35,400
stuck here to the pedal but as you told

4871
06:23:40,610 --> 06:23:38,100
me earlier it's better to be stuck into

4872
06:23:43,010 --> 06:23:40,620
the pedal than stuck out of it and to be

4873
06:23:45,110 --> 06:23:43,020
honest the exact opposite of what I

4874
06:23:47,208 --> 06:23:45,120
thought was gonna happen we thought that

4875
06:23:49,368 --> 06:23:47,218
this would break and we'd take the pedal

4876
06:23:51,170 --> 06:23:49,378
with my foot but I guess instead we're

4877
06:23:52,690 --> 06:23:51,180
going to take my foot with the pedal you

4878
06:23:54,948 --> 06:23:52,700
know we'll take it all

4879
06:23:56,510 --> 06:23:54,958
we have some other teams out on the

4880
06:23:58,128 --> 06:23:56,520
course today have you been watching how

4881
06:24:00,410 --> 06:23:58,138
other teams have been tackling this or

4882
06:24:01,910 --> 06:24:00,420
just focusing mostly on your own we've

4883
06:24:03,410 --> 06:24:01,920
mostly been focusing on our own we have

4884
06:24:04,788 --> 06:24:03,420
been looking at other teams in the

4885
06:24:06,470 --> 06:24:04,798
meantime we've been looking at a lot of

4886
06:24:08,150 --> 06:24:06,480
their designs as well because we're

4887
06:24:11,930 --> 06:24:08,160
trying to incorporate suspension into

4888
06:24:13,250 --> 06:24:11,940
next year but the big thing is we know a

4889
06:24:16,910 --> 06:24:13,260
lot of the teams that we've seen are

4890
06:24:20,830 --> 06:24:16,920
heavier Rovers 200 300 plus pounds we

4891
06:24:23,270 --> 06:24:20,840
have a very light frame at 152 so we're

4892
06:24:25,128 --> 06:24:23,280
trying to keep high speed because we

4893
06:24:28,310 --> 06:24:25,138
have very good drivetrain system for it

4894
06:24:30,708 --> 06:24:28,320
and hit what we can fast hit it hard get

4895
06:24:32,208 --> 06:24:30,718
over it quick and move on yeah it's all

4896
06:24:33,770 --> 06:24:32,218
about strategy it's not so much about

4897
06:24:35,570 --> 06:24:33,780
speed but just about what you can hit

4898
06:24:37,490 --> 06:24:35,580
what you can do and and then also

4899
06:24:39,708 --> 06:24:37,500
learning a lot about your Rover now is

4900
06:24:42,530 --> 06:24:39,718
this your first time here this is the

4901
06:24:44,390 --> 06:24:42,540
first time down at competition but all

4902
06:24:46,610 --> 06:24:44,400

and uh tell me a little bit about how

5071
07:04:30,410 --> 07:04:28,020
you're planning to tackle this court

5072
07:04:34,310 --> 07:04:30,420
how we're planning to tackle this car as

5073
07:04:35,930 --> 07:04:34,320
well I will see where our main goal

5074
07:04:38,990 --> 07:04:35,940
right now is to complete it in eight

5075
07:04:42,230 --> 07:04:39,000
minutes to be part of the overall score

5076
07:04:44,448 --> 07:04:42,240
but if we have the time the right time

5077
07:04:46,548 --> 07:04:44,458
we're going to pass it through up some

5078
07:04:48,708 --> 07:04:46,558
obstacles but yeah this is our first

5079
07:04:51,708 --> 07:04:48,718
time in the competition so completing

5080
07:04:54,288 --> 07:04:51,718
even the the whole course is Excursion

5081
07:04:56,030 --> 07:04:54,298
is a lot for us yeah yeah I mean some

5082
07:04:58,070 --> 07:04:56,040
some teams just get here to finish and

5083
07:04:58,910 --> 07:04:58,080
we've learned a lot of lessons along the

5084
07:04:59,930 --> 07:04:58,920
way

5085
07:05:01,430 --> 07:04:59,940
um what are some of the things that

5086
07:05:03,650 --> 07:05:01,440
you've learned even just about being

5087
07:05:05,930 --> 07:05:03,660
having a big team and working with a big

5088
07:05:07,910 --> 07:05:05,940
team like that well I don't know if you

5089
07:05:12,170 --> 07:05:07,920
can picture all of them we're like 30

5090
07:05:15,890 --> 07:05:12,180
right now and we're like 70 in total so

5091
