Title: A tank of fresh air !!!
Post by: Mr Evil on January 04, 2012, 08:58:43 PM
ok a play around with an assortment of bits laying around the house (main part a cheap old air freshener), at first i was going to make a aeronerf but then insanity hit, if you can make a tub fly why not turn it upside down and drive it with a big mono wheel !!!


well here we have it a mono wheeled tank !! access is from underneath :) perfect for those low gravity planets that need to be tamed :)

Second pic has a pic of a standard 28mm scale mini to give an idea of scale.

(this was just a fiddle around this afternoon i threw some paint at)

For some reason I imagine this one driving underwater, using almost neutral buoyancy to ride atop its mono wheel.

question, where is the mini from?

Maybe the 'portholes' in front? The way the monowheel suspends it about the base?

Had the same feeling.

Isn't it about time for those update piccies?  :D
