This is a great rover for exploring distant planets (or in this case, the "uncharted" island). It contains 3 modules, a main driver front, a crew module next, and a storage/experiment module last. It is very useful and can last a long time! Enjoy!

My iPad handles this... moderately. Lag.
This is awesome boi it is a beast
@Nibbly123456 No.
@BrainyDJ Do you want me to remove the Planetary exploration rover I made based on yours?
"Tonight on the Mark Watney Report" We now see mark with his rover, moving slowly towards the Schiaparelli Crater on Mars.
I am also going to give this more power "need more cowbell"
cmon I know someone gets it
If anyone has seen or read (you should read it first) The Martian this reminds me of something like what Mark did to the rovers
This should be a Lego set (I love Lego) :D
@BrainyDJ lol
@sirtribesman The old one...just a joke
mark whatney brought me here
Wait is there a new island - not the new one or the old one?
cool!
@BrainyDJ hoe it gets featured. I haven't flown/driven it yet but it just looks SO COOL!
@Meawk Oh. Okay thanks!
@BrainyDJ no ppl like screifers have gotten featured a bunch of times.
@Meawk I already got a plane featured (My MSL Curiosity Rover). They only do each user once I think...
I bet that this will be featured
@Delphinus Got it, did it.
@Delphinus Are you on mobile? I'll make one with only the front for mobile.
