Mars Rover Experience: Click here for video presentation.

A robot was programmed using Scratch to traverse a simulated Mars terrain. Challenges included programming the robot to be able to traverse different terrains, different directions, and slopes. In addition, the exterior parts of the robot such as the gears and wheels were chosen specifically according to the terrain in the simulation.
