1992 Batmobile

This is a hover vehicle (HV) of the famous 1992 Cartoon "limousine" Batmobile from 1992's Batman: The Animated Series.

If you like this vehicle, please "Thumbs up" this page! It alerts me to the content people like and what I should build next.

This specific HV really is designed to be a 1:1 replica of the Batmobile. Here is the breakdown of Pros and Cons:

Pros:
- It is fully enclosed, airtight, and ventilated.
- It has most survival necessary gear (O2 station, Armor locker, Medkit under dash, Fridge)
- It is armed with Gatling guns
- There is actually a shield generator so it offers advanced defense.
- It has Jump Pads.

Cons:
- Docking requires a Beam or Beam Quarter "landing pad" on the floor. See my 1989 Batmobile:

Docking:
Unlike all other vehicles, HV's only have one method of docking: a docking pad (no retractable landing gear option). Because of how physics works on HV's (and SV's for that matter) any structural block, regardless of shape, will have a full cube block's collision volume when colliding with a CV, a Base, or terrain. As a result, "Thin" wall blocks used as flooring (as with this Batmobile) will cause a full block's worth of collision, effectively raising the vehicle one full block, making it "hover" even when the power is off, because it is resting on the invisible, larger collision volume of this/these thin wall block(s). If a docking pad is on the same "level" as these wall blocks, their collision will effectively render the docking pad useless, as the HV will not be able to go low enough to make the pad have contact with the ground.

The solution, is to create a large enough area around the docking pads free of any other wall blocks, and to add either a Beam or Quarter beam "landing pad" that the HV can land on, as that "pad" will be free to "slot" into the relief made by the docking pad. See pictures and comment if you have any questions on this specific workaround.

Design notes:
After the success of my 1989 Batmobile, I decided to take a crack at teh Animated Series one, my second favorite Batmobile. Unlike that one this one's bigger wheels will allow it to actually sit on the ground.
