Martin-Marietta Mars Rover

Or we could wait until we can build proper walkers.
Cyberneticzoo.com looks at the Martin-Marietta Mars Rover of 1986.

I love these old walking machine concepts.  They're the sort of things that engineers come up with when they're unwilling to tell their bosses that the technology is a generation behind the requirements.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
