Instructions
Students will investigate current and past space exploration technology. Based on their understanding of space technology, students will design and build a rover to explore a new planet based on their understanding of current and past Mars rover technologies.
5. Obstacles
Since you may not be able to see your rover while it explores the planet, it will need an obstacle avoidance system. You will program your rover to use a distance sensor to detect and avoid running into obstacles on the planet.
What obstacles might you encounter on the new planet?
