Rovers

[TechnicalK3rbal]

I have a rover on the Mun, (I can't get a picture right now, I will tomorrow though) and it won't move.

At all.

It has two Gigantor solar panels (plenty of power), and none of the wheels are broken. Help?

EDIT: I also had the same problem with a completely separate rover on duna. They both worked fine on kerbin.

Thanks in advance.

Hm possible errors are having the brakes on? Maybe you have the wheels motors to OFF? Right click the wheel and see what it says. If it has plenty of energy and a command module (by kerbals or by a computer) it should move. Post a picture.

Check and see if there is still power and if the wheels are getting that power, also if you right click on the wheels you can try shutting down the motors and then reactivating them.

I had the same problem earlier while testing a rover on Kerbin.

Afraid I wasn't able to find a solution though. :/

Check the gears button is lit up. If it isn't then the wheels may not work.

Obvious Errors:

- No energy in the batteries.

- Brakes on

- Some part of the rover is lower than the wheels, so the wheels don't touch the ground.

Well.... these were some of my errors at least.

I had this problem, too!

I landed on Dres with a rover ( Unmanned, but has seats) docked underneath, It had one small ( 1 x 6 ) Solar panel and 6 RTG's, so it had plenty of power, when I landed and un docked, the rover wasn't moving, it can only move the wheels left and right, even when jeb is controlling it, I re loaded my save, and what I did to fix this problem is open the solar panel BEFORE un docking then undock, and voila you have a functional rover!

Also check these:

1. If rovers are broken ( not attatched to craft )

2. It has power, or solar panels folded?

3. Maybe just an error?

Try what I did then try it again!

Check the brakes - when I can't get a rover to move, that's usually the problem. If the brakes are off, make sure the wheels are getting power. If they are, try putting the controls into docking mode and hold down the "W" key on the keyboard. If nothing happens then, well......time to try SCE to AUX.

Did you leave the brakes on? did you accidentally click the brakes button?

When I dropped it from the sky crane, I think i left the brakes on....
