The Lego Mars Rover

As soon as I learned about it, I’ve always wanted the Lego Mars Rover.

Unfortunately, we never had the money for it until recently. So I
headed to the Lego website and it turns out the thing is out print.
This will not stop me, oh no. A bit of Googling later and I manage to
find it for $40 off of the KBToys online store (retail $90).

I’ve got photos in my gallery, and a list of small .avi format videos below:

  1. Deploying the mast, rotating the mast and dish (13 seconds; 594KB)
  2. A look at the steering linkage in action (19 seconds; 734KB)
  3. Extending/retracting the arm and the using the steering mechanism (20 seconds, 841KB)
  4. Folding and unfolding the rover (25 seconds, 1,049KB)

Enjoy!
