The Nasa Rover Project is a multidisciplinary effort by Cal Poly Pomona students to design and build and autonomous robotic navigation system. I was privileged to be asked to assist with the fabrication of machine parts used in the wheel and drive assembly, and the robotic arm. The total work on my part consisted of machining 15 or 20 parts and took about 40 hours of extra curricular time in the ME Projects Lab during the spring quarter of 2004.
