It is intended to recover vehicle cost by returning to spawn area and despawning the Gecko.

Gecko can climb moderate slopes. Be careful going over ridge lines as sometimes they belly will bottom out. Only the front wheel have power. Ramps and lighter uneven ground is fine. Heavily jagged ground will cause problems.

BBW Columbia Gen3
A slightly deepened hull for keeping the main deck higher above the water as per an operator request. This also gave more height below deck with room for a second sleeping bed. Now with speargun for shark encounters.

BBW Thelon
Thelon design began as improving on the Gen 3 to reduce slipping off the deck. Improvements continued to fully enclose the upper engine and cargo bay. It is now well suited to operating in arctic conditions with increased heating and durability. Armor and rifles for defence from wildlife.
