   <p>Do you have what it takes to be a rocket scientist? <a href="http://www.eclipsecon.org">EclipseCon 2010</a>
     is your opportunity to play with the top guns. The Eclipse Foundation, in collaboration with NASA JPL,
     is organizing the e4-Rover Mars Challenge. EclipseCon attendees will participate in a contest to create
     the very best robotic control system to drive a robot across a prototypical Mars landscape.
   </p>
   <h3>Two Ways to Win</h3>
   <ol>
     <li>
       <b>Best Client:</b> Prove your e4 programming skills by creating the very best e4-Rover client. Start with
       the pre-built client and extend it to make it a more attractive, usable and effective command and
       control system for the e4-Rover. The winner will be determined by a judging panel.<br><br>

             <span class="emphasize">Grand Prize</span>

       </table>
     </li>
     <li>
       <b>Top Score:</b> Use an e4 client to operate the Rover through a series of tasks to collect
       points. Use the pre-built e4-Rover client as-is, or modify it to improve your performance and score
       more points. The person with the highest score at the end of the contest is the winner.<br><br>

     </li>
   </ol>
   <p>Winners will be announced during the Closing Session of EclipseCon.</p>
   <h3>Prepare to Play</h3>
   <ol>
     <li>Download Eclipse e4 and the e4-Rover client by following the <a href="getstarted.php">getting started instructions</a>.</li>
     <li>Register at the Mars Challenge Arena to participate as an e4-Rover driver. The arena is in the
       hall outside the Alameda Room. You must present your EclipseCon 2010 badge to register.
     </li>
     <li> Read the <a href="howtoplay.php">instructions</a> on how to play the game to get top score.</li>
     <li>Read the <a href="improveclient.php">instructions</a> on how to use e4 to extend the e4-Rover client.</li>
   </ol>
   </p>
   <h3>Drive for Top Score</h3>
   <p></p>
   <p>To drive the e4-Rover and collect points a player starts a "mission". A mission is when you have
     complete control of the e4-Rover. Each mission last 3 minutes and consists of a series of tasks to
     complete to collect points. The more tasks you complete the more points you can collect points.
   </p>
   <p>You first must register as a player before you can start any missions (see Getting Started #2). To
     start a mission you need to join the queue. If no one is on the queue, your mission will start
     immediately.  At the end of the mission your score will go up on the scoreboard. At the end of the week, the highest score wins.</li>
   </p>

   <h3>Create the Best Client</h3>
   <p>
     A basic e4-Rover client has been provided to get you started. Your challenge is to improve the client
     so it is more effective in completing its tasks.  Use the power of e4 to improve the usability and
     workflow of the client. We have created a Getting Started Tutorial to give you some tips. The client is
     built on e4, so this will be a great opportunity to learn all about it.
