Hi ShadowTear, its a good suggestion, and for certain things I'm definitely going to use them, but in this case, charging via a small merge block would require a small grid charging station attached to the base it draws power from.

The way it is currently set up only needs some wall space and a rotor head on the base, so its simpler.

Since the small 1x1 merge block was introduced, have you considered using that as a way to charge small grids like this one? Seems like it would be a lot easier for most people.

That would definitely be something I would do 😉

I'll try that, thanks man. Wanna bet I tried like 8 times and never managed to face the connector down?

Hi kaito, sorry it's so delayed, but I think might know the issue.

On the vehicle, the 180 degree mark is at the top, so you want to place the side of the LG rotor head with the line on it (that marks the 0 degree angle) facing down.

Hey Spite!

Can't seem to figure out how to place the rotor head in a way that it doesn't try to twist the rover into a knot, and flip it when it undocks. Please advise?

Thanks!

That docking rotor is actually pretty awesome. Nice trick
