Off road ride with the WRV1 lunar rover

Last week, the WRV1 lunar rover prototype has seen some very interesting progress. The mechanical structure is now in place including the wheels, two drive motors and a fully functional steering unit. The mechanical structure still uses Stokys but this only makes it more steam punk looking.

Furthermore, WRV1 has been equipped with all the necessary lab-electronics that allow it to move and to be controlled via radio. Therefore, it was time to take him/her out for his/her first off road ride and let him/her explore the beautiful mountains of Switzerland. Enjoy!

Q: Should WRV1 be a he or a she?
