Lotus 2.0
The lotus 2.0 is a partially autonomous rover that will roam Salton Sea to take data measurements using a number of sensors, including temperature, humidity, and object detection. The user will have control over the target destination while the rover takes measurements as it locates to the desired destination. It will be battery-powered, which will be charged through a solar panel. The user will also be able to monitor the rover's power consumption to make the best use of its run-time before it has to charge up.
