DOUGHNUT ROVER: NASA'S SCRAMBLE BUG TESTS

The Scramble Bug is a favourite of many SWORD collectors. There's just something about the articulated motion. As a kid I got my Bug to clamber over books, rugs, cushions, Airfix armies and even Action Men!


I found this cool  footage on You Tube of NASA's early tests for an articulated vehicle like the Bug. I love the doughnut wheels! This concept also featured in an article in LIFE magazine. Anyhoos, here goes. I've set the timer to start where the 'Bug' appears [before that is the archimedes screw vehicle]: You Tube Scramble Bug.
