It's awesome, but the fact it's plated is terrible car stuff. How the hell is that allowed on public roads?

I'd argue it's safer than 90% of the stuff in the #justrolledin videos

you guys are wrong. that thing is stupid as hell. it's like someone said "let's make an off road truck but with as many points of failure as we can cram into it. also you literally can't look forward while driving without hanging your head out of the side"

I can't understand why they have that giant vertical slab hanging off the front.

Also you can tell the thing is slow as hell because they had to speed up every video clip.

Most people think that thing is rad as gently caress, regardless of practicality or structural rigidity, so wrong thread.

It's insane and dangerous, but so are motorcycles. It's a deathtrap, but so are all vintage cars. It might be poorly built, but so are the most famous sports cars.

Wrong thread.

You shared it with a dick.

The problem with it is it's all manual so you have to adjust it before you navigate the terrain. A self leveling setup that auto adjusts even slowly would kick serious rear end. He just needs a nerd to put a motion controller and some feedback sensors on it. I've seen that concept before that is at least partially set up to be automatic.

But yeah what's with the giant visibility blocker? He's hiding mechanism but drat dude put it somewhere else.

Yeah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrQrJ57J9eE&t=173s

Probably to protect his legs from being crushed without putting a full cage in front. The pedals seem to protrude a significant distance forward and down from his seat position, and while he could have caged it fully and it would have been safer, a vertical longitudinal hoop is cheaper material wise.

Though, if you're worried about a couple extra steel tubes, but still building a weird articulated bug thing, then you're worried about the wrong thing, I'd think.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
It's a technology demonstrator vehicle - it exists purely to prove an engineering concept and then convince the government to give you development dollars.

The weird panels front and rear, and on the roof, are power packs I believe.

If someone has the tools just take 0:18 to 0:24 then put the reverse on the back to get it to loop.



Then triple the speed

Then 6 me.

It's got to roll forwards and backwards and also loop, if it does that it's good sixer material
