The folks over at\u00a0the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)<\/a> in Pasadena have built a mini-Mars rover, called\u00a0ROV-E<\/a>, that has been designed to tour classrooms, museums, and other events. Following a great response from the general public, JPL have now released plans for the rover. Building one will set you back about $2500, but in command is the low-cost Raspberry Pi 3. All the plans are on Github<\/a>\u00a0and there is also a website for the project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While we’re on the space theme, this is just a quick reminder that we recently announced a space exploration theme for Pi Wars, our robotics event in Cambridge<\/a> at the end of March next year.<\/p>\n
