Build Your Own Mars Rover! SunFounder Galaxy RVR Full DIY Guide

[@MashTec]

Great build up guide for a cool device! I find this very interesting. BTW, where did you record this footage of the rover driving? Looks very authentic, like you filmed it directly on planet Mars 😄

Thanks brother! My son, his girlfriend and I filmed it about 4 blocks from our house (son was the drone operator). Alabama is well-known for the red clay and there was a new subdivision being built - perfect opportunity for a Mars Rover video lol.

I love stuff like this, remote control vehicles were my favorite toys back in the 70s and 80s. Looks like a fun build. Keep up the great videos Jon!

It was a lot of fun to build and play with, my son has been playing with it daily since this video :) Thank you for watching brother!

Thats pretty neat, love these kits, reminds me of the kits back in the day but way more technical, so cool with the camera and solar too. Could send this to the moon lol.

It has been a blast working on this project/video, thank you for watching CarlO!

For the past 30 years I've had this idea for a commercial venture to send a remote operated rover to the moon. You could sell blocks of time to people to operate it from their PC or phone even. You could sell 1 minute, 5 minute blocks or whatever was commercially viable and I bet you would have that thing rented every minute of the day, every day. The rover would of course, have built-in safeties to keep people from driving it over a cliff or into a deep crater that it couldn't get out of. There would be some kinks to work out, but I think it's viable with today's tech.

I love this idea!

[@danidavis7912]

@@WagnersTechTalk I do too. I wish I was in the position to make it happen. I bet you could even just put a stationary lander on the surface that had a camera that could be remotely aimed and people would line up and pay to swivel it around the landscape. It's doable. I should sell the idea to Musk...grin...

Looks great. Now we need a video with the rover painted and made for Halloween.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

LOL, good idea!

[@Will-ym9jn]

This looks great!!

[@goozebump]

Nice

[@tommyg957]

That looks cool and a fun build.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

It is very fun, I thoroughly enjoyed building and testing this rover!

Is Arduino code is pre-fed or need to upload code..

[@WagnersTechTalk]

It's pre-installed, I didn't need to install any software to the arduino for this video.
