Looking for ideas on appearance, finishing rover ASAS mod

I'm putting the finishing touches on a Rover ASAS mod, its been coded, tested, crashed into things and driven across the continent. Its almost ready except for one thing - I didn't make a model yet and have just been using a placeholder.

So I'd like ideas. Throw at me pictures of things you'd think might be a good design for a rover ASAS unit. Criteria are - relatively small and easy to place on a small or enormous rover, and radially attached.

I plan to have this uploaded with the model in a few hours, so thats why I've posted here instead of mod section, to get ideas as quick as possible. after that I don't mind if the thread is deleted or moved.

So throw at me, if I like it, I'll make it.

Sounds like a good mod!

Try something that looks like a kerbal walkie-talkie, like the radial AR202 mechjeb. (I think that's what it's called)

In the end i've gone for something like that.

but I did check the other suggestions, and I've had similar thoughts already prior, which is what gave me this issue!

The google car kind of sensors I have in mind for version 2, where I do actually plan to make the module split out lidar beams lazor mod style (but probably not visible) to read the surroundings and make choices.

Antennas I've had suggested but decided against as there are some situations it might not work so well.

exposed gyro makes me think of the ones in firesplitter, which I'm not that keen on to be honest.

The duct taped sat nav I absolutely love that. I'll keep that one in mind as a part on version 2 (ver 2 might be a collection of parts, not a single one)

some good suggestions that I'll keep in mind later.
