Hmm, these robots (http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/aerospace/robotic-exploration/how-china-plans-to-send-robots-to-the-moon) seem familiar.

Ah, yes. They strongly resemble Dave's other car (http://marsrover.nasa.gov/home/). Well, I guess if they work on Mars, they should be OK on the moon.

I love the drive on those rovers, just saying.
