What a story!

A couple of interesting details stood out as I read: (1) the rovers would make weight (sans batteries) at an FRC event, if the venue was on Mars, and (2) using 20/20 hindsight, it sure would have been nice to equip Opportunity with a winch and about 80 meters of cable, so she could abseil into Victoria Crater, making detailed observations of the exposed strata on the way.
