Monocycle v.1

Description
Blocks: 197

Weight: 71kg

Armament: 4 gatling guns, 2 rocket launchers

Cruising Speed: Aprox. 85 km/h
With Thrusters on: Aprox. 120 km/h

NO mods required






A completely different type of land-based vehicle has arrived! The Monocycle is a one-wheeled planetary vehicle. The Monocycle is NOT a unicycle, as the single wheel encompasses the entire vehicle.

The vehicle fares quite well on bumpy terrain, and can take pretty much any fall.

The vehicle is slightly difficult to pilot in the beginning, but an experienced pilot will find that the vehicle is agile for them.


Controls:
1: Gatling Guns
2: Rocket Launchers
3: Gyroscope Override On/Off (Turns the Wheel)
4: Forward Thrusters On/Off (Starts on off)
5: Gyroscope Pitch Override Increase (Will slow down the vehicle, or make it go backwards.)
6: Gyroscope Pitch Overried Decrease (Will speed up vehicle, or make it go forwards.)
7: None
8: None
9: Artificial Mass On/Off

Note: The monocycle in the video is an older version.

@Skitto493
Thank you for responding so quickly.
I understand, & I will just have see what I can do with the blueprints that already exist.
Thank you again. :)

Sorry. By my knowledge, creating a rotor head attached to a wheel has been patched out of the game for a long while now. You can still spawn in blueprints that have it, but you cannot create them from scratch anymore.

I just came across this the other day. I really want to try the technique in my own build. But even doing exactly as the tutorial video shows, I can't get it to connect/work.

Has anyone else been been able to recreate this detached spinning structure technique lately.

@Skitto493
Would you be willing to help me with getting this building technique to work.?
If so please friend request me.

Thanks :)

Everyone should own this blueprint, it is such an intelligent design. Might be the best blueprint by far.

p.s. I hopped out of it while going full speed, now everyone now and then I'll see it zooming by my base.

I wonder if this still works. I used it a long time ago and it worked pretty well. Anyone have any recent opinions of it?

This is amazing. I'll likely use this to help build an Einerad from Mobile Suit Gundam for my roleplay scenario.

@EvilNecroid you can either make the beginnings of whatever you want to build, attach it, then finish building it, or you can build it fully, then attach it.

@Skitto493 so i have to build it sepereate and move it over to the suspension wheel? cant just build it on there?
