## Resource

Missouri S&T’s Mars Rover Team just crushed it again—winning their second straight world championship at the University Rover Challenge in Hanksville, Utah. Their rover, Athena, nailed four tough missions and earned top design honors, scoring an eye-popping 469.57 out of 500, far ahead of the pack. Competing against 37 global teams—including Japan, South Korea, and Italy—they outperformed last year’s score too, proving their grit and innovation. Built outside the classroom by passionate students, the rover conquered sand, rocks, steep slopes, and even vertical drops—with parts operating fully autonomously. This isn’t just a win—it’s proof that these students are building the future, one rover at a time.
