Now that’s a name to conjure with.

I especially like this pic; I can just see its legs kicking in the air as it tries to right itself. Oh the indignity of it all.
  
I’m entering this into Mark’s Civilian MOC contest.

Damn! I was hoping you wouldn’t say that.
  
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.

I’m with Keith on this.(1) More capacity! How about a way for more of the little guys to ride on the outside like some species of frogs or spiders? Mmmmm, swarms of little bots...

   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.

I definitely want to see that. Animations, anyone?
  
Tell me what ya think!


This MOC has so many cool ‘part-use’ innovations and ‘scale-humour’ moments. Nicely greebled yet shmoove... I think you’re brilliant and I mean ‘scary-brilliant.’ Now, go build a P-38 or something...

Peace and swarms,

Professor Whateverly



(1) glad to see that I’m not the only one who thinks along these lines. Wierdos unite!
