SEDS-Earth is organizing a design competition in conjunction with the 2007 SEDS International Conference (http://earth.seds.org/sedsic) at the Vellore Institute of Technology in India. Participants will design a series of miniature lunar rovers with a total mass of less than 20kg; see the official rules (http://wiki.seds.org/index.php/SEDSIC2007_Design_Competition) on SEDSWiki. The grand prize is a half-tuition scholarship to the International Space University (http://www.isunet.edu).

Hi Nishant, I have some answers to your questions:
First i would like to know How Many rovers can i include in my design?
You can include as many as you want, but the minimum is two. However, you should explain why you chose your number of rovers.
Second: what kind of energy source should it have? Can it be of any kind?
It can be of any kind.
Third: Can it have all four wheel drive rover in all directions?
Yes. Or it can not have wheels at all.
