Zenith

Overview

Zenith saw the electrical and tele-communications side of the rover completely redesigned, and with it came the RoveComm communications protocol. Along with that redesign, Zenith was the first of our rovers with a fully composite frame, with a design that iterated on the Phoenix platform, like Horizon had before it. At competition, Zenith landed an exciting first place finish in the Phobos Division.
