Greetings Teams:

Explore the planet Mars!

Be part of the 2003 FIRST LEGO League Mars mission by building your very own Mars Exploration Rover! This detailed LEGO replica is modelled after the Spirit and Opportunity rovers that have explored the surface of the red planet (and the rover used in the FIRST LEGO League 2003 Mission Mars Challenge).

The LEGO Mars Rover was developed in cooperation with The Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena, California and is based on the original rover drawings.

The twin Mars Rovers made history in early 2004, and you can create your own today! Includes 858 LEGO pieces, building instructions and a colorful inspiration booklet discussing the Mars Exploration Rover missions.

Is anyone allowed to order these? I've seen the model, and it's very cool...I'd love one, but I don't know if I'm supposed to use those codes are not.

Do you have to be actively involved in Lego League? Is being on a FIRST team good enough?

One more question: Would anyone mind giving me, say, $45 or so?

I would assume since he did say "members of the FIRST Community" that any of us are allowed to use these codes. (What would be the point of him posting if we couldn't?) This seems like a very cool Lego model, and I might have to get one this summer...hmmmmm

Of course it would be a lot better if I could get my hands on this:



for $45

does anyone actually know the size of the lego kit (mars rover) which is 45 bucks?... and i would appreciate if somebody can tell me where i can get this model that clark posted and how much would it cost... thanks...

[team222badbrad]

Sorry but I highly doubt that the model that Clark posted is for sale. I am sure that if it was it would cost more $$$ than anyone would be willing to pay!

Here is what the discounted model looks like
