With the Curiosity rover landing on Mars yesterday, it’s great to see that two LEGO® fans from Battle Bricks have created a scale replica of the rover that’s currently investigating the Martian surface using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® resources.
The model rover is powered by 7 MINDSTORMS NXT Bricks, 13 NXT servo motors and constructed and controlled using a whole lot of LEGO elements.
Take a look at the video below to see the rover in action. Could you challenge your class to construct a model that mimics some of functions of the rover?
