This is my entry for Hour of Code 2024. The rover is called AMSR (Adapted Mars Surface Rover) It's goal is to study the geology of Mars. I will explain each component of the rover. SOLAR PANELS - These provide power for the rover. It can change in direction to point towards the Sun, opting out for the max energy. DUST WIPERS - These wipe dust out of the solar panel, allowing it to survive during sandstorms. METAL DETECTOR - They are metal detectors. A sample tube is put into the metal detector, and the results will show the chemicals of the sample. CAMERA - It allows it to take pictures of the Martian surface. It has a neck so that it would look like what a human would see if they were to step on Mars. DRILL - It drills through rocks, allowing it to extract the chemicals. It has a small, openable hole to put the sample in the sample tube. SAMPLE TUBE - Allows more capacity for samples. (4L per sample tube) SAMPLE STORAGE - Allows sample tubes to be stored. It can hold up to 49 sample tubes (196L capacity) BASE TANK - Contains the pathfinding AI for the rover, the batteries and a heater. ANTENNA - Allows the receiving and sending of signals from/to Earth. WHEELS - Allows the rover to move. It can rotate up to 270° in any direction. They have multiple cleats and a metal dish rim.
