As predicted, we're not driving thisol. The scientists chose a couple of soil targets for us to IDD, and we put together a simple IDD sequence to handle it.
Word comes that we'll drive on the weekend, which I actually do find surprising. The plan is to straighten all the wheels first -- if the steering problem is with the electronics (not the relay), we'd much rather fail with the wheels straight than with them turned. Then we'll do a tank-turn, driving the wheels forward on one side and backward on the other side, possibly with the wheels unaffected by the dynamic brake problem turned to help. And then we'll finish the drive to Uchben.
Remember when we were routinely covering a hundred meters per sol?
