Driving lessons

High on the priority list of things to do for the CASE-IPY experiment is to recover the data from the second year of deployment of the CAS01, CAS02, CAS03 prototype stations. These stations are at 5 km from Concordia, and can be reached using a vehicle with caterpillar treads.

This year, the base has a new vehicle, the oddly named "Bully" or "PB100", shown in the photo below.

That's very cool, I'd love to have the chance to drive Bully. It's a very impressive piece of machinery, I particularly like the caterpillar treads. When I was a child I had a toy that was pretty similar, which I played with all the time.
