The front end of the rocker bogie system was dismantled to examine and determine what was causing the misalignment in the tires.

Open

Bogie separated from the rover

Observations

When placed into the epoxy jig, using a level we can see that while the center and one end of the bogie are parallel to the floor, the opposite side is not.

The carbon fiber tubing will be cut between the aluminum joints, and any residue will be sanded off. Preparation for epoxying will begin.
