[Stock'ish] "Ant" Micro Utility Rover

[cy-one]

Heya,

this started as "how small can you go"-project. The first iteration had no KAS-container (the rest is stock) and therefore provided no utility... Now this sweet little bugger might even be useful. Help with base-building by driving around small stuff (like pipe end points and such) to help in base building

Edit: By public demand (whee, I always wanted to say that XD), the .craft-file

In daylight, it's pretty self sufficient with its two solar panels. The two huge batteries as well as one RTG should be enough for any night time operation. And if you find a reason to, this thing also drives by itself, as the box in the center is a Probodobodyne QBE. Maybe as a small science vessel or taxi whatever

Not quite sure but are there any screenshots?

How fast can this thing turn without toppling over?

[cy-one]

@ blubbermonkeys: Uhm, there's one right in the post... does the link http://i.imagebanana.com/img/qq3tr737/screenshot12.png work?

@ Fox62: It is very eager to toppling over, but somewhere around 7.5 to 10 m/s works on Kerbin. But well, Kerbin has quite high gravity, so.. :/

It's just the natural drawback of such a tiny vessel.

Edit: Well, you can't really go faster than ~5 m/s, because of lack of traction And that rover is tokyo (uhm, mun) drift king. So... it's quite stable, but really not the fastest bug on the mun.

Edit2: On the bright side, it survives a crash at ~20 m/s (the back wheels popped... but IF you have a kerbal with you (I didn't ), that's not a problem.
