By Adam JonesUniversity of Alabama
NASA’s annual robotics challenge presents a new problem for college students to solve, and students at the University of Alabama hope their solution can win the contest for a fourth straight year.
Made up of about 65 students from across eight disciplines including engineering and computer science, Alabama Astrobotics is the only team to win more than once in the eight-year history of the NASA Robotic Mining Competition, placing first in 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
