Nice MOC - with all of the hover MOCs, its nice to see some wheels now and
then. Is digging equipment in the future? The energy requirements for moving
dirt on moons the size of Earth’s moon must be less, at least for the lifting
of the dirt anyway. Inertia, of course, would still have to be overcome in
transporting the ore/dirt (F=ma).

Thanks for the comments. I wanted to do something different than a
hover-something. And with the weighty payload that a dumptruck might carry, I
figured regular tires would be more realistic. That, and I wanted to finally use
those big squeezy-tires.
