It takes so long to get signals back and forth to Mars that you can’t just drive a rover, you have to program how you want it to move. See if you can get this rover to various targets. Each level will get a little harder, but we’ll give you more programming commands to help. And if you’d rather just draw in the sand, try the Free Play mode.
