Like since forever... Nothing much to write. Okay - here is something to think about:
http://www.landerchallenge.com.
Some discussion with friends/colleagues regarding the project. I'm thinking zip-zap type cars for the "rover".
The trick is meeting the criteria of
1) 185 feet altitude
2) navigating to 100 feet from launch area.
Stats I find for the zip-zap suggest it can hold a charge for 5 minutes, and go... 45 feet. So the landing has to be in a 45 foot radius from the target. Not impossible, but tricky.
