Big Rover

["Landed.at.Jool"]

Hi Guys,

USI has these HUGE 5m Kontainers, And I need a way to get them from base to base Via the ground, and short of slapping wheels and a probe core onto the godzilla of storage modules, I cant. Are there any Rover mods that can do that, While still being compatible with 1.2.2?

I've successfully moved them with a Karibou, on Kerbin.  I've also made rovers that could handle several out of things like Lack Luster Labs parts with help from Kerbal Foundries.

But basically if you're trying to move those around, you need to get creative.

You can try to build One Transporter with Konstruction parts from RoverDude? I get lastly One together for 20m hight stack for testing.... not realy stable build but works.

Moving those Kontainers around aint easy! Hence my current project. I'd suggest waiting to see what is possible with the new 'Eagle' rover/lander that RD is working on. It's going to be the biggest rover set he's made yet and it's likely going to be capable of moving at least one full 5m kontainer if not a few.

Some supersize rover wheels in this:

Alternatively, if you stick with stock wheels, you can do some autopiloting and reduce the amount of work you have to do with driving stuff around - in which case maybe you don't need to move the biggest containers?

Actually: As of the most recent version, it does!

This changes everything! Thanks for cluing me in

If you don't consider it cheating, try combine the anti-grav "wheels" from foundries with a strong RCS system.
