I don't mean to be rude, BUT:


Ok, now that I can type again, I feel I must say that this is NOT
the rocker-boogie suspension used!!!

I am qualified to say that, since I did suspension plans of it!!!

Actually, It has almost no resemblance to the actuall rover.


Please go to one of the Pathfinder mirror sites and study the
VRML models (I helped make them), they will show how it is all
put together.  Also viewing all the pictures will give you an
idea of what it looks like.

	ah! I was thinking thas I was the one looking at things the
wrong way. I'm not saying it is a bad drawing (I'm not saying it's a
good one too ;) ) but it did not seem to me like the mars rover ...
Later tonight I'll try to find some pictures of it in the net and maybe
shortly I'll have my own version ot the boogie :)

	'till there.
