Getting back to my roots, sort of.

I have made a pair of new mining vehicles.

 

The first is Deepbore 1, a rock crusher.

Description

 

This the Deepbore 1. It is a remotely operated rockface grinder powered externally. The borehead is articulated to allow the operator to reach faces that are not perpendicular to the machine. Movement is provided by in wheel motors.

-RI heavy

It was inspired by the drill tank in this: [link]

The second is the Loadozer {lo dozer}

(I wish that I could adjust those actuators in LDD.)

 

Description

 

This is the Loadozer. It is currently the only hybrid made by RI Heavy, with ICE, battery, and on-grid modes. The reason for this is that it is meant for underground mines and similar environments. Its engine is a v6 muiltfuel diesel. All of its systems are electric outside of that. There is no mechanical transmission. Rather it uses in-wheel electric motors. All of the controls are on the steering yoke, which [is] mounted on a semi-ridged mount. It should be noted that it is taller than most vehicles of this type.

Wow, the lodozer is really...something. It makes me think it's a Tonka.

O.T.
Lair, why is a Rockwhale eating a Small Transport Truck?

What you can't see is the four XL motors driving the wheels, which is why it has so many battery boxes.

 

O.T.

Lair has yet to answer that.

okay, well I guess I'll start caring about what you post again. I like the Deepbore vehicle. the loadozer is a little awkward but it certainly is more like the stuff you SHOULD be doing.

I really don't see how there is much connection, unless this is supposed to be like the inside of it or something.

I originally tried to make a TBM, but the head was too small.  I should also point out that RI does a lot more than mining vehicles now.
