Spirit Rover End of Life?

Ultrasonic sensors will allow you to do fundamentally the same thing that the bump sensors do...so you can slow down and smoothly stop your robot just before it reaches the end wall, instead of running into it at full speed and then figuring out "ohh! there is a wall there!" - dlavery [more]

Spirit Rover End of Life?

I received a link from Dave Lavery this morning...
http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/201...-rover-spirit/

"NASA is ending attempts to regain contact with the long-lived Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, which last communicated on March 22nd, 2010."

Thank You NASA and Spirit for a very good run.
