Using the Micro Imager on Spirit,try the pics underside again using AM/PM low sun angles for extreme shadows and max light for comparison. The rocks on the underside then get mapped more accurately 3Dimensionally with much less guesswork.
It's not like You people at JPL don't know what You're doing, but I'm sure that You understand that there needs to be much larger wheels to make the rover "float" on the powdery soil. I'm sure You guys know that by now, and that You weren't expecting to be driving on "baby powder". Take care JPL and KEEP KICKIN' ASS!!!
i mean look at the wheels @ 1:00 i looks like the things were designed to get stuck. the things fill up with the dirt.. its a miricle that it hasn't gotten stuck until now. i suggest that on the next one have tank treds on the bottem. soo if the wheels get stuck the thing can lay down and tank its way out.

why did the rovers have such small treads on the wheels in the first place?
