The original ROV-E comes with a much higher price tag, so the JPL engineers decided to scale it down for home makers And so engaged was the public by the rover and its ability to manoeuvre harsh terrain, rocks, and small children, that the JLP engineers have published a building plan that allows rover-enthused makers to build their own for around $2500 using off-the-shelf parts

Wolter’s employer moved premises, the staff’s main concern as the dearth of toilets at the new office, and the increased queuing time this would lead to: Our previous office had long been plagued by unreasonably long bathroom lines
