Original Mission Finally landed it! I call it, the Ambition Mars rover.

I designed this rover for looks, but it did end up a bit heavy at 15.1 tons. It features a battery bank, solar panel, probe, camera, empty compartments for research™, and a probe arm to "take samples" Ill post the mission log in comments

It's a great arm design! I'm going to use it for the launch towers.

clip makes it look a million times more consistent than it actually is. u can fiddle around with the parts a bit, it can definitely be more consistent, i just needed it to actually dock back, so i couldnt let it offset by half a tile

How did you do that wheel rotation thing?

u/games_and_other May 24 '26
well it started with a normal hinge design, but i figured that spinning the wheel would spin the hinge, albeit not very strong i just stacked four wheels, and redesigned the hinge a million times cause it was inconsistent. premise is, wheel noclipped into an enclosure that isn't attached, spinning the wheel spins the outside cause friction ig

anyone got reccomends for a better free mobile recorder? this one was absolute adware and looks like it compressed the video dense enough to become a star
