Great work, man. However, maybe we should extend the deadline a little
1 week is a little to soon given the relatively low activity here. How about 2?
I've got number of different ideas. But since we MIGHT have some interest with the Google Lunar X challenge, here's my initial draft.
1.
The bot will be a rover-like vehicle, able to traverse over rough surfaces to get from point A to B. It'll be able to detect objects with the use of image-processing and other proximity sensors. Cameras will be used to record data and wirelessly transmit data to a computer.
On the computer, the data can be processed to create some kinda terrain map. 3D perhaps?
The bot itself can be autonomous or remote control. If autonomous, the bot detects some beacon at point B and goes to it while avoiding obstacles (obstructions, holes, traps?) and taking data.
The size is relatively small, maybe the footprint would not be larger than a standard magazine.
So, with that, we have all sorts of engineering disciplines involved. I'll update it once I get more ideas.
