Competition DNA

Every mission in RoveSoSimulator is modeled after actual University Rover Challenge tasks; the same ones that took MRDT to be World Champions.

🌍
Photorealistic URC Terrain

Explore vast Martian landscapes built in Unreal Engine 5 using Nanite and Lumen, real-time global illumination, dynamic dust storms, and surface detail drawn from USGS LiDAR imagery.

True-to-Life Rover Physics

Drive the actual rover geometry used by MRDT. The mantis suspension, wheel slip on loose regolith, and center-of-mass dynamics are modeled to match the real hardware built at Missouri S&T.