07:05:18,468 --> 07:05:15,900
it's really hard to manage all these

5092
07:05:20,570 --> 07:05:18,478
people but they are so amazing so

5093
07:05:23,570 --> 07:05:20,580
brilliant smart and

5094
07:05:26,628 --> 07:05:23,580
without each of them this wouldn't even

5095
07:05:28,548 --> 07:05:26,638
be possible of every area not just the

5096
07:05:31,330 --> 07:05:28,558
mechanical design of manufacturing even

5097
07:05:33,830 --> 07:05:31,340
marketing and same guys

5098
07:05:37,090 --> 07:05:33,840
those are all amazing Electronics we

5099
07:05:41,208 --> 07:05:37,100
also have electronics for safety they're

5100
07:05:43,128 --> 07:05:41,218
evaluating biomedical parameters and we

5101
07:05:45,410 --> 07:05:43,138
also have communication with them not

5102
07:05:47,390 --> 07:05:45,420
via Wi-Fi that isn't common thing

5103
07:05:49,430 --> 07:05:47,400
because in Mars we wouldn't have that we

5104
07:05:51,890 --> 07:05:49,440
have that with some antenna that we are

5105
07:05:54,048 --> 07:05:51,900
going to be providing so yeah it's

5106
07:05:56,510 --> 07:05:54,058
pretty cool and we're really excited the

5107
07:05:58,610 --> 07:05:56,520
whole team is so exciting uh so how did

5108
07:06:00,288 --> 07:05:58,620
you get started in the the Rover program

5109
07:06:01,850 --> 07:06:00,298
is that something since this is your

5110
07:06:04,670 --> 07:06:01,860
first year here what how did you hear

5111
07:06:06,590 --> 07:06:04,680
about it uh it's not a I mean it's our

5112
07:06:09,590 --> 07:06:06,600
first time with a Rover but we've

5113
07:06:14,270 --> 07:06:09,600
participated before two times in 2019

5114
07:06:16,548 --> 07:06:14,280
and 2020. on 2019 we got a prize for uh

5115
07:06:18,468 --> 07:06:16,558
Telemetry if I'm not wrong and in 2020

5116
07:06:21,170 --> 07:06:18,478
for the design of the wheel this guy was

5117
07:06:24,650 --> 07:06:21,180
also for the guy in charge of the sign

5118
07:06:27,708 --> 07:06:24,660
of the roof of he's amazing and and now

5119
07:06:39,410 --> 07:06:27,718
but we couldn't be able to manufacture a

5120
07:06:49,968 --> 07:06:41,048
and

5121
07:06:52,610 --> 07:06:49,978
good design about the the gearbox is it

5122
07:06:56,030 --> 07:06:52,620
has two shifts and two speeds and a

5123
07:06:57,530 --> 07:06:56,040
reverse I think this is our uh the best

5124
07:06:59,990 --> 07:06:57,540
part of our

5125
07:07:03,350 --> 07:07:00,000

5135
07:07:38,690 --> 07:07:36,298
minutes and we are very excited to see

5136
07:07:42,708 --> 07:07:40,368
we'll be streaming live here for the

5137
07:08:33,590 --> 07:07:42,718
rest of the day until 4 P.M at the human

5138
07:08:33,600 --> 07:11:05,628
foreign

5139
07:11:09,830 --> 07:11:07,968
we are here at the human exploration

5140
07:11:11,810 --> 07:11:09,840
Rover Challenge and I'm here with the

5141
07:11:13,250 --> 07:11:11,820
University of West Florida they're at

5142
07:11:14,930 --> 07:11:13,260
the starting line we've had a lot of

5143
07:11:17,208 --> 07:11:14,940
teams come on the course these past

5144
07:11:19,430 --> 07:11:17,218
couple of hours and you guys this is

5145
07:11:20,990 --> 07:11:19,440
your first time on the course uh tell me

5146
07:11:22,670 --> 07:11:21,000
a little bit about some of the obstacles

5147
07:11:24,650 --> 07:11:22,680
before you tackle these what are some of

5148
07:11:27,350 --> 07:11:24,660
the obstacles you've overcome right now

5149
07:11:30,650 --> 07:11:27,360
oh man so the the greatest thing about

5150
07:11:33,770 --> 07:11:30,660
this Rover is it is 90 to 95 designed

5151
07:11:36,170 --> 07:11:33,780
and built by us the students which in

5152
07:11:38,810 --> 07:11:36,180
itself is a feat um we're blessed to

5153
07:11:41,868 --> 07:11:38,820
have been able to have that experience

5154
07:11:43,310 --> 07:11:41,878
