Re: Drive Dave's Other Car Like You Stole It..........

Nice find John. It wasn't a really hard game but I did find that driving the rover in remote mode on the moon was a bit difficult (and a tad annoying) with the built in delay that simulates the time it takes for signals to travel between Earth and Mars until I got used to it. I drove into a crater because of that and I suggest not squeezing between rocks and craters like I did until you're used to the delay or just go in autonomous mode. Lucky it was just a game but if this was real there's no "reset" button to start over once you lose a rover in a crater or on rocks.
And if this was real I wonder if a box of Krispy Kremes would make Dave forget what I did to his rover!
