FAQ - esa-prl/ExoMy GitHub Wiki

Will ExoMy go to Mars?

No.

How much does it cost?

Our build costs around 500 €. Cheaper versions are possible but not tested by us.

How can I make a cheaper version?

Here are some ideas that reduce the price without sacrificing core features:

  • Replace the servos with cheaper ones.
  • Use a cheaper camera or no camera at all.
  • Use a cheaper Raspberry Pi (2 or 3).
  • Control ExoMy with a phone instead of the controller.
  • Find a maker space to build it so you don't need to buy all tools and a 3D-printer.

How long does it take to print all parts?

1-2 weeks but this depends heavily on the printer specs and the print settings.

How long does it take to assemble ExoMy?

1-2 days.

How long does the battery last?

Around 4 h.

I want to modify ExoMy. Which 3D files are available?

SLDPRT, STEP and STL. They can be found in the release.
