Too Bad it’s a Piece of Itself
Most likely, probably, and assuredly. Millions of dollars spent developing a 200lb multipurpose super-tech robotic arm. Forgot to add a screwdriver.
Damn. Damn, damn.

Have a look at NASA’s full-res image of what the Nuclear-Powered Science Robot Dune Buggy with Lasers is currently checking out – which is basically itself.
That’s like, you know, so meta.

More Curiouser
Love interplanetary space robots in general? Check out the drooling asskissery of Anthrobotic’s series Parts 1 and 2, and all related Curiosity & NASA coverage.

Stay tuned for Parts 3 & 4 (after more science gets done up there)
