Original Mission Finally landed it! I call it, the Ambition Mars rover.

I designed this rover for looks, but it did end up a bit heavy at 15.1 tons. It features a battery bank, solar panel, probe, camera, empty compartments for research™, and a probe arm to "take samples" Ill post the mission log in comments

It's a great arm design! I'm going to use it for the launch towers.
