The Ashland Rover is a local family's education project, inspired by NASA-JPL's open-source hardware designs. The project began as a way to explore robotics and engineering while engaging with the local community. Built with meticulous attention to detail, the rover is modeled after the Mars rovers and features a sophisticated rocker bogie system, enabling it to traverse rough terrain with ease. Leveraging NASA's publicly available designs, the team adapted the hardware to include modern sensors and enhancements tailored to Earth's environment.
