Shutterbugs Shoot ‘Scarecrow’

In this image, about a dozen people watch the large Scarecrow rover drive over a grayish orange boulder in an outdoor sandbox.  Scarecrow is about the size of a small compact car.  Its 'legs,' (mobility system) are a vibrant blue color and its large wheels are silver and covered in chevron-like cleats.  Members of the media hold cameras.
