Problem description


Design a simplified Mars Rover for a low-cost exploration
to map a portion of the Martian surface and report on the
presence of certain mineral deposits.
The system is composed of three separate elements:



A mission control based on earth
A rover base based on Mars
Multiple, physically identical, rovers that will be deployed to map the
Martian surface and gather information on mineral deposits
