...not that I want them to. Keep on rockin that martian landscape. - RogerStrong, on 06/23/2009, -1/+7They did think about it.
However they didn't expect the rovers to last long enough for the dust to be an issue. With limited weight allowed, they decided to use it for more scientific instruments. - RogerStrong, on 06/23/2009, -0/+5@O8SERVER:
I read OTHER articles too, including interviews with the people who designed, built and operate the rovers. They've been asked this question before.
Short articles for the general public tend to oversimplify. - LeFrenzy, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4trojan!!! this link is a trojan!
- asgardshill, on 06/23/2009, -1/+3I never understood why the great minds that designed Spirit and Opportunity didn't think about mounting a simple brush onto the solar panels to keep them free of dust.

- ElectroOverlord, on 06/23/2009, -2/+1We should rename them Wall-E 1 and 2
