This is very cool -- and built by two very clever young ladies: http://venturebeat.com/2013/08/01/check-out-the-mars-rover-these-two-girls-built-in-their-garage/#q45Xpfs7Uufe8gbk.99

When they tire of the Arduino, perhaps the girls would be interested in upgrading to a Propeller! ;)

    A recent robot magazine had an article about these girls and their father. I don't remember if the article was in Robot Magazine or Servo. I'll try to find it.

    That's awesome hands-on experience for those girls. When I was their age, the best I could do was building static robots out of soup cans, inspired by reading the book, "Andy Buckram's Tin Men", which was written by... a woman! :)

    As soon as the photo of the robot popped up, I went, "Whoa-HO!" This is a serious piece of work! Great going Genevieve and Camille! -- and Dad, too!

    Same here. 'Had to drink V8 juice for an entire week so I could have a body for the little guy!
