Designing my Mars Lander I have done lots of things to my mars lander as i am progressing in my work making my rover better.

 I have learned today how to put suspension into my rover and also giving it a cab and a camera holder. I am now discovering how to make a drill on the front of my lander and also to put arms on it. The Prototype My design worked well it started with 3 wheels and now we are adding 4 wheels because when we drove it with 3 wheels all it wanted to do was do donuts so we are adding 4 wheels for stability and that they so can also turn.

 Mars Rover Simulation I learned how to control and help other use and get use to the mars rover. Hypothesis My mars lander will be able to be flexible and solid so that is will get over the planet mars no problem. I have added bigger springs and bigger wheels to my rover to give it more ground height. I have also added a carry bin and also a camera to see where i am going and a bin to put things I find in.

 From this we came up with a Mission Our Mission to Mars is…. To locate if there is any life on mars and if humans could live there one day, and to get pictures of mars.

 how it started I started learning how to drive a mars rover when I started with the Sphero driving it around then we built a lego model of a rover and we controlled that then we started playing a game on the desk top and learned to control it with codes.

 robotics I really enjoined robotics this term it was really fun the teacher Ms Chowfin was really nice a very helpful i will pick this as one of my future subjects.
