From Arda Industries:
A functioning Rover based on the upcoming 2020 mission to mars, which is similar to the Curiosity Rover, but will bring new science on to Mars for additional and continuing exploration of the red planet.

Operating the Rover on ground:
1) Set Slider 1 to 100% if you haven’t already.
2) Activate groups 1, 2, and 8 (Wheel Motors, Sensors/Comms & Suspension)
3) Retard Throttle to zero, activate ion engine X2 Stage w/spacebar
4) Activate group 5 (Gravity assist thrusters) at your discretion
5) Increase throttle as necessary
6) Operate rover wheels with W,A,S,D and B Keys (Pitch, Yaw, and Brake)
Operating Arm:
1) Deactivate groups 2, 5 (Sensors & Comms) and 8 if you haven’t already
2) Set Slider 1 to 80% AND Slider 2 to 15%
3) Activate group 3 (Arm segment 1)
4) Deactivate group 3 after segment is done deploying
5) Neutralize Slider 1 to 90% & Slider 2 to 10%
6) Activate group 4 (Arm segment 2)
7) Adjust both groups as necessary or as you wish
Stowing Arm:
1) Activation group 4 should be active, group 3 inactive
2) Neutralize Sliders 1 & 2 (0%)
3) Deactivate group 4 once that arm segment is done retracting
4) Activate group 3 and monitor arm segment retraction
5) Deactivate group 3 once arm segment is done retracting
Note: Extending arm beyond slider values given here might result in Rover destruction/flipping over, etc. Use sliders carefully!

    Thank you for this. It saved me loads of time during the building of my perseverance and ingenuity atlas v rocket with the skycrane. And its close to life size which is what I was after. Definitely getting an upvote for this.

    @pedro16797 Only to the description, the Rover will function as intended. I wasn't sure if I could edit the description, but I will do so now. Thanks!
