# Innovators Dig Deep in NASA’s Robotic Mining Competition siD4mNuTL-8

Resources that future explorers could use to make rocket fuel, life support or building materials, are just below the surface of the Moon, Mars or other alien ground. Low-mass, high-performance and fully autonomous machines can bring these possibilities to the surface. Teams of college-level students from across the nation will put their excavator robots to the test during NASA’s 2018 Robotic Mining Competition. Catch the action May 16-18 at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. www.facebook.com/RoboticMiningCompetition/
