I challenge you to come up with and build a functional (and hopefully good-looking) vehicle that is propelled in a creative way. Stretch your brain! Also, since this is not a competition, there will be no winners. I’m just hoping someone makes something really cool.

    I hope this gives you some inspiration:
    Examples of things that move: rotators, torpedos, pistons, etc
    Wheels can help reduce friction on the ground, wings can turn wind into motion, buoyant fuselages can keep you above the water, and airbrakes can be used to jump up off the ground, if only for a second, etc. think about something in the game that has even a slim chance of making you move. It doesn’t have to be pretty, fast, or anything. You’re allowed to blow stuff up or break the physics engine. This isn’t even a competition, so don’t think that you have to make the best thing ever, either. Just stretch your brain, and see what happens. :D @Colonel1J2R3Wolf

    Does it have to be something new we made? I already built a strange little walker

    Seems legit, but how do we pro-pulse our vehicles without the normal engines?
