			Do you have what it takes to be a rocket scientist? <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/go/EC10_web@cbfeb24">EclipseCon 2010</a>
			will be your opportunity to play with the top guns. The Eclipse Foundation, in collaboration
			with NASA JPL, are 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. The grand prize winner will receive an opportunity
			to visit the <a href="http://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/facilities/index.cfm">NASA robotics lab</a>
			in Los Angeles, CA.

		<h4>Robots and Eclipse</h4>
		
		<p>
			Jeff Norris from the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab will be featured as the <a href="http://www.eclipsecon.org/2010/sessions/?page=sessions&id=1600">
			keynote speaker at EclipseCon 2010</a>. Jeff will present how NASA has used Eclipse technology to build a software
			platform for planning and controlling the Mars and Lunar rover missions. Building on the
			theme of robotics and Eclipse, the e4-Rover Mars Challenge highlights how developers can use
			Eclipse e4 to build client software to control a Lego Mindstorm robot. Participants will use
			an e4 client to control a live LEGO Mindstorm robot through a series of tasks to compete for
			points. Participants will be encouraged to extend and customize the e4 client to improve the
			control of the robot and increase their chances of collecting more points.

     	<p>
     		<a href="http://eclipse.org/e4/">e4</a> is the next generation of Eclipse platform focused on
     		making it easier to build sophisticated client applications. You don't need to be a rocket scientist 
     		to develop with e4, but e4 certainly simplifies the life of a rocket scientist!

			<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/go/EC10_web@cbfeb24">EclipseCon</a> is the annual Eclipse community conference to be held March 22-25 in Santa Clara, CA.  Contest details will be available online before the start of the conference.
