With the flick of a lever, the rover’s iconic six-wheel suspension spins a set of ball-tipped gears — to show 4 of its wheels inward so you possibly can spin the whole craft 360-degrees. You may switch forwards and backwards between that 360-degree mode and a standard driving mode, very like you possibly can see within the NASA JPL video here:
There’s also pair of additional dials on the back to maneuver the sample arm up, down, left and right for play. It’s a reasonably large set, at 9 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 12.5 inches long.
And, there’s an AR app in the event you’d wish to pretend you’re collecting rock samples. Lego says it’ll also include “exciting, educational content attending to know the real-life vehicle and its mission on Mars,” in addition to a technique to view the local weather on the Red Planet.
Lego says the 1,132-piece set will ship June 1st. Listed below are a number of more pics to tide you over.
