As far as contacts go I know a Machnisit at
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, does that count? I
also met Dan Goldin at Nationals last year (ick, what a
PR event). But seriously, NASA loves FIRST and I'm
sure they've already thought of something like this BUT
I doubt it will ever happen. The rovers will need to
be built in more or less a clean room environment to
prevent contamination and moving them out in the open
probably would not be a good idea. Plus, I wouldn't be
suprised if the Basic Stamp 2X is a more powerful
processor than what those rovers will have on board...
