DIY Wooden Mechanical Mars Buggy

Your future space engineer can create a futuristic mini-model Mars Buggy inspired by ever-exciting sci-fi and no less amazing recent developments in the space industry,

The Mars Buggy is cleverly inter-connected to provide better manoeuvring: this astronaut’s little helper can ride around and over small obstacles to deliver important samples to the base. The roof of the Mars Buggy opens to accommodate small cargo. The Buggy can keep and deliver small stationery items such as paperclips, erasers, sharpeners, etc. On the right side of the rover’s cabin you will find a camera that will keep track of the Martian environment. And solar panels on either sides of the roof won’t let the energy of your Mars Buggy run dry. All the elements of the model, including camera, solar panels and a ladder in the rear end are made of a high quality plywood. On its front side, the rover proudly carries an image of Mars, the distant planet it is designed to roam.

All 95 details are pre-cut in ply-wood boards with high-precision lasers and need no glue or additional tools to put together. 

NASA plans to launch humanity’s first expedition to Mars in 2050. Enterprising and ambitious Elon Musk wants to start his own Mars space mission in 2025. The time is right to get ready to conquer the red planet with this Mars Buggy!
