Excellent...we need more guys like that!

We have. I suppose they are afraid of being ripped to shreds by "people in the know" and don't tell me it hasn't happened on CR4. But then again, with out tenacity, endurance, determination, vision and an amount of good luck and criticism, every thing would stand still. How boring that would be.

I had a robot in the mid sixties (One wheeled motion) and he kept falling over. Being the kid I was I altered the design using a horizontal flywheel from another toy and he was good as gold. I was only a kid back then and had no idea of what I was doing exactly but it worked. "Robo" didn't last long after that but I made him stand up for a short while longer.

I should have not lost my tenacity, endurance, determination, vision and child like thinking and I could have become an engineer. I became an artist instead and admire the ones that have come through. Excellent! You are so right Del. Ky.

Artist --- Engineer.... works for me, both creative and that's the buzz.

I just got 2 pieces in a local ehibition...one is vaguely Engineering related and it sold immediately to someone involved in the building. The other piece is a sculpture of a Stag in Oak with Yew antlers

Heavy Machinery? I am more into colourful floating objects.

No wheels attached whatsoever. South Park? Maybe on the southern edge! The little bit out of veiw.

You guys have obviously never watched South Park.

Hi,

I don't believe that these vehicles ever performed properly.

This would need roll and pitch stabilisation: nothing can be seen.

How can steering be achieved?

The two wheeled problem was only solved some few years ago.

Similar problems (stabilised platforms for navigation of planes and missiles) took efforts from a big crew of control engineers together with precision mechanical engineers and incorporating the experience of WWII German work on V2 guiding.

See for Draper-Lab history.

A vehicle suited for moderate mountain climbing was (is?) the Austrian "Haflinger", named as the famous Haflinger horses, smaller than the "Unimog" that has some capabilities too. But both 4wheeled.

Move it on over

Don't know that I would stand downhill of that thing!

Where would you keep the spare tire?

Do'h!!!

Under the flight line storage bin...
