Adapting Open Source Ecology LifeTrac tractor …for Mars!

By Staff on July 31, 2014

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.

What We Need!

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