A buggy you say Hmm

Can it be a VTOL as well?

[Rainbowtrout]

A buggy you say?

Can it be a VTOL as well?

VTOL capabilities would be nice. But, primarily a buggy.

[Roflcopterkklol]

VTOL capabilities would be nice. But, primarily a buggy.

yeah just for say de orbiting/getting to a new location faster on a low gravity mun i am thinking, i will get on it.

[Darnok]

Well 4 wheels is discrimination

unless that counts?

[Roflcopterkklol]

So this is what i came up with, i call it the Command turtle.

Hello, here it is my entry:

VTOL, it packs around 3050 d/v and can land and get back to orbit on bodies as big as Moho. It can carry up to 3 kerbals, the lucky one in the cockpit. Maximum speed on land is around 25 m/s and the safe turning speed is 21 m/s. Mass is 5.59 t. It is pretty tough too, just in case.

The main hull has got a Eve twr of 1 if u feel like driving alone for a while.

Cheers.

[Rainbowtrout]

Here's mine. Room for 4 kerbals. With detachable science trailer. Can be recovered even after a flip.

[Rainbowtrout]

Some of these are looking good so far! Here's my attempt. I'm not entering, just showing

[Tankbuster32]

Here's a truck that I made

[Rainbowtrout]

Minor time change, same deadline, but each round is 2 weeks. One for building and release, one for me to judge!

[Darnok]

Deadline is still 15?

To make my entry stronger, a pic of the ride on Eve at almost 30 m/s.

[BagelRabbit]

Submitting this little guy. It's really cool! You should probably watch the video.

...the Kerbswagen Pillbug!

It's got brake lights! It's got high beams! It's got a trailer hitch! It's got boatloads of ElectricCharge! It's got rearview mirrors! It's got an antenna! It's got four-wheel drive mode! (hey, still less repetitive than the OP.) Oh, and it actually drives well. What more do you want?!

...maybe for it to look more like a buggy and less like an actual car. Ah well.

Download link coming soon! So much Hype!

Enjoy the show.

do it like this: [ingur]69CyN[ingur]

but instead of putting [ingur] at the end, do [/ingur] (and ignore me putting 'inger', just put imgur there

it should turn out like this:

Thanks for the inspiration.

It's been awhile since I've made a rover. I'm happy with how this turned out.