um honestly it's been a lot of we've had

5155
07:11:44,930 --> 07:11:43,320
to do the design work we've had to build

5156
07:11:50,150 --> 07:11:44,940
it ourselves and

5157
07:11:55,610 --> 07:11:52,250
has your your college come to this event

5158
07:11:57,468 --> 07:11:55,620
before uh we came five years ago so this

5159
07:11:59,030 --> 07:11:57,478
is our first time in five years so we

5160
07:12:00,830 --> 07:11:59,040
just came for the experience more than

5161
07:12:02,690 --> 07:12:00,840
anything else yeah I mean it's it's

5162
07:12:04,850 --> 07:12:02,700
basically a fresh start for most teams

5163
07:12:06,650 --> 07:12:04,860
because we have not been back since the

5164
07:12:08,868 --> 07:12:06,660
pandemic in four years live in person

5165
07:12:10,910 --> 07:12:08,878
and we're here in a whole new area we're

5166
07:12:12,530 --> 07:12:10,920
at the U.S Space and Rocket Center at

5167
07:12:14,510 --> 07:12:12,540
the aviation challenge so if you've

5168
07:12:17,090 --> 07:12:14,520
heard of space camp Aviation challenges

5169
07:12:19,788 --> 07:12:17,100
it's kind of a thing but for pilots and

5170
07:12:21,530 --> 07:12:19,798
so that's why you may see some aircrafts

5171
07:12:23,750 --> 07:12:21,540
around here as you go through the course

5172
07:12:26,208 --> 07:12:23,760
what did you guys do to train and

5173
07:12:27,708 --> 07:12:26,218
prepare for this honestly a lot of it

5174
07:12:29,330 --> 07:12:27,718
was

5175
07:12:31,128 --> 07:12:29,340
it's just a lot of work

5176
07:12:35,510 --> 07:12:31,138
um honestly the most training that we

5177
07:12:37,310 --> 07:12:35,520
got to do was just earlier

5178
07:12:38,990 --> 07:12:37,320
um we got to we got to Pedal it for the

5179
07:12:41,510 --> 07:12:39,000
first time and it was an incredible

5180
07:12:43,368 --> 07:12:41,520
sight and we're all very excited that we

5181
07:12:45,890 --> 07:12:43,378
have a working Rover

5182
07:12:47,510 --> 07:12:45,900
we do yeah yeah so talk to me you have

5183
07:12:50,330 --> 07:12:47,520
to do a little bit about stem engagement

5184
07:12:52,610 --> 07:12:50,340
here so how did you engage the stem

5185
07:12:55,250 --> 07:12:52,620
student yeah so actually

5186
07:12:57,230 --> 07:12:55,260
cool things that we do

5187
07:13:00,230 --> 07:12:57,240
that we did their parents work at the

5188
07:13:02,030 --> 07:13:00,240
gymnasium and so they went and worked

5189
07:13:05,510 --> 07:13:02,040
with a whole bunch of the younger kids

5190
07:13:08,150 --> 07:13:05,520
who are in gymnastics and were working

5191
07:13:09,770 --> 07:13:08,160
with them on how Aerospace and all of

5192
07:13:11,448 --> 07:13:09,780
these different principles apply to

5193
07:13:12,890 --> 07:13:11,458
something they love which is gymnastics

5194
07:13:14,448 --> 07:13:12,900
so all of those different things and

5195
07:13:17,090 --> 07:13:14,458
talking to them about how we design

5196
07:13:18,650 --> 07:13:17,100
stuff and all kinds of math and

5197
07:13:20,510 --> 07:13:18,660
everything I love that and because

5198
07:13:22,610 --> 07:13:20,520
you're inspiring the Next Generation and

5199
07:13:25,010 --> 07:13:22,620
you guys are the next Artemis generation

5200
07:13:27,410 --> 07:13:25,020
this we could have future astronauts

5201
07:13:29,090 --> 07:13:27,420
coming through through here you know and

5202
07:13:31,610 --> 07:13:29,100
tell me a little bit about your Rover

5203
07:13:33,230 --> 07:13:31,620
you don't get to space without having a

5204
07:13:34,548 --> 07:13:33,240
little bit of creativity what some of

5205
07:13:36,890 --> 07:13:34,558
the things that you guys did to make

5206
07:13:39,708 --> 07:13:36,900
your Rover creative so like I said

5207
07:13:42,350 --> 07:13:39,718
earlier it was it was 90 to 95 designed

5208
07:13:44,090 --> 07:13:42,360
