Introducing ScoutRider

Hi! My name is ScoutRider. I landed on Mars before a manned space mission to set up equipment and investigate the landing site. Unfortunately, I had a hard landing and some important equipment got scattered. These need to be collected. To make matters worse, my battery level is low. Fortunately, some extra batteries were not damaged by the collision. If I can reach them I can get extra power and use that to collect the equipment. I’ll need to make my decisions carefully so I don’t run out of power before I collect everything we need!
