Notes on rovers:

Dean, David, Erika and I took the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers out to the Candor Chasma (out of sim). On Cactus Road 1104 (at 4252000 and 521000), a high temperature battery warning came on the Opportunity rover while driving straight, and it stopped suddenly. We tried to communicate with David but there was no signal. We waited approximately 20 minutes to wait for it to cool down, and we took Curiosity to a higher point to try to establish contact again, which we could not. Then we checked Opportunity and the warning was no longer there so we started on the path again. About 5 minutes later it stopped again. Then we took Curiosity to a high point again and were able to establish contact with Julielynn who was able to reach David. David then came on an ATV to tow Opportunity back. We arrived back at 1800.
