Yes the biggest issue I've came across while constructing these small monstrosities is how to get them to sustain themselves, and if I landed on a hilly planet, how would I go about getting up the hills. The best solution I've seen / came across is to attach a engine to it, in those just in case moments, and the entries thus far are amazing in my opinion specially when forced to a minimal criteria as weight is very important because it judges how big your rockets have to be to transport the payload..

Very cool, and good work ! My try was just bleh and gave me this idea, I still need to put up a picture

Here the minimalistic nation, decided that their rovers were do Roving, and we need LESS roving. The challenge is to create a rover. Because the minimalist hate sending manned missions up because of the high cost to feed the kerbals aboard. Oh this challenge ALSO has a budget, since were cheap. 5300 kerbal dollars will be used, no more than that, so please list parts / price. Thanks and enjoy yourselves! The point system is simplistic and not to hard to understand, as well as the rules, which I will go over now. Rules : 1. Mods are allowed but very specific, since I only used Nova punch and mechjeb, those are the only MODS allowed, this is also a .21 challenge, no earlier will be accepted. 2. No stealing other peoples rovers, that is a automatic post to the board of shame. 3.No editing parts to make them lighter via the config files etc. Three rules, simple, nothing more nothing less, but your making a rover remember that. Points. 20 points for it being under 2 tons. ( If it is 1.99 that is acceptable.. ) 10 points for functionality, being is it able to move ( that is the point but it is part of the point score) able to take data measurements just a thermometer will do. 5 points for ever 10 meters per second it can do on a flat surface ( no tilted etc ) 3 points for its ability to take heavy terrain, such as climb a mount etc without brakes ( take pictures of it while moving till reaching top of the hill optional points in other words) My entry will be posted soon, but I look forward to reviewing the communities, I earned a total of 8 points! Please post your weight, max speed you watched it go post a picture as well of that! Also post a downloadable file if you wish and I can look over it ( not a expert though ) But most of all have fun! My attempt Weight 2.11 tons. Max speed without ion engine: 16m/s Max with ion engine: 21 m/s Or just use this link http://postimg.org/image/dmn570gdh my attempt Points So Far Coneshot - 30 points
