The organizers spread 200 tons of lava rock around the hangar to simulate that environment. Then they spread rocks around, and 100 larger boulders more than one meter across, each one precisely geolocated.ESRIC gave the boulder locations to the rover teams on a map that simulated an orbital map. The maps showed the teams the large-scale features they had to navigate, but smaller-scale features were left as surprises.
