I went to JPL yesterday to see them put the mobility model for MSL through its paces. It is HUGE!
Lots of pictures and video posted at http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001010/ I have the pictures (but not the video) at twice the resolution if anyone needs them for artistic purposes. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I remember watching videos of little FIDO - that's quite noisy as well. FIDO was used for a lot of field tests to learn how to 'do' MER style ops - the little PLuto rover - just out the door to the right - is what I think FIDO has now turned into.
