Re: Mars Pathfinder's "Box" Was a Tetra
I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to notice the similarities. Congratulations Digo, for being the first one!

(and yes, that shape was used by all three of the recent successful Mars landing systems - Spirit and Opportunity last year, and Mars Pathfinder in 1997)

Re: Mars Pathfinder's "Box" Was a Tetra
The shape of the delivery system is nice and all, but when are we gonna see the spiffy drive train that Spirit and Opportunity use.

Not the wheels themselves per-say, but the way they move. I love that they can turn independent of each other and turn on a dime..

Should be demonstrated in that video. I think..
Well, even if it isn't, it's still a cool video.

And look.. That same site even has some cool desktop images of the rover too..
