1.1. The European Rover Challenge (ERC) is a contest for Student Teams. A Student Team has to design and build a Martian rover analogue and use that rover to complete various Tasks at a designated location. To be eligible, a Team must design and build their own rover, but off-the-shelf components are allowed. The Challenge Tasks take place before an audience. The Challenge is meant to give the participants a chance to expand their knowledge of Martian exploration and provide valuable professional experience, while also popularizing the topic among the wider public, including the Challenge audience. The European Rover Challenge is organized by Mars Society Polska, a Polish non-governmental organization, also referred to as the Organizer. The ERC is held in Poland. The date and location at which Challenge Tasks will be performed is provided by the Organizer on the Challenge website, together with the Rules, but in a separate communication. The website address is: www.roverchallenge.eu The Challenge lasts three days. On the first day, Teams must register at the Challenge location and may test their rovers on site, before the field tasks.
On the first day, representatives of each Team must register with the Organizer staff at the designated location (see 1.3.) before 10:00 AM local time. Field tasks are held on the second and third day, according to a detailed schedule, to be announced by the Organizer reasonably in advance and provided on the Challenge website. The non-field Presentation Task is held at some point during that three day period. The exact scheduling will be announced by the Organizer. On the third day, at the end of the Challenge, Team total scores are computed, winners announced and awards given.

The Challenge Location, the location where field tasks are held, will be landscaped artificially specifically for the Challenge. The soil will be mainly sandy, non-cohesive, with occasional hardened patches. Low-growing vegetation will be present. The rover should be built to handle such terrain in late Polish summer or early autumn weather conditions, including appropriate dust resistance and a temperature tolerance of at least 5 to 30 degrees Celsius. It should also be able to handle drizzle or light rain, since the tasks may take place in such conditions. In the event of a heavy rainfall, the field tasks will be transferred to an area sheltered by a special tent structure and the Organizer will modify the tasks accordingly. Should an extremely heavy downpour occur, such that provisions for heavy rainfall will be insufficient, the Organizer may, at their sole discretion,

interrupt or shorten the Challenge. This may include computing the total scores and selecting the winner without completing all of the planned tasks. Should it happen that all the Challenge tasks will be cancelled, no awards will be given. 1.7. Teams will control their rovers from rover control areas designated for them on site, in the base tent. The areas will be set up so that Team Members will not see their rover during the tasks. Each Team can send an Observer, who will be allowed to follow the rover at a safe distance to ensure the machines basic safety, but the Observer will not be allowed to communicate with the Team Members in the control area. The Organizer furnishes each rover control space with tables, chairs, and a power strip with four 230V, 50Hz standard Polish sockets. The spaces will be numbered and assigned to Teams through a draw. The Teams will draw area numbers once, before the Challenge begins, for the whole duration of the contest. The exact time (equal for all Teams) allotted for each task will be specified by the Organizer on site. In general, each Team will have approximately 30-40 minutes to complete each task. A detailed schedule will be provided on the first day of the Challenge.

1.10. Points will be shown on a dedicated scoreboard after each task and on the Challenge website. 1.11. The Challenge Jury consists of a number of specialists selected by the Organizer. While judging the Challenge the Jury acts independently of the Organizer, but they will adhere to the schedule provided.

2.1. The 2014 edition of the Challenge is planned for a maximum of 12 Student Teams. The Organizer and the Challenge Jury will choose which of the registered Teams are allowed to field their rover at the Challenge. The choice will be made based on Reports that the Teams are required to send to the Organizer some time before the Challenge proper. The Reports required are described in detail in section 5. The deadline for their submission is July 30th 2014. The Organizer will announce which Teams have qualified for the Challenge proper by August 7th 2014. Team initiation in the Challenge includes two stages: Letter of Intent and Team Registration.

2.3.

Letter of Intent is an e-mail sent by the team initiator to the following e-mail address: erc@marssociety.pl, with a subject LOI + proposed Team name. The Team initiator is not obliged to be a part of the final Team nor to fulfill the eligibility criteria. The e-mail must be sent between January 15th 2014 and April 30th 2014 and must include: team initiators name and contact, proposed Team name, country and city, and 3 sentences explaining the reasons for proposing the Team to the Challenge. Teams can send the LOI e-mail on the same date as the Team Registration e-mail or completely skip the LOI e-mail. Sending LOI e-mail as soon as possible entitles the team to get organization support from the Organizer and allows better preparation of the Challenge. Team Registration will be open from January 15th 2014 till April 30th 2014. Registration details must be sent to the Organizer in English, to the following email address: erc@marssociety.pl. The Team Registration e-mail must include: Name of the higher education institution with which the Team is affiliated (if the Team is affiliated with more than one institution, please list all the names, in descending order of involvement) Team name Rover name (may be the same as Team name) Approximate number of Team Members who plan on coming to the Challenge (i.e. appearing on site) Team Coordinator name and surname, telephone number and e-mail address Team website address The following declaration, in English: By sending this message and registering the Team to the European Rover Challenge we fully accept all terms and provisions of the European Rover Challenge Rules and all final decisions of the European Rover Challenge Organizer.

