[Our features]
Our rover had several features.
At first rover was put small parachute in order to land nearer point from the target point.
Secondly, rover had servo motor to get over tracks even though track's height is 8cm. Finally, we didn't install communication system and this made rover's system simpler.
We had faced a lots kind of problems during developing rover. That made us think we'd like to win the first prize
[Result]
Rover was founded from 5.8km away from the target point after launch. We got position data from emission to landing in ROM, but rover didn't move after landing. Something was wrong with circuit and micro computer because of landing shock.
And some cracks were found on the wheel.
We had chance to launch our rover once more. There was no time to sleep after arriving desert because of experiments on the desert ground and maintenance.
But every one checked all systems several times again and again without sleeping. We needed some results deserving of our efforts.
Rover landed 7.2km away from target point. No system started after landing.
[After launch]
We tried to develop simpler system when we started this project, because we thought this makes rover stronger and reliable vehicle.
After all, rover became complicated because of many connecters and wirings.
This caused lots of problems before launch.
We'd like to put this experience to next year.
