You have probably seen most of these robots already, but the pics are still worth a look.

In June, research teams from seven NASA centers gathered at Moses Lake, in central Washington, to test prototypes for new moon-worthy robots, vehicles, and pressurized space suits. The field test is part of the space agency's preparation for its eventual return to the moon at the end of the next decade.

I was part of that field test, and it was definitely a lot of fun.
We posted pictures of that on our website http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/project/lri/scarab/images.html

I live about an hour from Moses Lake. Definately an excellent location for this kind of thing. Although it's a bit warm :/ Great link though, thanks for sharing :D
