Azathoth posted:I mean, not really? Looks like they hit fore and aft of the anti-michelin bulges. Sure they're gonna do some showy damage and maybe slow them a bit, but it's not going to incapacitate them. Even if the crew gets the rear damage patched the front strike will limit maximum speed. Too fast and they’ll peel open the hull, too slow and they’ll be in gun range by morning. The most they can hope for is to take shelter in a neutral car park and effect repair before the fees stack up.

When you go to change the batteries on a hibernating bear's radio collar, make sure it's actually asleep. TLDR: they tranq'd it, then went back in after they'd thought it had taken effect, and that's when they got that photo. Then: quote:The bear started crawling toward us until I was forced out of the den. We frantically blocked the exit with backpacks and sticks as Wes jabbed him again—but he powered through our barricade with groggy steps and began to crawl down the snowy slope. Jeff and Jordan lunged for his back paws, straining to hold on to him; Wes jumped on his back and grabbed his collar.

Trying to decide if the vibe I am getting is more "Star Wars sandcrawler" or more "House that can scooch itself somewhere else if it feels like it"

haveblue posted:I've never really understood why they use giant feet over, say, treads The feet on a walking dragline exert much less pressure on the ground compared to tracks and are much more durable. I thought I remembered they're faster, somewhere? By the time you're moving a machine that size over uneven ground you're never going to be going more than a couple meters a minute anyways. That kind of machine can reach a huge amount of ground from one spot so you don't generally have to move them very often or very far. It's not like it's going to be road-legal, if you have to move it outside the worksite you are going to have to take it apart anyways.

Oh I have one for this I posted in the Terrible Car Stuff thread. https://i.imgur.com/XRi69XQ.mp4 The ground isn't great to start with, and running those things over it just mulches it.

haveblue posted:I've never really understood why they use giant feet over, say, treads treads are pretty good if you're going in a straight line and don't care about loving up the ground entirely, but once you've got a machine beyond large then both the turn radius and the degree of ground destruction become disadvantagous the rocket pad crawler thing they use in spaceflight only has to go on a certain known route and you can pave that route

Can the feet move independently?

The whole thing rotates on the base with the feet up.

Uthor posted:Okay, I didn't think about it: how does a walker turn? Can the feet move independently? because the entire crane guy can rotate on top of the walker pad, this means also that you can have little legs on the crane guy which bear the weight and thus can lift up to rotate the walker pad in place. so imagine shuffling around on your knees to move, then using your arms to hold your entire body off the ground as you rotate your hips freely to establish a new direction you could probably do this with treads too but the weight of machinery involved at this scale would be another point in favor of walking over treads