Student Teams must consist of higher education students and recent graduates only. Specifically: undergraduate and graduate Masters-degree level students (with no limitations), doctoral students (optionally, but no more than half the Team), and graduates who have received their Bachelor or Masters level diplomas in the calendar year in which the Challenge is held. Teams may ask their institutions faculty for help, but must prepare and sign all the required rover documentation themselves. A Team may consist of students of more than one higher education institution. An institution may also affiliate more than one Team. Team membership is exclusive each person can be a Member of only one Team. Each Team Member is required to pay a registration fee of 10 Euro. The Fee must be transferred to the bank account specified on the Challenge Website by 31.05.2014 or paid in cash during Team Registration, at the Challenge location. Members who do not pay the required fee will not be allowed to participate directly in the Challenge. There is, however, no limitation on the number of

persons who may support a team from their institutions campus or otherwise connect with them remotely. No registration fee is required from such persons. 2.8. Each Team Member will be issued an ID with the following details: 2.9. Name and surname Team name Academic affiliation (name of their higher education institution).

Each rover may cost at most 15 000 Euro. If expenses are paid in another currency, the exchange rate from September 1st 2014 will apply. The cost limit applies to payments for rover parts, equipment and any paid work done on the project (e.g. paid services, paid work hours). It does not include tools, volunteer work and team travel expenses. Teams may have sponsors or donors who provide them with money, tools, parts or equipment. Such donations and sponsorships must be properly documented and included in the rover cost balance. If a Team receives tools, parts, equipment or any other asset that is not cash, standard market value must be used when calculating its worth.

/"#$%&#012&3#
3.1. The rover has to be a stand-alone, mobile platform. No cables or tethers will be allowed for connection to external sources during its operation. Challenge Tasks are independent. Teams will be permitted to change rover configuration between tasks. A certain amount of time will be scheduled in between tasks to allow Teams to modify, repair and optimize their rovers. The weight limit for the rover during a Task is 50 kilograms. The limit applies to every Task (i.e. task-relevant rover configuration) separately. Equipment used for rover maintenance and preparation, unused spare parts, and elements not mounted during a particular Task are not included in this limit. A separate limit of 20 kilograms applies to all spare energy sources and rover equipment that is not mounted during a particular Task (combined). There is no weight limit on equipment used to steer and control the rover from the rover control area, communications equipment in that area, or maintenance equipment. If the relevant weight limits are not reached, a point will be added to the score for every kilogram of weight not used. If a limit is exceeded, two points will be subtracted for every kilogram. For scoring purposes, kilograms will be rounded upwards. Rover autonomy is not required but bonus points will be awarded for it in one of the Tasks. The rover should be radio controlled, in real time. Each Task will require the rover to travel a certain distance, but never more than 0.5 kilometers

from the starting point. The starting point will be no farther than 20 meters from the base tent. 3.5. Radio communication with the rover must use legally available frequencies and legal power levels. A more detailed description of the relevant norms will be provided separately on the Challenge Website. All rovers should be capable of additionally carrying a small camera with a video transmitter and a power source, which may be provided by the Organizer. Video from such a camera will be used to show the rovers progress to the audience. Camera specification and mounting method will be described separately on the Challenge Website.

4.1. Science Task sample retrieval (100 points) 4.1.1. During this task, the rover must obtain three samples, each from a different location selected by the Organizer, and transport them back to the base tent. The rover should have three sample containers mounted. Teams are not required to follow the sample extraction method suggested in the Rules. After the rover returns to the base tent, each sample will be weighted and the team will have to prepare sample descriptions, to be used in the Presentation Task (see 4.5.). The descriptions should be reasonably concise and list the information the sample can provide to Mars researchers. There is no special limit on the time in which the sample description write-up has to be completed. 4.1.2. The first sample should be a piece of rock (a stone), weighing at least 150 grams. For every full 10 grams less, a point will be subtracted from the relevant score pool. Suggested extraction method: grip. 4.1.3. The second sample should be a piece of loose surface soil, weighing at least 200 grams. For every full 10 grams less, a point will be subtracted from the relevant score pool. Suggested extraction method: scoop. 4.1.4. The third sample should be a piece of deeper soil, extracted from a layer at least 15 centimeters below the surface. Judges will verify sampling depth based on the samples color (soil color will differ depending on depth), according to a reference key. The sample should weigh at least 25 grams. For every full 1 gram less, a point will be subtracted from the relevant score pool. Suggested extraction method: drill.

