I know that there are some here that prefer rovers with legs over wheeled rovers. However, since the legged variety would not move as fast as those with wheels, I suggest that rovers be equipped with both wheels and legs. As I see it, there are two ways to combine them:<li>Make the two types independent. This type would have the legs fold up when not in use.<li>Put the wheels on the ends of the legs. This would require each wheel to lock when the leg is moving the rover. However, the leg could be combined with the wheel to increase mobility. It would also allow more options when the rover's wheel locks into position (like Spirit's wheel) by using just that leg.<br /><br />What do people think?</li></li> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>
