Lunabotics had a blast at competition this week! 🚀 Our team competed at the qualification event at UCF and placed 24/51 teams overall. While we did not compete in the finals this year, we walked away with a massive amount of insight to help us make our Lunabotics team even better for future years.

Our team learned an incredible amount from this experience. We love the challenge of this program, and we are already bursting with ideas to build better, more competitive systems.

Thank you endlessly to the judges and volunteers who make this competition possible, and to our fellow Lunabotics teams. You make this program worth every moment, and your energy and sportsmanship this week was phenomenal.

As a final note, thank you to our University, our CSE community, our industry sponsors, and our entire Minnesota Robotics community! You make this experience possible, and we are happy to call you our peers.

(Stay tuned for more trip updates! We are currently en route back to Minnesota 😁)

Meet our 2026 NASA Lunabotics bot, Peanut Butter! 🥜🌕

Our Lunabotics team has arrived at the University of Central Florida and is competing today! The top 10 teams from the qualifying competition will go on to compete at the Kennedy Space Center. We have runs on 5/15 and 5/17 at 11:20AM EST. Tune in to see our work from this year!

NASA Lunabotics is a robotic mining competition, with focuses on systems engineering and autonomy. The goal is to promote and inspire the new generation of lunar permanence and space exploration, and get students involved along the way. Our robot this year was named by a 4th grader at one of our outreach schools!
