Perseverance Mars Rover

A replica of Perseverance Mars Rover, the most advanced rover to date. Made for ScrapMan's Mars Community Build. 100% vanilla, no thrusters, no glitches. Build and tested using Mars gravity module.

Replica has fully funcional rocker-bogie suspension, articulated mast (head) and drill arm.

I've tried to keep the proportions as close as posiblle. This replica is a bit bigger than real life one, it should be roughly the size of a Minivan/SUV. It was based on 25cm in-game block size.

Perseverance is capable of speeds up to 0.16 km/h (0.1mph)! I made it as 'fast' in-game, so it takes a while to go places.

Controls:

Black Switch (front) - Automatically drives around and collects rock sampels.

Manual controls (behind the 'head'):

Wait for the rover to stop the automatic sequence first. Blue switch - Forward Green switch - Backward Red switch - Turning mode White switch - Drilling

While in turning mode: Blue switch - left Green switch - right
