They're spreading them out so that they can see different areas of the surface.
There isn't much point landing next to Opportunity, because that area's already been explored.
[QUOTE=Timenova;37639125]Roamers? At least, that's what we had.

We called them turtles. Imagine one of those, but with cameras and expensive hazard detection and path-finding software. The operators tells it where to go and it finds a way to get there safely. If it thinks the way forward is blocked or dangerous, it stops and waits for more instructions.

Oh God, now even Curiosity is taking cam-whore pictures of itself

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;37629912]They're not controlled with a joystick...
It's given commands through a console. The team looks at the photographs, determines where it's safe to move, and then sends a command to '[b]move forward 5 feet, turn 70 degrees, move forward 20 ft'[/b]
and that's the ghetto way to do it. I'm pretty sure they can just tell it where to go and it will move there on its own. Using the MRO they have satellite images of everything around it from a bird's eye view.[/QUOTE]

Whenever they find a rock that seems Martian enough.
