  M.O.P Rover
   
 
     
   

Originally Developed for The 2nd Build A Better Rover competition, the aim of the M.O.P concept was to develop a workable testing platform using LEGO® and the LEGO Mindstorms® building systems. The M.O.P rovers presented here are the result of this ongoing study of LEGO Rovers, along with supportive notes, technical descriptions and related links.

Along with the physical Rover design and implementation, control software was developed which allows you to operate and monitor the M.O.P Rover remotely via PC. The Journeyman control interface provides the user with real-time visual feedback of operational conditions, Rover Status, and movement control. The Journeyman Interface allows the user to control and collect data from the onboard Rover systems, sensors and manipulators.

Depending on the physical and control software configuration, the M.O.P rover can be used for exploration missions; construction tasks, and even partakes in a quick game of soccer (during lunch of course). Try doing all of that with a single set of wheels – let’s find out how the M.O.P does it!
