Episode 209 Perseverance is a robotic field geologist equipped with a toolkit that’s better than any available to a human geologist on Earth. It uses a drill and abrading bit to get a look inside rocks, which is a great substitute for a rock hammer, except when it isn’t.
Excellent episode. Even if hadn’t prominently featured power tools!
Anyone who wants to understand the purpose and process of making abrasion patches (e.g. #37, made about three weeks ago), should watch this short video.
