David FNJ Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Location: C10 Marden Tags: Land Vehicle, Military, Exploration Double D's log 17: It's another week on Marden, but this time I get to test out a new kind of remote-controlled weapons system. I get to drive a sweet tank around in the snow and blow up things (mostly snow). The tank is part of a new lineup that MANTIS is doing - MANTIS Mini Tanks (MMT). Apparently you can control many of these tanks at once. What's also neat is that there are cameras on each tank can be seen on the controller's screen. I can definitely see these being very useful should MANTIS need a bunch of heavy-duty inexpensive tanks that pack a punch! This tank in particular comes equipped with a snow plow just in case. I wonder what other accessories it can have... ~ DD out --------------------------------------------------------------------- I like how compact the tank is, and I'm really pleased with the treads marks.

MysticModulus Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Real neat! I can see scientific uses as well... Quote
Kai NRG Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Excellent job with both the footprints and the tracks, I also really like the smooth landscape! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Lovely snowscape and the RC tank is a great idea The tank tracks are a definite highlight as well Quote
Piratedave84 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Nice Build! The thread tracks and footprints just make it for me! The tank is very neat as well, compact and definitely has that drone or ROV feel to it! Quote
Kodan Black Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Yeah, the tanks tracks in the snow is easily the coolest feature here. Nice subtle terrain too. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I love the compact yet bulky look of the tank, it looks indestructible Quote
SpacerSteve Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 That tank is cool. I really like how the snow tracks show the thread. Quote
