Re: Propulsion that does not involve driving wheels
Why not the best of both worlds? Have two cims driving the wheels and two on a fan set up. You have the same driving characteristics of everyone else with an added speed and some handling boost. The wheels alone can brake so the fans dont have to be reversed.The fans can help turning a little and best of all help blow moon rocks away. If you really get fancy, you could come up with a herding system with the fans and blow them around on the ground like a leaf blower.
