Re: GLXP Rocket Rovers Posted on: Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:13 pm A thread for GLXP rovers?
Do you believe that GLXP can be won with miserably designed toys like "Der Wienerrover"? |

Re: GLXP Rocket Rovers Posted on: Sat Oct 24, 2009 11:52 pm Actually, early on I predicted that a Radioshack toy would be able to win the contest. And now for less that $70 US I believe I may have found a candidate. It looks kind of like Wall-E.
But as to your more specific question, all I can say is that after my Fourth of July test of the Wienerrover, there have been no more videos of X PRIZE rovers (unless you count team Selene's Oxyhydrogen rover, aka Mosquitorover). So it looks like the other teams have been humbled extensively. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C8rjj6S2Sc Also, the Wienerrover is not a miserably designed toy. It is actually the product of a symphony of engineering subtleties. _________________ Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Wienerrover...That is what I'd truly like to be--ee--ee.

Re: GLXP Rocket Rovers Posted on: Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:51 am Fortunately you are lucky.
A forum just right for brilliant space enthusiasts does exist. Forum for people with unconventional ideas Present your rover there and ask the forum members, what they think about it. |

Re: GLXP Rocket Rovers Posted on: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:46 am Excuse me, but did I accidentally drop in on a forum for serious scientists?
