Post your Rover MEGATHREAD

I may have just rendered the Thermo useless for a second time(last time was just after rugged wheels)

That VTOL is beautiful! Could you post the .craft?

[daemonCaptrix]

No wheels, but it does walk. No mods, just lots of reaction wheels.

Edit: How it works:

Activate SAS so when you tip it backward it stays tipped. Tip it backward. Use the "A" and "D" keys to rock it left and right around its z-axis.

Because the z-axis is now tilted back, this causes the legs to lift up as they swing around. Then as the weight of the craft is too much for just one leg to balance on, that lifted leg gets pushed back down to the ground, completing a step.

The robot will walk in whichever direction has the extra weight, which is why it needs that front pair of legs to support it while resting.

Realized after a few failed landings and bad take offs I needed something to clear the runway. So I built a bulldozer.

And yes the blade raises and lowers. The generator on the back is a converted kethane generator set to run liquid fuel.

Not my most functional rover, but fun none the less.

I know I'm posting this everywhere... but...

Rovers are boring when they can't fly.

New video of an... er... fantastic landing, right where the craft was supposed to go! heh I'm sure that everyone can see that this is an ...um, what was I supposed to call it again? Oh. Innovation in Technology.

...and, for those poor saps who want it-- ow! my leg! stop it! *ahem* for all of you fantastic builders who love Innovations, here's the .craft file!

Just don't fly any Kerbals on it. I knew a guy named Landred, great guy, so sad to see him gone who rode this after he protested against the Eternal Leader and OW! Not my other leg! Please!

Enjoy the Dock-Sun'd, everyone!

A duna rover on... Duna.

[Mosimir]

Works really great in hard to reach places

Dropping rovers from rockets is nice, but sometimes it's better to launch a rocket from a rover:

[HuBo]

I'd like to show some of my rovers. My Behemot 8-wheeler Mun-landing project was very hard, but Jeb made it!

[Camaron]

That's not a rover.

Its a building that happens to have wheels.

[Ravenchant]

As it seems that the current trend are Duna pics:

[astecarmyman]

Well... TECHNICALLY it is a rover

[Voculus]

That Panther rocks!

[Derpy_Llama_]

I made something, kind of inspired by landers with seperate descent/ascent stages. This is like that, but instead of descent, its more of a rover stage!

The Kethane Krusher Mk III

What mod are those square blue lights from?

[Othuyeg]

My new rover station on minmus. It is super easy to dock and undock the rover and I am really pleased how it turned out.

I can either use RCS to jump the rover into docking, or just raise my landing legs on the main craft, picking the rover up in style.

That purple swag lol. Should put it under the rover

I am going to send a similar craft to the Mun aswell. I might put more swag lights on it.

What mod are those square blue lights from?

Colored lights are now a part of stock KSP. Right-click them while in the construction mode to tweak their color values which default to white but have full RGB controls.

[Voculus]

What mod are those square blue lights from?

They are from the Aviation Lights Mod

They're very low profile, unlike the stock lights, and can be set for the a number of different flash/strobe settings. They colors aren't tweakable, but there are five different colors.

[Joe8]

Wow, that effect with the red, green, and blue lights together is cool. I'll have to try that sometime.

[Immashift]

I made a cute little one for various planets today.
