Heretofore classified BS, (Beyond Secret), Articulated Bipedal Explorer, A.B.E., investigates an atypical

the Atmospheric shadows off brought back the shadow sharpness on the ground but then all terrain colors
had to be dialed in again.
Also attached , an attempt at Mars terrain with no extraneous objects.
