ant rover with garage style deployment

[toric5]

this is my first time posting on the spacecraft exchange, so i am more than open to suggestions. This little rover with its intuitive delivery system is perfect for your first ground exploration of new territory. Although the delivery system's range is untested, it can easily get to minmus, even landing on the interplanetary stage. On the ground, the ant can reach top speeds of ~15m/s, more if on a slope. In low gravity planets, the sole probe body also has enough gyroscopic torque to completely flip itself over, so getting stuck shouldn't be a problem. This rover is also very sturdy, and i have yet to destroy it in normal use. Enjoy!

Yes, we can neat btw!

ok, sorry for so many comments, was wondering if the forum was being funny again.

It looks good, just a suggestion: if you are after torque, stacking the smallest probe is both more aesthetically pleasing (IMO), and effective. Also gives you an increased electricity usage, which is kinda realistic.

Hi! I really like this idea, so my idea was: We could work together. What do you think about it?

[toric5]

i used the capsules because they looked like nosecones. what do you mean work together?

[BlueSubstance]

I mean creating a thread, and posting stuff on it together.

[toric5]

i guess, but im not the best. feel free to put it on a showcase thread, just give credit to me
