Press release with a bit more on the design: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/a-clockwork-rover-for-venus https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/a-clockwork-rover-for-venus The WIRED article has errors. They got the PI's name wrong. They also say this about communications: "the Venus rover will use a simple optical reflector to transmit its data to orbiting satellites by flashing radar light like morse code" This is misleading in a couple of ways. The rover in the link above appears to use radar targets which turn on wheels; an orbiter would bounce radio off the target to determine their configuration.
