JPL Open Source Rover
The JPL Open Source Rover (OSR) is an open-source, build-it-yourself scaled-down version of the 6-wheel rover design JPL uses to explore Mars. It is built from consumer off-the-shelf parts, largely GoBilda hardware, with a rocker-bogie suspension, differential pivot, 6-wheel Ackermann steering, 10 motors and a Raspberry Pi control stack. The repository ships mechanical, electrical and software documentation plus a priced parts list; Motari shows a limited source-backed mast subset while the public Onshape full-rover assembly still needs a reviewed transform-preserving GLB export.

What you get
- A standardized, machine-readable robot schema derived from the source repo.
- A limited/simplified source 3D asset is available from expansion/mast/3d_models/mast_backplate.stl.
- Source-backed bill-of-materials evidence is linked with per-part provenance where available. Prices marked estimated are not yet verified against a vendor.
- A transparent reproducibility score so buildability is a sortable, first-class property.
- Cross-links to the source repo, datasets, models, and forks.
