A robot designed to explore asteroid/comets surface

[RainDreamer]

In order to move more efficiently on extremely low gravity environment like on an asteroid, they are thinking of new designs.

Not exactly a new idea, but for some reason it really reminds me of some ksp when you roll a capsule around using just its op reaction wheel. Anyway, it seems like promising for travelling around on dangerous terrain, though seems like it would be limited to using RTG for power only, since I doubt solar panels like being rolled around.

Inspired by Weighted Companion Cube.

Hearts are required on every face for proper usage.

I was thinking of the creative reaction wheels in KSP, all know the tricks of using an command pod and some material labs and goo and then go rolling around on the space center for cheap science.

Cubli cube looks very close too.

This is awesome ! I can already imagine launching dozens of those (probably scaled up to carry scientific experiments) in a single launch on low gravity bodies to explore a huge part of their surface.
