DARE

Descending/Ascending Rover for Exploration

DARE: design and build a Child Rover (CR) that is capable of deploying, communicating, and docking with the previously designed TREADS Mother Rover (MR), while also being able to ascend and descend slopes between 30o and 70o. These slopes will replicate a sandstone surface found when exploring canyon walls, craters, and caverns.
