Google Lunar X Prize: $30 Million - CEans are you game?

[ice111]

why this thread is dead, no one planing anymore?

[ash]

Unfortunately we don't have enough resources, active members nor experience at the moment to pursue constructing a Lunar robot. Heck, we havent even finished a CE collaborated project yet. In this light, we have planned to do a more modest project called CE Bot. Please contribute if possible. Every little bit helps

Check here: CE Project: CE Bot

It can be done. It will be done. The question is, When do we start??

I hope you are referring to the CE Bot I'm quite surprised not many CEans are interested in joining the project. If we manage to complete it (or at least complete most of the objectives), it shows we can successfully collaborate with each other, opening the doors to other projects

At the moment, the project pages are still under construction:
celab.tk (used the URL redirection cause the actual link is too long to remember)

We will continue discussions here:
CE Project: CE Bot
Please do contribute You don't need special permission to join. No matter what engineering discipline you are, you can contribute your ideas!

Robotics and Mechatronics starts as a subject in my course from the next sem. I may join an institute which teaches this subject in my summer vacations. I am game for the project and will provide all help I can. And what about this Google Lunar X?? Are you all making something in it? If yes then you can count on me to join. I like working on projects. It is an addiction of some kind.

I too think we should try for GLXP, make a team of CEans, but I still don't know how many active users are of CE to see how many can join.

As far resources are concerned, we can ask help from any companies and libraries for reference.

If we see Amsat, man they do a lot and have lot of active members, why cant we.

I admire your enthusiasm I wish all our 10K members ar like you! But if you see our other projects, we are plagued with inconsistent commitments as well as coordination issues. We dont have the critical mass of active members to get the ball rolling for anything.

The CE Bot was done to layout the framework on proper coordination and collaboration online. If you see our objectives, it almost parallels one of a lunar robot (except for the launch ): A bot that can traverse over rough surfaces, contain a camera and other sensors, wireless transmission from bot to a host computer, etc. Lets start at the basics and work our way up.
