 The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... - s_forbes [more] |

I'm not sure if it has be a land-based machine but I could imagine a model aircraft controlled by GPS. It has been done before for a round trip of 26 miles and worked flawlessly. If we made a larger one that could carry a lot more fuel, I think that would work. Or perhaps rig an old Cessna full size single engine aircraft to operate autonomously by GPS.
Or wait, better yet, a blimp. The helium provides the lift so the only energy needed would be for propulsion and we could work it out with the wind in our favor.. If it must be land-based, just forget it.