4.1.5. Points will be awarded for: 4.1.6. Bonus To gain bonus points for this Task, the Team must send a photo of a sample location to two different places: their affiliated higher education institution and an off-site Mission Control location (this will be chosen no later than 30 days before the Challenge proper and described on the Challenge Website). The photo must be sent via the Internet while the Team is completing the Task, either directly, from the rover itself, or from the base tent. Successful receipt must be proven recipients (i.e. someone at the Teams affiliated institution and at Mission Control) must send a screenshot of the e-mail they received to erc_bonus@marssociety.pl. The screenshot will be checked by the Judges. Photos of each sampling location will be worth 20 bonus points, totaling at 60 bonus points (for all three locations). Arrival at first sampling site or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. First sample extraction 5 points. Arrival at second sampling site or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. Second sample extraction 5 points. Arrival at third sampling site or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. Third sample extraction 10 points. Return to base tent location before task time ends 5 points. Sample #1 score pool: sample #1 has correct weight 15 points. Sample #2 score pool: sample #2 has correct weight 20 points. Sample #3 score pool: sample #3 has correct weight 25 points.

4.2. Terrain Traversal Task blind traversal (100 points) 4.2.1. In this Task, teams must guide their rovers to specific locations, by a partly planned route, with no input from rover cameras, relying solely on the rovers navigation system. At the start of the Task the teams will be issued a set of location coordinates in a hddd.ddddd format (e.g. N 50.78313 x E 20.46409). This format for location coordinates will be the only one used throughout the Task. Teams must then guide their rovers to the first, second and third location, in that order. Teams can choose any route they wish when leading the rover from the first location to the second one, but the route from the second to the third location has to be an almost straight line. Arrival at a location will be considered successful, if the rovers position differs by no more than 0.00001 from the coordinates given, both in latitude and longitude. 4.2.2. After arriving at the start gate and positioning the rover properly, i.e. facing the Task terrain, Teams must turn off their rover camera signal transmission. From that point on they may rely only on a navigation system that provides numerical coordinates or shows the rovers position on a virtual map. The Teams may use

F!

other non-standard position visualization methods, but any such method cannot use visual data from the rover (including modified or vectorized data). Only data from a GPS or similar system can be used during this Task. Teams must allow the Judges to view their rover position data throughout the Task. 4.2.3. A Judge and an Observer (Team Member, see 1.7.) will follow the rover. If rover comes too close to the border of the designated Task area, the Judge ask the Team to stop the rover and the Observer will be asked to turn machine around, Task terrain inwards, and, if possible, at right angles to border the rover was about to cross. the will the the

4.2.4. In the part where traversal in a straight line is required, the result will be verified as follows: coordinates registered by the rover during traversal from the second to the third location will be checked against the coordinates of points on a hypothetical straight line between the two locations. Traversal in a straight line will be considered successful only, if the actual rover coordinates differ from the hypothetical coordinates by no more than 0.00002. For verification purposes, teams must record at least five sets of coordinates (five points) between the second and the third location, each with a difference of at least 0.00006 in latitude and longitude. 4.2.5. Points will be awarded for: Traversal to the first location 15 points. Traversal to the second location 15 points. Traversal from the second to third location in a sufficiently straight line 50 points. Traversal from the second to third location not in a straight line 15 points. Return to base tent location before task time ends 20 points.

4.2.6. Bonus #1 To gain bonus points from this bonus point pool, the Team must send the coordinates of the three main traversal locations to two different places: their affiliated higher education institution and an off-site Mission Control location (this will be chosen no later than 30 days before the Challenge proper and described on the Challenge Website). The coordinates must be sent via the Internet while the Team is completing the Task, either directly, from the rover itself, or from the base tent. Furthermore, for the Team to gain maximum bonus points, a person at the Teams affiliated institution has to mark the points indicated by the coordinates on a map generated by a dedicated piece of software. Successful receipt and use of the coordinates must be proven someone at the Teams affiliated institution must send a screenshot of the coordinates they received or a properly marked map to the e-mail erc_bonus@marssociety.pl, and the same will be done for the coordinates received by Mission Control. The e-mails will be checked by the Judges.

Bonus points awarded: Coordinates successfully sent to both the institution and Mission Control 20 bonus points. Coordinates successfully used to mark three points on a map, via dedicated software 20 bonus points.

