Meccano Martian Mission Hall of Fame

Scroll past the mission descriptions to go directly to the high score board, or read on first ...

The model made its first "fully operational" debut at Skegex 2024. (Mission ID Skegex 24)

We had just two successful missions on the easy level (Mars) before a major gearbox failure halted proceedings.

The second mission program was at Gaydon Motor Museum 2024. (Mission ID Gaydon 24)

Only one successful mission was recorded on this occasion on the difficult level (Earth), before yet another gearbox failure finished us off.

The Third mission program was held at the Henley Gathering on 31st August 2024 (Mission ID Henley 24). This was much more successful with no less than six completed missions, although a few gremlins still exist in the electrical systems causing problems for many Meccanaut cadets.

They needed to be eliminated (the gremlins, not the cadets!) before the next mission program which was planned for 2025...

The Fourth mission program (Skegex 25) has just been completed successfully with only a few minor technical glitches which were quickly rectified. Recent modifications to the game have drastically improved playability and enjoyment. Seven new recruits passed their training and earned their certificates as qualified Meccanauts as reported below.

Budding Meccanauts of all ages are invited to attend Gaydon 25 - (see events page for details)
