Mars rover replica built by young sisters
There's no stopping these two science sisters.
Meet Camille and Genevieve Beatty, who at 13 and 11 are being hailed for building a functioning scale model of the Mars rover that is now a permanent fixture at the famed New York Hall of Science.
The Beatty rover is a near replica of the early version NASA sent to Mars in 2004 and was unveiled in early August with hoopla that's made the red-headed North Carolina siblings science rock stars.

"We would just experiment," said Camille. "We started small, using off-the-shelf RadioShack parts. Then we decided let's go huge with it . . . and build a robot!"
Over the course of two years, the Beatty family built several robots — ones that could roll,
crawl and even fly.
The family also built a website chronicling the girls' robot-making adventures.
