3.6.3 Steps
Step 1: Install the Obstacle Avoidance Module
Now we will install the two obstacle avoidance modules onto the rover.
The assembly steps were simple, weren’t they? In the following steps, we will learn about the working principle of
these modules, and how they help our Mars Rover to avoid obstacles. Stay tuned!
Step 2: Demystifying the Module
