They take the bot taxi:
I’m entering this into Mark’s Civilian MOC contest.
This can hold 2 passenger robriq (the big bot itself is the driver).
These bots sorta move around like water striders. Kind of sliding and
leaping...and the taxi moves the same way.
The engine hinges up to let the bots in and there’s a maintenance hatch on the
bottom.
I like to imagine it parallel parking. Kicking a car up into a store front and
punching a hole through another one.
Tell me what ya think!

| I'll tell you what I think--it's beautiful! The image gave me an instant "tickle", like the genre of modern art where they make oversized replicas of ordinary objects like spoons and pencils. Expertly done, as always. (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| I think there is a magnifier / scale vortex of some kind in .space these days. The first ship that gave me that impression is Ryan's (URL) Ju Zhen>. And now this Robriq Taxi. It's very difficult at first glance to determine what is its scale, what (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Unca Jon, brilliant use of the ball sockets. A fun model all around. Now I'm eagerly anticipating the jumbo-sized Robriq #2. --Ryan W. (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Now that's a name to conjure with. I especially like (URL) this pic;> I can just see its legs kicking in the air as it tries to right itself. Oh the indignity of it all. (...) Damn! I was hoping you wouldn't say that. (...) I'm with Keith on (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) [ j o n ], This bugger is wickedly cool (bad pun intended)! That leg structure is perfect for the scale and i think the "taxi" idea is just great. I also dig the green hue on the first pic. -ªþ§aada <>< (20 years ago, 4-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
