New 3D Printed Rover Handles Rough Terrain Like a Pro

Last year maker and Thingiverse user Misha Larkin designed an amazing RC Curiosity-inspired rover that he named Moon One. While Larkin was initially happy with the all-terrain, autonomous rover, it didn’t take him long to find ways to improve it. His new Martian Rover design had a lot in common with Moon One, but it ended up almost completely redesigned. This time around each wheel had its own electric motor with a dedicated gearbox, and considerably more maneuverable wheels. Much like the Curiosity Rover that Larkin’s new Mation Rover is based on, the configuration of the wheels allow him to send it over extremely uneven and irregular terrain.
