Mars 2020 rover "Perseverance" (Vanilla)

Description
Replica of the Mars 2020 rover called Perseverance.

Curiosity has been roving around Mars looking for geological points of interest or signs of water. Scheduled to join the venerable rover, a twin has been built, equipped more towards search for signs of life, carbon and so on while retaining the geological survey capability.

This replica is in no particular scale, probably around 2:1 to the original. I simply wasn't able to fit in the detail I wanted in an 1:1 scale :c

But with that out of the way, the rover's user guide.
Take over the remote control rover,
1-4 are movement controls since we operate on overrides (thanks subgrids)
6 is MastCam,
7 extends the arm.
8 retracts the arm.
9 cycles the Sample storage system

HOX: Wait until arm cycle is finished before starting another or the sequence gets screwed up... Manual controls for arm are in K-Menu labeled per joint.


Credits: Saw Enki over at KSH Discord post a picture of a rocker bogey system, only using small wheels as suspension instead of rotor torsion script to hold the main body level. Was reminded that it was an option too and so added those and replaced the unstable rotor torsion.

UPDATE 1:
Built and animated the sample storage system found in the Perseverance rover. It can be activated with 9 and is located on the front underside of the carriage.
1.1 Cut mast a bit shorter as it was comically large, small color corrections and other minor details

Curiosity can be found here! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2105436761

Hope you guys like it :)

HOX HOX: I really want MarmOS for the arm but can't for the life of me get it configured right... any help would be greatly appreaciated!

They're not using suspensions, but a rotor. It's just two wheels stacked on a rotor. You control movement with overrides.
