Going to Mars is so 2010. Mars is too close from the Sun anyway.

Better start to colonize the kuiper belt with super mega structures, we can start with AI drones mining its resources way before our arrival.

:P

Biblically accurate Mars exploration.

The love child of a quadcopter and a Meccano set. But hey, if it works, it works.

This fly-and-roll robot sounds interesting, but I wonder how effective it would actually be on Mars. The thin atmosphere is definitely a major challenge for the flying mechanism.
