Mission Mars

Mission Mars
Challenge Number	6
Released In	2003
Teams	4331[1]

Mission Mars was the 2003-04 challenge theme of FIRST Lego League. It revolved around the NASA missions to Mars^[2] with the Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

Project

Teams were tasked with choosing a mission model, researching a question about it, and finding a creative solution.^[3] Then teams shared their project with the community and with judges at competition.^[2]

Gameplay

The table performance portion of Mission Mars is played on a 4 ft by 8 ft field rimmed by wood boards. At competition, two of these fields are placed together to form an 8 ft square. In each 2 1/2 minute match, a team competes on each field with their robot to earn points manipulating the mission models.

One of the mission models, the Habitat, straddles both fields in the center. This model can earn points for both teams when the two halves are pushed together.

Home base was unusual this year; usually base is a square region set in the corner of the field. For Mission Mars, the robot started on a fold-out platform (to emulate the Mars Rovers) sitting in a triangular base.
