[stock][ATV] The ATJPRV

[Darkshadow]

Once again a new design from darkside industries, after recruiting Jeb, everyones favourite kerbalnaut to design us something, we got something only he would think of the ATJPRV 'All-terrain-jet-propelled-roller-vehicle' And we really do mean all terrain, it can travel land, sea and air.

It can travel both land and sea at up to 4m/s and enough fuel for 2km!

Rocket deployment mode:

Travelling by sea:

Land mode:

Now only to send it to the mun and we\'d have our first stock munar rover...

That is awesome. I considered a similar idea but never got around to it. Kudos to you!

Too bad it uses the fuel bottom-up, and not from both sides. Good idea, but eventually one side will be alot heavier than the other. You won\'t be able to roll straight anymore during your adventures.

It\'s the Great panjandrum but more Tubular , more successful , and as about as explosive.

I found that problem with the original version where the tanks were on one side of the capsule, after a while the craft would rest on the curved face of the capsule and role around in a circle. Having fuel tanks on each side should help to keep the centre of gravity between the two ends of the cylinder.

It certainly explodes enough for jeb to like it ;D

Announcement: Darkside Industries will be taking the ATJPRV to the mun! Dubbed the MuATJPRV, it is slightly smaller than the previous version with a much larger lifting craft. In fact the larger ever rocket by DI!

Watch out for the MuATJPRV coming to a thread near you!
