Functional ground vehicle challenge!

[Matticus88]

I Challenge you! To build Functional land vehicles that have some sort of interesting action you can do with it.

For example; Here is a Mobile crane i have built, Using Damned Robotics and Carts, you can try to pick up objects with it(or fail trying in my case). It has stabilizer legs, Rotateable, raiseable/lowerable Boom arm, With a raiseable/lowerable Claw that you can open and close.

KSP Icus Atlas Mobile Crane

.Craft File Download Link - http://www.filedropper.com/icusatlasmobilecrane

Collect those jetttisoned parts from around the KSC into one area (so that you can blow \'em all up at once!)

So what can you build?

I HIGHLY recommend DamnedRobotics and obiviously Carts for these.

I got a ground vehicle that carries a spaceplane about.

I\'ve got this claw truck thing.

More pictures.

Edit: I think this is the truck. I have Claw Truck through Claw Truck 3 in the folder. Takes the cart mod, damned robotics, and MechJeb. May need some updating to .15 too.

Edit 2: Let\'s see if I can remember to attach the file this time.

[Matticus88]

wow, thats great, you mind sharing the .craft file?

The Trackmarker 24n

(click for larger images)

... can traverse reasonably flat terrain to place up to 24 individual waypoint markers, uses hstwCart and Redspar\'s Eagle command pod, plus optionally (but highly recommended) rpg_navlights.

Hey, that\'s prime stuff for a cart race. Is that a challenge yet?

craft file doesn\'t save the servo \'channels\'. must be an issue with the plugin or the way things are saved. doesnt load the channels in the VAB either.

I would love to see something that looks like a bulldozer or front-end loader, capable of scooping up a big pile of debris items from the ground around KSC.

Ok, if this helps, the order from base to claw goes rotor, rotor, hinge, hinge, hinge, cylinder, hinge, hinge, hinge, cylinder, hinge, hinge, claw. Each set of two or three hinges are in the same group. Same for the double rotors.

Something like this:

or this:

?

another crane. using the sub mod for counter balancing.

[Majiir]

Here\'s my comm antenna. I\'ve built an improved version, but this is what I have screenshots of: http://imgur.com/a/Jk9o5

[EDIT] I also have some utility vehicles at the launchpad:

Sadly, you can\'t keep floodlights on the launch tower. I might build one where the ship sits behind the tower and has arms peering over it.

[SteevyT]

You mean something like this?

Or more like this?

[Zephram Kerman]

?

Those are beautiful. Big Trak looks good on Kerbin! But I\'m hoping for a much bigger heap of parts, say about two dozen all piled up on the scoop. Anybody feeling inspired by this?

[superD]

this thing is near impossible to drive on the Mun.

[MaverickSawyer]

How about some self-propelled artillery?

Requires Probe kit, railgun, carts, sunbeam laser, and damned robotics.

[SasquatchM]

A truck and trailer set up with a nifty little launcher inside.

Yes, I know I re-used it.

[Zenton8787]

SasquatchM that is a great use of robotics. Very unique.

A semi with a mobile launch pad, and VTOL plane.

Would love to see more of your work.

[Zephram Kerman]

Oh that\'s good!

I love how some of the launcher explodes after separation; that\'s almost required for a Kerbal launch system.
