The one on the right was built to fit in a Mk3 bay, and is one of the worst driving rovers I've ever built. Potatus2 is part of my ongoing Jool V attempt, since I'm visiting every biome on Tylo, might as well do a full circumnavigation (only like 50% more driving than biomes, so I'll kill two birds with one potatus. It has all those RTGs on for a reason - when cruising, the rover starts to recharge, extending range without charging.

(in black, red was bits i chopped off) Tylo is really quite flat apart from the crater rims and I think almost any route will do - and you've already decided you want to see the craters (as did I). Elcano isn't all pressing forwards and waiting, to put it mildly, but quite a chunk of Tylo is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this goes better than any driving I've done on Eve - used RoveMax and LEV wheels - did not go well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKspEngineer Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I tried to land crew next to the rover but Physics range extender said no More info here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Kerbin Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @damerell, is it okay to use @Angelo Kerman’s Sandcastle mod to print said rover on to the surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in black, red was bits i chopped off) i used a similar route for my circumnavigation as well, except that after the easternmost crater i cut to the north to visit the cave complex too.

TheKspEngineer Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Here's my Minmus elcano: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale37 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hello, I'm doing my second Elcano (this one is around Kerbin.) Is it okay if I post a timelapse on my youtube channel for proof, instead of pictures? I would still show the map view and plant flags.

I would still show the map view and plant flags. That would be perfectly fine - it just has to be enough to prove you went, and a timelapse more than does that. (I see the Minmus above, will get to it when I have time, but thanks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean you still have to review my Minmus one? (If I’m not mistaken you already did) Also, given kerbin's lack of land, is this an acceptable route?

damerell Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 No, @TheKspEngineer had minmus above and I meant that; sorry for the confusion. I think probably not - it's basically zipping around the North Pole. The total distance should be at least comparable to a route the long way around. As far as I know, everyone has had to design some kind of amphibious vehicle for Kerbin - easy in KSP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
