1.1 Introduction
Ever thought of making a bot that can drift around on Mars?! Well, we at Techfest 2010 did and thus conceived the "Mars Rover Workshop". The workshop aims at guiding the participants towards successfully making a robot that propels itself on the surface of Mars after landing. Making microscopic observations and conducting physical experimentation are some of the numerous unique features of Mars Rovers. There have been three successful robotic Mars Rovers till date. Who knows,the fourth could be yours!
Prepare yourself for a stupefying workshop wherein the participants would be provided with all necessary components. Learn all about Mars Rovers and experience the magic of building one yourself !!!
