While wading an electric propeller craft through Eve's seas, I lost electric charge and the craft came to a stop. I waited until morning and after full recharge the motors will not re engage. I can move the craft around with reaction wheels but no power to the motors. The things I've tried are: Changing from On Power Loss: Locked -> Free Alt F12: Clear Input Locks Motors: Swapping from Disengage and Engage multiple times. The craft is not a probe and has 4 Kerbals inside of it. Any help would be amazing! Thank you. Edit: Main Theory is that this may be a feature or bug that when motors set to lock on power loss they can not be unlocked. Not sure which but if there is a workaround that would be great

So I had a thought today, "Would mecanum wheels work in KSP?" The answer is: Yes. They do, in fact, work. For those wondering what mecanum wheels are, they are wheels that allow lateral (sideways) movement. They are wheels that are made with smaller wheels/rollers around their circumference of them, canted at a 45 degree angle from their center axis. I made a short video demonstrating a drivetrain in KSP using them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbCuh1aUn1o& I'm not entirely sure what applications you could use this for in KSP, but it is interesting that they work in the game, and I thought I would share that. Have fun!
