Mars Science Laboratory - Curiosity Rover (in lego)

[Naiba]

I\'d like to point you guys to the Lego Cuusoo, Mars Science Laboratory model page, for the incredibly selfish reason of wanting to get one, complete with all that cool “science & stuff†documentation that sciency-Cuusoo-things tend to get bundled with.

It was put together and posted on Cuusoo by a mechanical engineer who\'s worked on several real-life space rovers, I\'d love to see the project succeed before the real thing touches down in August so I could get my hands on one.

Damn that\'s cute, i live where it\'s made and have a ton myself, i\'m always happy to see new models.

Darn those white pieces! If only it was some other color, I may have been able to reverse-engineer the structure and create instructions

I so want to get this. It won the thing and is going to become an official set.

i want a thing thats at least triple the size. (the Bagger-wheels should fit) more mechanics, more technic!

I know where that photo was taken at. it was at the Air and Space museum in Va. I saw the curiosity there with a few other lego space ships. I got the directions there but I forgot where I put them......

Oh, well maybe so, but it just won a Lego Cuusoo contest to be made into an official set, and I wanted to mention it but didn't want to start a new thread if there was already one. Didn't notice it was a year old.
