Got a big ugly bin of wheels you rarely every use? Well now is your chance to bang 'em together and throw your hat in the ring for the... Intergalactic Space Wheels Contest! There are no predetermined categories, upper or lower limits...just build away and send a link only to spacewheels@hotmail.com to your gallery and a small description of about 20 words or so. Entries must be sent to this address....we could miss it if only posted to .space. (We will not be hosting galleries...only a thumbnail and a link to you gallery) The only rule is that your model must use wheels to get about...be it one wheel, or a hundred. Actual brick or CAD models are both accepted. Judging will be done by a secret panel of squirrels,specially bred for space wheel judging events. There are indeed prizes, but they are also a mystery to be showered upon the winner like a thousand roses from the skies....except no roses will be involved. The contest will run from October 1st to December 1st. |

Nezumi
Attach Vehicle When
the Kami Nation faction of Sam-Bots needs to send in troops, they like
to soften up the opposition with a few high-speed NEZUMI attack vehicles.
Highly manouverable and traveling at ground level, they are difficult
for any defensive weapon systems to find and lock onto, and the exposed
forward wheels are very useful for plowing over enemy Sam-Bots that
weren't already taken care of by the four front-mounted cannons. |

DuoDrive
2004 The DuoDrive 2004 was built in about 20 minutes by the one-eyed block-headed Briclopeans. Because if you don't have depth perception, you really need to drive an oddly-balanced vehicle |

Lunar
Monster Truck Excess
taken to an extreme. The Lunar Monster Truck enables the driver to avoid
that pesky lunar traffic and go ‘overland’ (and over tracks,
modules, craters and lesser vehicles.) So far there is only Bubba’s
own prototype, but he hopes to make more to sell, as “the huntin’
ain’t so good on the moon” Can you say ‘rollcage’?

RT-ST With a computerized balance system and power distribution the RT-ST can "climb" over hills by increasing the power to the front wheels and letting the rear lift over while the pilot stays upright in his stabilized seat. The pilot stays upright in real life too no matter which for wheels it uses except he has to use his helmet's Heads Up Display in some positions in order to see because the arm on which the wheels are mounted blocks his vision |
