I debated to myself whether or not to post this here on UMSF at leased until it was complete, but I figured I'd share a little personal project that I've been working on. It still has a lot of work left to be done on it. Over the next several days and weeks I'll be wiring the drive motors to motor controllers and purchasing steering servo's for all six wheel's, and laminating the rovers top deck with carbon fiber. It sure is fun to work on it and a cool eye candy to look at as well! smile.gif

Wow its been a long time coming with this project. Long periods of working on and off of it in my spare time. But it's been super fun! The rover itself is pretty much finished. It also has a finished 5 DOF robot arm but not installed, minus the tools that will be attached to its turret. Still aways to go to completely finish it's add-ons like it's cameras, but it keeps me busy and its not like im trying to make any Mars launch winodws or anything wink.gif. Here are a couple of videos and some pictures of it that I have taken over the last couple of weeks. smile.gif
