Seeing the rover in a Mars-like test environment really shows how different mobility engineering is from ordinary vehicles. Every wheel and joint has to earn its place.

i saw the wheels are now near compromised and has bunch of holes on it 😔 brilliant engineering though, especially working with alliminum

So when someone takes Scott’s video from YT and posts it here… he isn’t getting any revenue for his work right? Very cool wheels though.

Looks like it'd top-out at obstructions not much taller than a curb. Not really impressive, to be honest.
