When I set out to make the Terra-X Rover I wanted something non-combative, basically a science and survey vehicle and with variable modes of locomotion. When I lifted my head off the table after an all-nighter of bricking it up, wiped the drool off my mouth, and plucked the random 2x2 off my forehead I saw this creation in front of me.
It rolls! For speed on those smooth surfaces
It walks! For those uneven and rocky surfaces
It flies, err, hovers! For traversing bodies of liquid
It takes a crew of two to fully man the Terra-X

The wheels may look small, but there's six of them!
I want to throw some boards in the back of that thing and explore strange planets in the quest for extra-solar surf.
ReplyDeleteI like that you just described doing an "all nighter, bricking it up" as if it's a common occurrence. I am jealous.

Man I miss all my old Space Legos I had as a kid.
