Once I saw Chris Maddison's Osprey Podfighter and Joe Meno's comment about
mission-specific add-ons, I started thinking of various things that could be
attached to a pod. So here's a new pod and three modules for it. They're
all at:
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~martinam/MartianDesign/ModPod.htm
The first mod is for spying and collecting data. It's pretty small and simple.
The second is a personnel carrier. I used rounded corners to try to make it
look appropriate for attaching to a pod. It has the same kind of sockets in
the back as the pod does, so it can be part of a chain of modules.
The third is a bomber that two pods attach to. I guess we just saw one of
those, but oh well. They were fun to make. I've got plans for at least a
few more, too.

| (...) Man, that's way cool! The modularity of yours and several other designs seems such a natural extension of pod tech. Now I want to go ahead and do this, too! Thanx! Peace and Long Life, Tony Alexander (22 years ago, 12-Oct-02, to lugnet.space)
