Regarding the solar powered walker and the mars rover, both are cool
looking robots!  I find that solar panel particularly interesting.
Perhaps put a solar panel on each side, with each panel connected to one
side of the robot...  So when there is less/no sunlight on one side, the
robot walks the other direction?

One question about the mars rover--in the pics with the wheels steered,
are the two wheels on the right side of the pics supposed to be turned
in towards each other?

Great job guys!
