Wow!  I like it.   The skie-wheel loks pretty cool.  Nice ice planet
modularity!  Good work.

Hey John, thanks for the compliments!  The wheel was a little tricky at first,
especially trying to determine a way to make it "gyroscopic" so that the
cockpit is always upright if the wheel rolls to the side.  But it was the best
thing that came to mind when I realized I had a week left for the contest.  And
without dismantling my DFD, all I really had to work with was skis, lots of
skis...   :)     ...The modularity was a side-effect of my solution to the
gyro-design.  Thanks again!

Cheers,
-Hendo