by us so I can speak personally to this

5209
07:13:47,110 --> 07:13:44,100
because I was actually the cad lead for

5210
07:13:50,090 --> 07:13:47,120
this so a lot of it was putting it into

5211
07:13:52,510 --> 07:13:50,100
various simulations and figuring out how

5212
07:13:55,850 --> 07:13:52,520
things would work these wheels are 100

5213
07:13:58,788 --> 07:13:55,860
designed by us those those pieces that

5214
07:14:02,570 --> 07:13:58,798
you see were were mathematically created

5215
07:14:04,010 --> 07:14:02,580
by us so it was a lot of figuring out

5216
07:14:06,650 --> 07:14:04,020
how to apply the things that we learned

5217
07:14:08,090 --> 07:14:06,660
in class to the real world yeah and you

5218
07:14:09,890 --> 07:14:08,100
know you always say when am I ever going

5219
07:14:11,570 --> 07:14:09,900
to use this well now you're using it

5220
07:14:13,490 --> 07:14:11,580
right yeah

5221
07:14:15,708 --> 07:14:13,500
and you don't get here without a little

5222
07:14:17,270 --> 07:14:15,718
bit of help from sponsors parents other

5223
07:14:20,030 --> 07:14:17,280
people like that is there anyone you'd

5224
07:14:21,770 --> 07:14:20,040
like to thank honestly uh first of all

5225
07:14:24,230 --> 07:14:21,780
I'd love to thank our school in general

5226
07:14:25,850 --> 07:14:24,240

5238
07:15:59,940 --> 07:17:14,890
let's finish

5239
07:17:14,900 --> 07:19:36,770
I can't see it

5240
07:19:36,780 --> 07:20:45,530
oh

5241
07:20:45,540 --> 07:20:53,590
foreign

5242
07:20:59,270 --> 07:20:56,570
now we have Auburn University with us

5243
07:21:01,850 --> 07:20:59,280
and tell me your name and tell me how

5244
07:21:03,230 --> 07:21:01,860
yesterday went my name is Charles ranero

5245
07:21:04,730 --> 07:21:03,240
uh

5246
07:21:09,230 --> 07:21:04,740
we

5247
07:21:10,270 --> 07:21:09,240
constant issues with the tension in the

5248
07:21:13,788 --> 07:21:10,280
belts

5249
07:21:16,070 --> 07:21:13,798
and we spent all day yesterday after we

5250
07:21:18,830 --> 07:21:16,080
were done working on that and all day

5251
07:21:20,570 --> 07:21:18,840
today and then uh the reason we're

5252
07:21:22,368 --> 07:21:20,580
competing a little bit later than our

5253
07:21:24,708 --> 07:21:22,378
scheduled start time is because we had

5254
07:21:26,990 --> 07:21:24,718
some unexpected last minute issues with

5255
07:21:28,910 --> 07:21:27,000
that front axle so we were able to get

5256
07:21:31,730 --> 07:21:28,920
that figured out and we feel moderately

5257
07:21:33,890 --> 07:21:31,740
confident right now so yeah okay you

5258
07:21:35,750 --> 07:21:33,900
can't giggle about that all right now

5259
07:21:37,250 --> 07:21:35,760
tell me your name and tell me any uh

5260
07:21:38,448 --> 07:21:37,260
different strategies for today I know

5261
07:21:39,948 --> 07:21:38,458
yesterday was a lot of just sort of

5262
07:21:42,708 --> 07:21:39,958
getting the lay of the land

5263
07:21:43,910 --> 07:21:42,718
my name is Emily Broome and our strategy

5264
07:21:46,250 --> 07:21:43,920
today we're really just trying to

5265
07:21:47,868 --> 07:21:46,260
prioritize task number one yesterday we

5266
07:21:49,250 --> 07:21:47,878
pulled up to it to try to attempt it and

5267
07:21:50,628 --> 07:21:49,260
we were too far away so we're gonna try

5268
07:21:52,670 --> 07:21:50,638
to really get over left so that way we

5269
07:21:54,830 --> 07:21:52,680
can reach it and try to get our points

5270
07:21:57,110 --> 07:21:54,840
there and then if we get stuck on any

5271
07:21:58,910 --> 07:21:57,120
obstacles our plan just to get out and

5272
07:22:00,708 --> 07:21:58,920
pull ourselves over quickly to eliminate

5273
07:22:02,750 --> 07:22:00,718
that uh waste of time we had yesterday

5274
07:22:07,810 --> 07:22:02,760
awesome and I hear you're gonna start

5275
07:22:07,820 --> 07:22:22,250
