Within a year I’ve gone from drawing notebook sketches, to building scale models, to drawing tablets and now 3D modeling. The 3D design product I’m hunting next is a 3D mouse. I’m far behind and everything I want to do so I’m always looking for efficiency. I like as many things to be
Side by side, the Rover and the Toyota MR2 Spyder are roughly the same length but the AR is significantly taller and wider. The Rover has nearly 4 times the interior volume and with only one seat, in the range of ten times the storage space. In an emergency situation, the cabin can accommodate
The tank-like shape is purely functional. The curves are strictly aerodynamic. The steering and propulsion are packaged in one unit hung from each Pylon, isolated from the Hull. The turret modeled bubble canopy is designed for 360 degree visibility. Wraparound monitors in the cabin compensate for all blindspots. The HALO ring sensors have an
I’m making my attempt at 3D modeling, using the most efficient and simple software I can find: Tinkercad. Since the rover is so geometrical, modeling in 3D should be very straightforward. I’m already able to get more detailed drawings done. To the point of nearly completely abandoning all physical modeling outside of quick notes.
With various lidar and sonar systems surrounding vehicle and variable 360 thrusters, the rover can actively turn away from impacts. Even steering in a different direction from tandem thrusters to avoid collision first, or accelerate away . The vehicle can instantly avoid incoming side impact at city intersections by shifting its body from forward motion
