This quite a pile of metal. More information at the official site. It's easy to see why NASA is interested in promoting robotics. I'm just now wondering how many FIRST alumni have had a hand in Curiosity's gestation. |
For sure there are several FIRST mentors I know working on MSL. You might have seen them with blood-shot eyes and lacking a sense of humor at the regionals in California. The rover was going through a set of grueling environmental tests at the same time. Those tests are tough on the humans too!
