Title: Skid Steer Loaders
Post by: Hooke on December 19, 2009, 09:21:22 AM

A few of the Rovers could be re-programmed to be skid steer loaders.    Multi uses here.    Remotely controlled or manned.   Can be used to prep an area by leveling it, digging trenches, setting post holes for fencing ( for no other purpose than traffic controll around the hab and help with navigation in the storms)   Setting road beds for navigation between habs.

Geoff had a good idea about this... this could require beacons. A user must make a path with beacons, and a rover would follow the path between the beacons. Kind of like a highway...

Look, if I told you that was in the plan already, then it would not be a surprise.  Please stop using your telepathy to read our minds.
