Last night we got the ROC6 out of the rover tent and out on a traverse. We did a short Visual Teach & Repeat experiment in daylight that will form part of the larger Analogue Mission operations starting on Monday. We also repeated the same route in both directions after dark without any problems. Our friend the bear cub made an appearance yesterday as well. Today the weather is perfect: sunny and windy so no bugs. People are beginning to brace for the impact of Hurricane Irene, but hopefully we'll just get some heavy winds and rain.

ROC6 Rolls Out