4.2.7. Bonus #2 If the rover operates autonomously during traversal from the second to the third location, the Team will be awarded 50 bonus points. However, judges must be informed about the attempt at an autonomous traversal before the Task begins. 4.2.8. Bonus #3 If Galileo positioning application is creatively proposed and efficiently used instead of GPS or other systems, the team will receive 30 bonus points.

4.3. Maintenance Task the reactor (100 points) 4.3.1. During this Task, the Teams have to use their rovers to operate two devices, located at some distance from the base tent. One of the devices is a mock-up reactor for the bases life support system and the other is the reactor control panel. The objectives: get the life support reactor working again and measure its power parameters. Teams must use (with the rovers arms) a set of switches to start the reactor and measure the current and voltage on the reactor panel terminals. The reactor will start working again only, if all the switches are in the correct positions. 4.3.2. To measure reactor voltage and current, the Team will first have to successfully turn the reactor on and then turn on an additional switch on the reactor panel. The exact reactor power parameters will be announced before the Task begins, but the voltage will be in a 0-30 volts range and the charge in a 0-2 amps range. The terminals on which the measurement is to be conducted will be two pins of a standard European AC 230V 50Hz power plug. To be considered successful, the measurement must have an error of at most 0.5 volt and 0.01 amp. 4.3.3. The correct switch setting to run the reactor will be different for each Team and will be announced right before the Task begins. The order in which the switches are turned on will not matter. However, if a wrong switch is accidentally turned on together with the right switch, that part will be considered unsuccessful. To turn such a switch on successfully, the Team will have to switch off the wrong switch first, then switch the right switch off and on again. The switches will be standard, industrial-grade elements, set in an industrial-grade casing, placed somewhere between 0.2 and 1.5 meter above ground level.

4.3.4. Points will be awarded for: 4.3.5. Bonus To gain bonus points for this Task, the Team must send the voltage and current measurements to two different places: their affiliated higher education institution and an off-site Mission Control location (this will be chosen no later than 30 days before the Challenge proper and described on the Challenge Website). The data must be sent via the Internet while the Team is completing the Task, either directly, from the rover itself, or from the base tent. Successful receipt of the data must be proven recipients (i.e. someone at the Teams affiliated institution and at Mission Control) must send the measurements they received to erc_bonus@marssociety.pl. The e-mail will be checked by the Judges. Arrival at the reactor location or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. Turning on the required switches 10 points per switch, 4 switches, 40 points total. Arrival at the reactor panel location or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. Turning on the power measurement switch 10 points. Voltage measurement 10 points. Voltage measurement being correct 5 points. Current measurement 10 points. Current measurement being correct 5 points. Return to base tent location before task time ends 10 points.

Award: If both measurements are sent to two locations each 20 bonus points.

4.4. Assistance Task emergency repairs (100 points) 4.4.1. During this Task, the Teams have to use the rover to obtain a spare part from storage and transport it to the repair site. 4.4.2. The spare part will be irregular in shape but will have a protruding handle. The handle will be at least 30 millimeters in diameter and at least 100 millimeters long. One of the sides of the spare part will be flat and will be considered its base. The part will have to be placed on that side at the repair site. 4.4.3. Points will be awarded for: Arrival at the spare part storage or within at least 2 meters of it 5 points. Grasping the spare part by the handle and holding it for at least 10 seconds 30 points. Only touching the spare part, with no successful grasping 5 points. Arrival at the repair site or within at least 2 meters of it, with the spare part

20 points. Arrival at the repair site or within at least 2 meters of it, without the spare part 5 points. Placing the spare part at the repair site, correctly 35 points. Placing the spare part at the repair site, incorrectly (i.e. not on its base) 5 points. Return to base tent location before task time ends 10 points.

4.5. Presentation Task (100 points) 4.5.1. During this Task, the Teams have to present their rover and some of the results of its work (see section 4.1.1.) to the Judges. Each presentation should last 15 minutes. Teams will be given access to a projector. The presentation must be conducted in English. The Judges will individually, subjectively grade a number of components of the presentation. An average will then be computed for each component, with the result rounded down do the nearest full number. The total Team score for this task will be the sum of averages for all the presentation components. 4.5.2. Each presentation should have, and will be graded for, the following components: Team introduction and brief Team Member descriptions. Judges will grade Team skill dynamics (skill distribution between Team Members) max. 10 points. Description of the rover and preparations for the Challenge. Judges will grade how the Team managed the project max. 20 points. Comparison of intended rover design (documentation) with the results, i.e. actual rover parameters max. 20 points.
