I think this will be very difficult/impossible, as the CM does not download
the firmware - it's there all the time, in ROM, so you never download *machine
code* to it, only bytecodes.

But, radio transmission is great, and a PC is not limited, so a rover with
'self-preservation' built in, and a PC program to control everything else is
quite doable.
