Haha! Would you even be able to drive like this!?! It would be really awesome to see, but i don't know if the robot could get enough grip on the regolith to pull both of the trailers at the same time and still get enough speed not to get completely tossed around... it might be something to try.

Would you also fit within the LAUNCHING PAD?
