Slippage Detection, after successful rescue Options

[Tman]

If they get Oppy rescue from his awkward position, what could they do to beware he of such a thing in future?

Have anyone a notion if they could gage the electric power consumption of each motor? If so, I think, they must get a suddenly change in consumption by slippage of a wheel, because of a change of the power consumption by less resistance - I think it becomes lower then.

I think the software onboard is able enough - but I do share the thoughts of others here...what is so special about the Autonav data ( equiv of a 360 4 filter panorama generated in about 4 sols ) that dictates it must be downlinked? Surely after a succefull autonav, the data isnt THAT important?

Well I guess they will want to check on the autonav data for the next few months or until they get to an area that isnt as prone to trappings as the dunes, also on a side note do we know if any commands have been sent to Oppy or if we have even attempted any extraction techniques yet?

Thanks
