Asteroid Drill - Steinbrecher [no mods]

Description
EDIT : This model is deprecated ! See the new version here : http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331552338

EDIT2 : And if you want something more stable and sophisticated : http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=336780500&tscn=1415914290

An asteroid drill to either mine or drill slick holes for station building.

Some advantages :
- High agility.
- Reasonable and realistic amount of blocks.
- Huge slick holes.
- Compact and robust.

How it's made :
- A rotating head with drills and a "temporary" cargo.
- A body with large storage space.
The head and the body are perfectly aligned and connected together using 4 connectors that automatically align the head and the body once the rotor is stopped without any action from the pilot.

Usage :
1) Unlock connectors if locked (P).
2) Start the rotating head (2).
3) Drill until the head's cargo is full.
4) Stop the head (2)
5) Wait for the head to align (done automatically after a few seconds).
6) Connect the head to the body by locking the connectors (P).
7) Transfer the ore contained in the head to the body
8) Go back to step 1).

Hope you like it !
Comments are always appreciated ! :D

Below 1m/s this thing doesn't really drill asteroids... above 1m/s this thing simply breaks. It's very hard to handle I urge anyone tempted by the video the author posted not to download this contraption as effective as it might have seemed. I gave up after about 12 tries it just doesn't work. my best guess is that the drills went through an unfortunate patch.

is it possible to get the drill head design put up as well because for some reason my projector isnt loading the mining head it stops at the rotor
