3. Northeastern Mars Rover Team (Northeastern University, USA) - 362.42 points

A record 114 teams from 15 countries began the year competing in URC2025. In March, the top 38 teams were invited to compete in the URC2025 Finals, which concluded May 31, 2025 at the MDRS - Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. For URC, teams of college students design and build the next generation of Mars rover that will one day work alongside astronauts exploring the Red Planet. Teams and their rovers compete in 4 separate missions (Science, Delivery, Equipment Servicing, and Autonomous Navigation Missions). Mission scores are combined with scores from an earlier design review for the final standings.
