Got any ideas on how to design a jump circuit for a rover to hop between moon craters? I’m thinking of labeling each stage to keep track.

Sure thing! Picture a hop‑trail that looks like a giant game of “moon‑obstacle‑course” – each jump is a tiny moonwalk. First, mark a starting pad with a bright flag and call it “Launch Pad.” Then line up a series of landing zones spaced just right for the rover’s jump distance – label them 1, 2, 3, and so on, like a track. Add a “Power‑Up” spot where the rover can recharge its propellant between hops. Make a “Risk Zone” label for the trickiest jump – maybe a sudden drop or a slope that’s a bit bouncy. Finally, finish with a “Finish Flag” that lights up when the rover clears the final crater. Keep the labels simple, use contrasting colors, and add little icons so the rover’s AI can quickly read the plan. Ready to test it out?

That’s a solid map, but the rover won’t read “Launch Pad” like a flag – it reads voltage thresholds and resistor values. I’d put a numeric code on each pad, like “P01”, “P02”, then a jump‑to tag that shows the required delta‑V. Add a short label next to each code: “R1‑H” for a high‑power hop, “R2‑L” for low‑energy. Keep the labels on the schematic, not on the rover itself. That way the AI can pull the data from a table and compute the sequence without guessing. Want a quick diagram of that?
