Looks like these guys from Arizona State University are trying to adapt OSE Lifetrac  – Open Source Tractor (see video below) for using it as a Mars rover:

“our goal is to adapt and expand the Lifetrac amazing project to the exploration and development of the Red Planet.  

By helping fund our student lead team, you will be helping to push humanity beyond Earth and into being a multi-planet species!”

What We Need!

We need to raise $16,000 to build the vehicle and do initial testing to improve it. Here is the breakdown:
