48 legs actually
Submitted By Fai on 09/12/23
Mars Explorer, Fai, Community, Creations, New Vehicles 

Ok new idea:
Its like a flying worm kinda...
 
 
 
 
I was looking around in the Future and FAQ pages yesterday, And I saw an idea for a robot.
 
Later that day, I was looking at an art book (Yes I read art books) and I saw an interesting picture.
 
This is what I came up with:
 
It can roll up into a ball, or run around on its legs.
 
EDIT: More Pics!
 
This is inside the wheel- bot ^_^
 
EDIT!!: More, Updated Pics!
 
So the smallest thing in the picture is a segment.
Then its the wheel.
Then... ITS THE DOUBLE BOT DESTRUCTION WHEEL! No just kidding its just a bigger wheel that two bots make.

Fantastic idea. it could combine the boat (it floats and rows with its legs), uniwheel (curls up), walker, and robot ideas into one.

Dang. I like it. It actually has potential!
 
I could see sort of a "snake" effect to help render the walking mode, where the "head"'s route and movements are mimicked by the following segments.

Eight sections in the above "pod".  Add a connecting bot button adds another shooting pod of eight sections to the existing section. Add ten connecting bots and this creature has eighty sections equaling ten pods, each pod shooting and all connected in one snaky monster.

I like it.
 
LOL, Fai, when I first saw the ball-bot (hey I like that nickname) in ball formation, I thought it was a car tire or something.
 
Again, this idea is really good.

Nice, Fai! I love the idea, but how does it shoot? Other than Kruncher's idea, I see no way for it to get quarry, other than ram.

Well, you notice how all the other vehicles in the game shoot?  Well, it works exactly like that.  The gyro ride cam would make shooting with it in ball mode easier.  The lasers seem to come from nowhere.  That is why when I make my designs, I don't add a turret on top or anything.
 
Hope that helps,

How do people feel about this?:
 
(Ok heres my vision)
 
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-^
 
The ^ is like a raised head kinda.
 
When it does into ball mode, it curls into the center of the ball.
 
         /'''''
        |-^  |
         ..../
Ok, so its not the best representation in the world.

I like it Fai.  Of a fair amount of ideas for bots I like this.  I think after we add this one and fix it some we should add one more.  Three types of bots would be cool!

Excellent design! In fact, this would be a good design for the swarm! Just imagine all of the segments breaking off and becoming bots!

This gets a gold sticker and a Happy Face.
 
Why not regular, ball, and....
have the legs spread their length to become a kite-like 
bat-thing. It could fly a bit...

This could be the "robot with legs" that Aubrey was talking about.

I say that the flying worm idea makes it a bit too much of a juggernaut.

Well, you know how in the early days of the jet, people would take quarry un 20,000 feet with them, it seems like that.
UNLESS, it uses similar flying ability compared to the buggy.

This could be what I was hoping for in the jet. A slightly faster, higher-flying, buggy that has an easy to hit with laser and a dodge feauture that doesn't mess up your aim.

you shouldn't replace old centipede but when you press space it would grow wings like the buggy and fly.

No. We have enough flying vehicles, this needs to be a land only vehicle to be even remotely even.

I kinda like the idea of a flying version but take-off might be a problem since i suspect it would be fairly slow moving. I can imagine myself flying in the air like a long tradition Chinese dragon type creature.
