About Frequently Asked Questions

Questions not answered in the rules, and that do not require a change to the rules document are posted here along with their answers. Most of these are either clarifications to the rules, explanations of the rationale behind a rule, or pertain to the logistics of conducting the competition event.

This site uses a taxonomy system that allows for content to be tagged according to subject matter. Clicking on one of the tags displays other content with the same tag. This allows for more dynamic and flexible categorization than typically found in a book like document structure. Clicking the “FAQ” menu link will always show all of the FAQ related content.

Passed the 10 team mark!

More than ten teams have now submitted team registration packages. They come from a variety of backgrounds, including university, industry and DIY. I was able to highlight a couple of the early submitters in an article for the upcoming SpaceBound! Newsletter. Also, each of the four competitors who made it to the sandbox in 2007 have either submitted their registrations or are in the process of doing so. I would like to share that the staff here is getting excited about this competition and the interest it is generating.

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.
