No great problem - just contact Tilden at Los Alamos & get him to upgrade his bug-inspired robots to carry a camera & a single decent solar powered science instrument. Legs weigh less than wheels & are much better for motion on erratic ground if you have to build small; & the software packages for these bugs are quite modest - all you need is a largish base station as your information relay; & you could easily land a dozen of these out-of-control units on the Red Planet at a Discovery budget.

Unfortunately, Los Alamos isn't AMES, JPL or APL; which is why Tilden has been talking to wouldbe players like ASR to get his bugs off-world....
