About the Game

RoveSoSimulator is a custom-built rover simulator created by the Mars Rover Design Team at Missouri S&T to test and refine their real-world prototype Mars Rover. Developed as an engineering tool rather than a traditional game, it models the same systems and constraints the team faces when competing at the University Rover Challenge, where they brought home the world title from URC 2025.

Inside RoveSoSimulator, you drive a competition-grade Mars Rover through realistic challenge scenarios inspired by URC tasks: autonomous navigation, obstacle fields, and precise manipulation. Whether you are an aspiring robotics engineer, a space enthusiast, or a fan of the Missouri S&T Mars Rover Design Team, RoveSoSimulator offers a unique window into the engineering behind a world‑champion Mars rover.
