======Octanis Rover / Balloon: Overview ======

The aim of this project, **Octanis Rover / Balloon**, is to provide a low-cost, low environmental impact rover platform for scientific experiments in cold to extremely cold environments. The rover will be small and light-weight enough to be carried on weather balloons. Its design will allow it to traverse icy terrain and be resistant to wind gusts. It will generate its own power with solar panels and regulate internal temperature as it's first priority. The rover will be on a four-wheel drive platform, each wheel being on a controllable strut, allowing it to drive in any orientation and right itself should it flip over. 
<note>**The rover is back from Antarctica. This project has ended and these pages are now archived. **</note>
