The 2011 Moonbots Competition (Moonbots 2.0) is conducted in two phases. In the first phase, teams have to produce and submit a 4-minute Video Essay and a 1-page Funding Proposal. The top 20 teams from Phase I advance to the second phase where they have to design and build a Lego Mindstorms robot to fulfill specific missions. The Moonbots 2.0 competition has a number of rules, that need to be read and internalized by all members of the team. While is it best to read them all yourself, highlights are set forth below. The official rules have numerous formatting and numbering errors. You can find a corrected version (reflecting what the rules probably are) under the resources page.
