CanSats 2006
 Using the red parachute to
test the Rover's color tracking
capabilities. Olè!
 Not
only did the Rover need to track the parachute, hopefully it would
also know when it was close enough and stop!
 Early testing of GPS and
compass navigation algorithms at times did not
benefit from the use of a real robot!
 Waypoint
test over rough terrain.. Will the Rover make it?
 The Rover uses GPS and
compass to race toward a waypoint. 0-10: 1.2
seconds
 4-wheel
independent suspension and a tougher chassis shine when
negotiating them pesky ruts.
 "o.k. Rover, go spin
around aimlessly." - testing skid-steering.. Got low CG?
 Turning in
place
tended to be particularly rough on
gearboxes and prompted us to work on lowering the Rover's weight.
