You made it to Mars! You are stationed at The Last Outpost, which is equipped with supplies
to build the things you will need.
Your team will journey into the unknown regions to map the surface and collect samples —
be sure to radio the Base Station with your discoveries! Follow these instructions to construct
an Explorer Rover, a sample collector known as The Claw, a Charging Station, and a
Portable Communication Tower. We’re relying on your engineering skills to create closed
circuits and propel our mission forward!
Good Luck!

Building a Circuit
Line up the conductive symbols to make a complete loop.
Line up the power source with a conductor and the effect. When connected, these are ready to become a closed circuit.
After the parts are connected, press the power button.
The depressed button closes the loop, allowing the energy to ow. This is a closed circuit!
