 		<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><img src="http://dev.eclipse.org/large_icons/actions/media-seek-forward.png" style="position:relative;top:7px;"/>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>
 			<table>
 				<tr>
 					<td>
 					<span class="emphasize">Grand Prize</span>

 					Trip to visit the NASA robotics lab in Los Angeles, CA, LEGO&reg; Mindstorms NXT 2.0<br> robotics set and $500 credit for Amazon Web Services

 			</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>

 		<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>

 		<h3><img src="http://dev.eclipse.org/large_icons/actions/media-seek-forward.png" style="position:relative;top:7px;"/>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><img src="http://dev.eclipse.org/large_icons/actions/media-seek-forward.png" style="position:relative;top:7px;"/>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. </p>
