Integrated Design and Reproducible Feasibility Analysis of a Four-Wheel Rover: Packet-Commanded Imaging, LiDAR Ranging, and Learning-Assisted Target Recognition (NASA HERC 2027)

For the high-school remote-control division of the 2027 NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge, a study presents an integrated, reproducible design assessment of a four-wheel educational rover: 10.919 kg, 215 mm wheels at 200 RPM give a theoretical rolling speed of 8.105 km/h, and the nominal motor specifications are insufficient to demonstrate compliance with the 8 km/h design ceiling.
