Kerbal Lawnchair Program


Recommended Posts

Kerbal Lawn Chair Program

After a mishap around Duna, your space program's budget has been slashed. A lot. In fact, it was slashed so much that you can no longer afford any rocket or jet engines. The only parts that your agency could refurbish with their new budget are wings, a Chromebook and launch clamps. Oh yeah, and also an old lawn chair from Jeb's backyard.

Goal:

The goal of this challenge is to see how far you can make it away from the launch pad with only a few low tech parts. You might want to remember what you can do with the lawn chair's PAW ;). You will have to show a picture of your co-ordinates. You can get your co-ordinates through looking at the map view or by using mods. Whoever tries this challenge will be put on the leaderboard and may add a badge to their signature when I get round to making them.

The KSC's co-ordinates are 0° 5' 50" S and 74° 33' 28".

Rules:

1. Only parts allowed are the lawn chair, launch clamps, Probodyne OKTO and any wings. Jetpack and kerbal parachutes are allowed. Make sure to keep your craft stock.
2. Your craft must stay beneath 3500 :funds:
3. Share your craft's cost and mass at launch and co-ordinates when landed. Pictures would be appreciated.
4. Please launch east towards the ocean, it makes it easier to judge who wins.
4. No Alt-F12 or kraken. Pretty self-explanatory.
4. Don't cheat, keep it fun for everyone :). I won't be recreating your craft step by step to see if it works, so just stick to the honor system.

I guess perks of going first is even an minor win still puts you on the scoreboard!

With the parts, I have no idea how to "launch" a Kerbal anywhere, but I wondered how "wiggly" the probe cores are. So I strapped Jeb to one and "launched"!

Wiggle right, wiggle left, repeat, repeat... and then poor Jeb ended up facedown on the edge of the platform. 15m?
