Ambition is shared.
Engineering is too.
We are a student rover team at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Saudi Arabia. Different disciplines, brought together by the same curiosity.

BM++LEARNING BY BUILDING
More than a collection of parts.
Our project brings mechanical design, power systems, embedded control and software together. We are working toward a rover that can traverse challenging terrain, manipulate objects and perform selected tasks with autonomous operation.
We organise our work around a shared rover design. Each engineering committee develops its subsystem, while system integration coordinates the interfaces, requirements and verification needed to bring the rover together.
Our work is currently focused on design review, component selection and integration planning. We treat fabrication and testing as the next steps in proving the design.
The committees behind it+01 / OUR APPROACH
Ask. Design. Build. Verify.
Each stage turns an idea into something the whole team can examine, improve and eventually test.
02CURRENT FOCUS
Design
Develop and review the mechanical, electrical and software architecture together.
03
Build and integrate
Plan fabrication and connect subsystems through staged checks.
04
Verify
Test requirements and document evidence before mission trials.
+THE NEXT HORIZON
From Saudi Arabia.
Toward ARCh 2027.
The Australian Rover Challenge brings student teams together to develop rovers for simulated exploration tasks. We are preparing around Post-Landing, Site Preparation, and Excavation & Autonomy. These are intended task areas, subject to team readiness and competition review.
