Post your Rover MEGATHREAD

[Sesni]

I first saw the rover deployer and thought WTF? Then I saw it with both rovers resting alongside the deployer and facepalmed.

[Xephirious]

Lol, it was very difficult to make that happen. Lots of balancing and adjusting this or that a bit at a time to make it stable. It's kind of part count heavy but I really like the articulating parts. Hinges are awesome!

[Pyromaniacal]

Hey, VanDisaster, any chance we could get a craft file with launcher? Those look awesome and I want to put 4 up in my Münbase.

[Yasmy]

Inspired by HOCgaming's charity drive to the north pole, I drove a jetcar to the north pole from KSC.

On most terrain, it can go 20-25 m/s at 2x physical warp without exploding too frequently.

On the polar icecap or similarly flat terrain, it goes just under 60 m/s at 4x physical warp.

Room for one pilot and two external passengers.

Not a traditional rover with wheels, but a rover for Kerbin's vast oceans!

I love this! Nice work! Need to get a version on Laythe! What did you use for the pontoons?

[astropapi1]

What did you use for the pontoons?

IIRC, firespitter also has water pontoons.

[Van Disaster]

Firesplitter floats work up to quite silly speeds, I've had jetboats doing 100m/s. Good stuff.

@Pyromaniacal: I'll pull the cameras off and upload one as is, and attempt to do a more near stock version ( it's kinda mod-heavy, NP/B9/Aviation lights/IR/HullCam+homebrewed camera I can see ). I built it on Minmus with EL so you'll have to improvise a launcher either way.

Fresh roverer.. but adding an Inline Advanced Stabilizer to a rover... has weird applications. And then i turned on SAS..

Sure, i can totally turn those panels perfectly at the sun now with the new discovery of antigravity.

LE: Funny thing is, if i turn it off, i lose the 'invincibility'

Uh-huh indeed it uses firespitter pontoons and firespitter propellers

[Van Disaster]

OK, original buggy with the cameras pulled off here, and

stock version here.

You misspelled "rover".

[Caliber Sarn]

Gojira was looking for this back in April and I just found it on the space port.

This is not my design.

Built by Kevin Nguyen. No one has downloaded it yet, so I don't know if it's any good.

Been messing around on the Mun a little.

I really like this design -- it's wonderfully balanced for both roving and flying (it can do short suborbital hops with its own onboard fuel), and it has enough pod torque to be self-righting if it flips.

You misspelled "rover".

they also misspelled frigate.

This is my utility rover. I use it to transfer fuel, mine kethane and general roughhousing.

[Giggleplex777]

I win. Everyone can home now.

[SpaceVolvo]

Simple rover design, features a mk1 command pod that detaches once you have the kerbal in the external command seat, eliminating the need for another launch. hits up to 25 m/s on flat terrain, using on the Mun now.

I'm currently in the process of my very first mission to another planet, and I've chosen for Duna.

As I was building I came to the following idea.

Duna is mostly made of sand (at least I think) so I wanted to make the whole mission a "nomad / tribe" style to it.

So everything I send to Duna has to be at least slightly mobile and able to move.

So for the living quarters I made a simple mobile home with a rover attached to it to make it mobile.
