My good friend Eric likes to build big. He is one of the designers and builders of the High Bay Storage System. A while back he told he wanted to build a tracked vehicle. He’s done this before, of course:
Very nice, right? Not satisfied with this Lilliputian-sized tank (actual Lilliputians ride around in this), he set about making something a little bigger. By a little, I mean of course, a lot.
This monster has 16 motors (so far) and 9 NXTs. It’s fully remote controlled (autonomous roaming is still being worked on). Just check out the video below, it speaks for itself.
This thing is big enough to run over and crush a small child and should require a driver’s permit to pilot. It’s a real monster and I can’t wait to have a go with this thing myself.
So, Eric, what are your plans for tomorrow?
It needs a rotating turret on the top, that can fire missiles!
actually, it is the base of this, we do have the PF D9 dozer, and we want to recreate the images.
