Rover Forklift Moves Base Components

[EmanonP]

Took a while to get the weight distribution right so it could balance the weight of the base modules it will have to pick up, but so far it works

to transport the 1st portion of my Mun Base.

Also took a lot of effort just to get it to the Mun. It was a bugger of a payload to get into orbit, as it had drag and balance issues.

This is really awesome! Do you have any videos of forklifting base components? How much can it lift? Care to share the craft file?

Actually, so far, this only worked once. And that was with the base component resting on the thruster that go it to the Mun safely, and not the landing legs. The docking ports of the forklift and those of the component

don't really match up well. What is really needed is a way to lower or raise the forklift by a few feet in increments, instead of "legs down" and "legs up" heights.

I have no idea how to take vids, nor how to share the file. Would be happy to supply both if I did however!
