    I'm dreaming of an own rover...
    ...but I have not forgotten Hitchbot!
    :-(

    Let it drive without bodyguard somewhere and soon your Earth Rover meets Hitchbot in robot heaven!

    Never set free defenseless bots on planets infected with humans!

    Ouch, nearly $2k US, wow. The design is quite nice I must say: simplistic yet functional as you would want/need for that type of platform. A more open source style design could probably hit closer to $750 and still have a ton of really nice features to make it a sure-funded Kickstarter.

    Those waterproof wheel motors are probably pretty costly.

    I am really envious of those waterproof wheel motors.

    Nice but...

    I waited it for them, I knew they were coming. They HAD to come. I had to wait until 2:40 to hear those overused words no one should ever say.

    Those words that mean, "we don't know what to do with it, hope you do."

    Oh God, they said that:

    "The only real limit is your imagination"

    For decades now I have interpreted that phrase as:

    "Well, I'm not going to get much for my money then am I"
