Engineers in Austria have developed a wind-powered mars rover inspired by tumbleweed. Fleets of these lightweight, spherical robots could roll across Martian landscapes, recording valuable long-term environmental data. 🤖 interestingengineering.com/photo-story/... #Robots #Robotics

Wind-driven tumbleweed rovers could roll up to 1,740 miles on Mars

European scientists test wind-driven tumbleweed rovers that could explore Mars cheaply and roll across rough terrain effectively.

It’s hard to put into words just how incredible these senior dressCode mentors are and the outstanding impact they’ve had - not only in building their school’s dressCode club, but also in being such inspiring role models for younger pupils.
