NASA's Lunabotics competition http://www.nasa.gov/offices/educatio...unabotics.html.

There are also the IEEE competitions, SAE's Collegiate Design Series (5 competitions of various types), and all sorts of OTHER engineering competitions. Bear in mind that most of them are full academic year-long competitions.
