Starbase - Selíni - Moon Walker 2021

Σελήνη (Greek for Moonwalker) is a new experiment - Hexapod system for planetary exploration and mining (It has one mining laser bellow the cockpit). The trick is, it can convert to spaceship, using main thruster battery in vertical and horizontal configuration. It is WiP and the next step is to program Hexapod movement pattern - simple first, then with turning and solving terrain obstacles using sensors (alotofsensors). It should be able to work as hovercraft too (4x box thruster at the back and 24 triangles down bellow) and I plan to make a program for jumping using thruster boost with automatic landing sequence. Due to its dual nature, the ship requires 5 separate pipelines and a lot of yolol chips to function properly in both modes. Almost all thrusters are used in both modes, but for different purposes and that also requires 2x the best FCU. Will share progress as it goes ;)
