A new rover chassis - It climbs stairs!!

I found this today in the latest issue of Machine Design, don't know if anyone's seen this yet.<br /><br />The company Blue-Botics SA out of Switzerland has a new rover design with an amazing looking suspension. It was designed to have much greater mobility than existing robots for industrial/exploration use.<br /><br />This thing doesn't look like it would have any problem at all climing in and out of craters, or over Husband Hill!<br /><br />http://www.machinedesign.com/ASP/viewSelectedArticle.asp?strArticleId=58148&strSite=MDSite&Screen=CURRENTISSUE&CatID=3<br />
