Phew, how time flies. It’s now halfway through October and it seems like only
last week I was putting the finishing touches on the BrickVista Site. October’s
update sees the addition of more things ‘Rover’ with a MindStorms compatible
Rover MOC (complete with Building Instructions), New links, Models, and some
new renderings sprinkled through the site. I hope you enjoy them.
M.O.P Rover The Modular Ordinance Platform (M.O.P) is a general purpose Rover chassis which is capable of supporting many different operational configurations and mission requirements. It allows for customization and re-configuration of many Rover Sub-systems while still retaining a common chassis and operational footprint. Don’t forget to check out the Building Instructions!
Red Rover Goes To Mars Initially the M.O.P Rover was developed to meet the Red Rover Goes To Mars – Build A Better Rover competition guidelines. The Red Rover Project is an initiative between the Planetary Society and the LEGO® Company which gives everyone the experience of exploring an unknown world through the eyes of a robotic Rover.
DIY MOC @ BrickVista The M.O.P Rover is the first MOC on BrickVista to have an accompanying set of Building Instructions. When ever you see the DIY MOC logo besides a Model on BrickVista you know it has its own Building Instructions. Just click the icon and your building. All BrickVista DIY MOC’s have a complete parts list, stepped LDraw file and Bill of Material(BOM) image for download.
Pre-Classic Space Rovers For the .Space crowd, in the sprit of Chris Gidden’s Pre-Classic Space Theme two Rovers for download and inclusion into your next MoonBase project.
BrickVista continues to grow each month with additional features and models
coming on line so come back often and take a look around. I hope you enjoy
BrickVista as much as I have in putting it together.
