Build your own NASA space rover: Here are the DIY JPL blueprints • The Register

"The one-sixth-scale Open Source Rover uses mostly off-the-shelf parts, albeit rather a lot of them since NASA's estimate for the bill of materials is about US$2,500.", "JPL's IT chief technology officer Tom Soderstrom is the Open Source Rover project's sponsor, with data scientist Mik Cox as project manager."

'The Raspberry Pi control system means the rover can be controlled with familiar devices – game controllers, Android apps, or DIY code. '

'For example, higher speed motors will allow the rover to move faster, although the lower stall torque would limit its climbing ability. ', "NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has been quietly working on a way to let students and interested hobbyists build a planet-exploring rover that's a scaled-down version of the American agency's six-wheeled 'droids."
