RTGs work to and they remove the space bar issues.
Amazingly this rover landed with no broken parts.
Arrange the RTGs like so;

Correct you are. Reviving a one month old thread is fine. Reviving a three month old one is not.
Thanks for the clarification.

That thread is almost one month old.
EDIT: Here's Elbo

I have an Elbo Kerman I'll post him in a bit.

Honestly I have cake. however, I'm pretty sure carrots are related to rabbits.
Is the cake a lie?

...Score (I guess this is how you do it): 5522 - 740 + 60 (kerbals) + 88 X 2 (part count no breakage and returned to base) = 5018...
I didn't write the no damage + return bonus instructions very well so I've rewritten them. Basically your score gets doubled before you add in the no damage bonus and then you add the doubled no damage bonus.
so your score is:
5522 - 740 + 60=4842 x 2 = 9684 + (88 x 2) = 9860

There are mods to organize parts and the wiki has a stock parts list.
wiki parts list:http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Parts
EDIT: I just realized that every other post on this thread is by me.

Started this challenge; my box is spontaneously shutting down though...last time it happened, it put me back at KSC. Annoyed; will try again tomorrow night.
Don't give up!

I'm just starting mine can there be a bonus for 0 damage?
Edit:Take two after crashing 2.7k up
Adding it now.
EDIT: Added the bonus, if you tell me how many parts are in your craft i'll apply the bonus to your score.

I get the KSP website, the wiki, the Kentucky State Police, some KSP youtube videos, the space port, two websites about solubility products, a vimeo video, the reddit, and then a door lock manufacture.
