SDR-2 (Small Drill Rover 2) "Beetle"

Description
SDR-2 "Beetle"

This miner was a test if small grid rovers could really mine good or if a flying miner would be better.
And I am happy to tell you that rover miners have quite a bit of potential. This rover although not as versatile as a flyer
will still be capable of mining big holes in the ground.

Mining with this rover should always be done via drilling big holes in the ground layer by layer.
This design is therefore excellent when mining ice or stone. Mining tunnels with this rover although possible is very hard because it has a tendency to overmine ground and dig tunnels that go down to fast.
If you're not careful when mining tunnels with this rover you quickly end up with a tunnel that goes down vertically.

Features
- 2 independently moving drill arms with pistons for extra reach
- powered by hydrogen engines and batteries
- survival kit on the right
- cryo pod on the left
- connector on the back
- connector on top perfect to dock with connectors 2 large blocks above ground level

if you have problems getting in the control seat there is a small hole above the cockpit where you can enter the control seat or you can enter the control seat by standing underneath the drill arms and between the drills and the cockpit glass, there is another small hole there to enter.
