Febrovery 2020: A Classic Space Rover with Classic Technic Rocker-Bogie suspension.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last minute entry for Febrovery 2020: The missing parts for this one arrived just in time today.<\/p>\n

I wanted to combine the 1979 Classic Space look with a Rocker-Bogie suspension built with Classic Technic parts from the same era. I started the design with LDD, but I really wanted to build it with real used bricks for the special look.<\/p>\n

I didn’t find time to finish the project earlier, so I was lucky to have the extra day for that. This is the result.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCanopy open:
\nThere is a toilet behind the drivers’ seat, covered by a 2×2 tile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRoof open: A small bunk just under the roof.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRear end: A seat, a desk and a computer workstation are placed under the bunk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe suspension in action: 1, …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n… 2, …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n… 3 …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n… and 4.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo this is my\u00a0 Classic Space\/Technic Rover with Rocker-Bogie suspension. I hope you like it :-))<\/p>\n

Bonus pictures:
\nThe Technic suspension<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can see the “heart” of the suspension system in the middle: The differential connects the two Rocker arms on the sides. So when one arm moves up, the other one moves down and vice-versa. This suspension worked well on the NASA Mars rovers, so why shouldn’t it on a Lego Moon rover?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can also see good old Pythagoras at work on the angled Technic beams. Each of them forms a virtual triangle with edges that are 3, 4 and 5 studs long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
