Pit Crew for Mars: NASA's Mars 2020 Rover Gets Some Wheels (time lapse)

A team of engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, install the legs and wheels — otherwise known as the mobility suspension — on the Mars 2020 rover. The imagery for this accelerated time-lapse was taken on June 13, 2019, from a camera above the Spacecraft Assembly Facility's High Bay 1 clean room.

What are the guys around doing? Checking if everything is okay? Or does everyone has one small pre planned small task? Or is it students etc?

I can see one spot of dirt in this video.

[goned]

one personal request, make a livestream of the entire voyage ;)
also why not solar panels?
if the reactors die, there will be some hope with solar panels :p

Why build it in such a sterile environment when its just going to run around on the surface of Mars anyway?
