Hey guys,
Here is a video of NASA using off the shelf technology to inspire a next generation of kids. These RC's are remote controlled via camera from the inside of a cockpit in a van. Pretty cool stuff.

Here is an official NASA video of it. (See links at bottom of page for full story)

This years innovation day at JSC is this Wednesday. They have added a robotic arm to the rear of the Killer Krawler. It's controlled separately by a game controller. They will use it to pick up rocks and place them into a box that will be on my AX10.

Here is a picture of it in all of it's gear and a link to more pics. I'll be sure to post pics after Innovation Day.
