Vehicle Concept

I proceeded with my thumbnails in Photoshop to develop them into my final concept.

 I enlarged and worked into one of the thumbnails and added more detail, some of which I carried over into the final concept, two of the main parts being the intake jets and the magnetic net at the rear.

I continued with the idea of a magnetic sphere to catch the floating rocks and did on Wikipedia and found that solenoids creating a strong enough magnetic field could both draw the rocks in and demagnetize them.

I continued on my designs for the legs/arms and decided on a drill piece for the arm.

  Happy with the separate parts I had created I combined them to make my final concept, from which I would base my model
