In the Robotics module we have been learning about mars. Here are some of the things i have learnt about the facts on mars.

A bit about insight:

The basic idea of a insight is to map out the deep structure of mars. They know that earth is habitable and mars is not and there might be something they found out about the structure of mars versus the structure of earth, that maybe can help them understand what that is. Insight carries a size monitor that measures the size mc waves that have traveled through mars or the mars quakes.

They know alot about the atmosphere and surroundings of mars but they don’t know much about what's miles below or thousands of miles below the surface of mars so they want to investigate it.

A bit and sphero robot:

This is the code for the sphero robot. The sphero robot is a little ball that rolls around and you can control it from the ipad you can make it go backwards, right, left, and forward you can also change the colour of it.

My hypothesis:

If I designed a mars lander i would have to make it so it could go backwards, right, left and forward. I would also want its camera arm to be able to work. I would also want it to be user controllable and make a app that I can control it from.
