As an engineer I sat watching the video in excitement envisioning how I could make some of these things work. I've done countess projects like this that seem hopeless at the start, but actually turn out to be very successful. I just can't figure out the infinitely stiff extension poles. Perhaps 4 wheel mounted electric motors make up for the lack of engine room, but then the battery would have to be some custom Li-Ion configuration sandwiched between the body panels or something. That's the fun thing about something like this. Even the technology would have to be invented. Fun! |
