Interesting design. While the larger wheels would provide protection from incoming fire there is the added problem of an obstructed field of fire. The vehicle itself would have to turn in order to fire at some targets, making this a very poor vehicle choice for use in urban environments. My recommendation would be to make a alternative wheel design based in part off of WWI-style tank tracks, with gun ports set in the sides.

Yes, I know what you mean. This was made for a tv pilot. Here is a little take from that. --> [link]

Thank you! It was not my idea though. The idea was from a "think tank". They wanted a Segway style Humvee with big armored wheels that could block RPG hits.

hehe, awsome vehicle with lots of details..
but i think that the tire texture are extureded to much (the small stripes on the tire)

for sure, good work

well those things don't have threads.. do they?

TDBK In reply to zoomzoom [2006-12-15 22:33:19 +0000 UTC]

Threads? You mean tire treads? The regular segway does not have rugged treads. Of course this one needs a a little more grip though.

Cool, was it designed like that to provide extra protection for the side of the vehicle?

Actually, I would assume that it's so that the body of the vehicle remains upright, rather than spinning upside-down around the wheels' axis of rotation. It could also use gyroscopic stabilizers (like the Segway lol) but that might be more expensive.

Interesting design on this... I'm curious, why the low body but tall wheel setup?

TDBK In reply to T1g4h [2006-12-12 13:58:45 +0000 UTC]

It's sorta' like a segway and it is low to sit behind the big wheels. They are extra protection from weapons.
