%%information
One thing that __almost__ goes without saying: the vast majority of the hobbyist Mars Rovers I've found are, despite being very complicated and often expensive mechanisms, they are almost without fail toys, [remote-controlled vehicles|RemoteControlledVehicle], and only rarely qualify as __[Telerobotics]__. Very few have operational sensors, and so far (I'm trying to think...) none of them I've seen are __autonomous robots__, or even semi-autonomous. Put it this way, if you've built an autonomous Mars rover, contact me and I'll put a link or a description or a page up about it.

For not only a Mars Rover but other designs, a bit old (circa 2013) but interesting, see the [Actobot Blog|https://beatty-robotics.com/actobot/] from __[Beatty Robotics|https://beatty-robotics.com/]__. Their gallery alone is worth the visit.
