Mars Rovers Survive!

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Thursday, August 30th, 2007

The dust is clearing on Mars and both of NASA’s rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, are slowly resuming activity after 6 weeks of waiting. Power collected from Opportunity’s solar panels has reached 300 watt-hours which is enough to run a typical house light for 3-5 hours. Daily communication and a little movement is now possible.

Hooray! This is amazing, they only planned to last one year, and it has been ages! Congrats Spirit and Opportunity!

Styrobots



    The story of my Styrobots begins with my acceptance into the Stanford EPGY Summer Institutes Artificial Intelligence program for 2008. In order to go there, I needed money! So, I came up with Styrobots.
    All of the money from Styrobots goes towards my Robotic Fund. This enables me to buy parts for the robots that I enjoy creating!
    I appreciate all help! :D
