You have just been hired by NASA to build the next greatest ROVER ever made!!!!!
In groups of 4 you will be given one of the following landscapes your Robot must explore. What you will need to create a digital pamphlet that shows off your ROVER.
You Can Edit pictures using free Photoshop
Criteria
1) A Short 200 word Write up about how your ROVER is adapted to the environment you have been given.
2) A minimum of 4 images highlighting your ROVERS capabilities to travel the land
3) 3 ways your ROVER will examine the planet
4) 1 way your ROVER can collect samples to send back to NASA
Planets to visit:
1) Terra- This Rocky world has a proven difficult for our ROVERS to maneuver on treads. This robot should be able to climb huge rocks and survive intense temperatures during a 36 hours of sun light.
2) Oceania- This Water World has no land for our ROVERS to roll across, it is instead cover by a massive ocean over 98% of the planets surface. Recent reading have hinted as life forms living on the bottom of the ocean that would be important for NASA to study.
3) Volcanicul- This planet has over 2 million active volcanoes. Any ROVER must be capable of surviving the immense heat of the flowing lava, capable of climbing to the top of the peaks of the tallest volcano.
4) Forestince- This planet has one of the largest forest ever seen on our galaxy. Not only is the forest home to trees over 2 million feet tall, recent surveys of the planet have indicated some sort of creature living in the tops of the trees. The Rover must be capable of climbing the huge trees and defending itself from attack.
5) Gassitcatta- This planet is one of the largest gas giants we have discover at NASA. We need a Rover capable of flight that will be able to fly around in the poisonous gasses and map the entire planet. The flight must be sustainable for a minimum of 6 years of constant flight.
6) Earth 2.0- We have recently discovered a planet with a similar environment to earth but with a gravity field 2.5 times stronger then ours. The ROVER must be capable of surving the new gravity, and able to move on land and in water.
