Northeastern Mars Rover Team

"Our team is composed of students from a variety of majors, including engineering, computer science, and life science. We are made up of 50+ undergraduate students and compete in the University Rover Challenge (URC) and the Canadian International Rover Challenge (CIRC). Our rover is capable of driving autonomously, operating wirelessly up to 2km away, and manipulating objects using its custom arm and 15 cameras. In 2025, our rover, Watney Mark VI, placed 3rd at URC and 4th at CIRC!NURover works extensively in our local Boston community, conducting 20+ major outreach events each year with partners ranging from Northeastern’s Center for STEM to Roxbury Robotics to Boston’s Museum of Science. We consider regular community outreach central to our mission and we plan to keep increasing the number of events we organize each year."

"Having an Altium sponsorship will significantly improve our ability to share design files, resulting in stronger collaboration and increased productivity across our teams."
