Actually no. They won't win in any department.

A human could have done all the first 45 days worth of exploration of either MER in 30 second.

This is not my opinion but Steve Squyres.

The advantage of a robot is in failure not success.

        So, I guess there would be no robots if we didn't need them for space? - Sawyer - 7/26/2006 10:00:40 PM

        My point exactly Raoul. The people who would claim man hasn't produce space science are making a value judgement on Science and science. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 7/27/2006 6:25:27 AM
