Intent

The listrover uses a non-pneumatic, cellular wheel design. The goal of thethis wheelwas metricsto provide compliant deflection, passive damping, and theirterrain respectiveconformity requierementswithout the risk of punctures or pressure loss. While technically these wheels would not be feasable on the martian surface due to temperature fluctuations and radiation, these wheels will be fine since the competition takes place on earth.
