R-# Rover Series

[Uberdude9001]

The R-#s are a series of durable, lightweight, and efficient rovers. All of them are designed to be modular, easily deployable by skycrane, and safe for their occupants. They range from 0.55 to 2.7 tons. Despite the rovers themselves being completely stock, they are best used with mods like KAS or Infernal Robotics.

R-1: This is a medium rover with a two man crew. It can hit 22.5 m/s. Its low profile prevents it from flipping over at high speed, but it can still do so if you aren't careful. It can easily carry mission specific equipment on its upper frontal and rear plates, you can also cram things into the front. Most important systems are armor plated. The crew sit laying backwards on sponsons. It is highly unlikely that the crew will be killed if the rover flips, but possible.

R-2: This is a light rover with a two man crew. It can hit only 9.4m/s, but it is extremely light. Really, its too light and slow to damage itself or its crew. You can probably mount mission specific equipment on the edge of the battery.

R-3: This is a heavy rover with a four man crew. It can hit 21.5m/s. Despite being a "heavy" rover, it only weighs 2.7 tons so shouldn't be too hard to transport. Both the crew and important components are armored, so it is likely to survive any crashes. It has a massive amount of area to mount mission specific equipment.
