Intrepid Systems Team member Mark Curry,
right, answers questions from 8th grade Sullivan Middle School (Mass.) students
about his robot named "MXR - Mark's Exploration Robot" on Friday,
June 15, 2012, at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Mass.
Curry's robot team will compete for a $1.5 million NASA prize in the NASA-WPI
Sample Return Robot Centennial Challenge at WPI. Teams have been challenged to
build autonomous robots that can identify, collect and return samples. NASA
needs autonomous robotic capability for future planetary exploration.
