Longest we've gone in a single night is 2.2km; hoping to go a touch further tonight if conditions are good and batteries are fresh. Our longest mission went 4 days and travelled 3.6km with plenty of charging from the sun.
I'm using 4G cellular data to send commands to an onboard Raspberry Pi, with an Arduino running the solar power system. I drive it manually from mission control using the camera to see where we're going, though next year's rover should hopefully introduce limited autonomy too.
Thanks! I'll be crossposting the missions to Youtube too, for those that can't hit the timezone. :)
