Competition Date Announcement

We are pleased to announce today that the 2008 Regolith Excavation Challenge will take place August 2 and 3, 2008 in the Engineering Plaza on the campus of California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. We would like to thank the Cal Poly College of Engineering for their efforts to make this a reality.

In addition, we have decided to extend the "Early Bird" registration deadline back by two weeks to January 15. This is to allow extra time for teams that may have been waiting for this announcement before registering.

Can you provide JSC-1A samples to registered teams?

We are not able to do this, but JSC-1A can be obtained from Planet LLC. Their web address is http://www.planet-llc.com/pages/products/simulant.htm

Can you help our team get sponsors?

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide this service. It would be virtually impossible for us to maintain impartiality.

Is US Citizenship a requirement for participation?

According to the Team Agreement, the Team Leader, if an individual, must be a US citizen or permanent resident of the US. If a company, must have its primary place of business in the US. Team Members must also meet the same criteria. The team is not required to pass these requirements down to sponsors or contractors who are not team leaders nor team members.

Is one individual allowed to register more than once?

Yes, please see the Team Agreement for details.

Team Registration Open!
