Probe Droid

#1
Here is another one of my droids. He doesn't look extremely elaborate but he was tricky to dial in. At first I attempted to make all his arms fully functional but that was too difficult considering the size I made him but I had to make him small to keep him to scale with the rest of the droids. So the arms don't bend but their hands open and close and one arm has a laser at the end of it. It was hard to make him hover but I got it as close to hovering as I could.

The Probe Droid has an anti-gravity system to make him almost weightless.
He's equipped with 5 arms. 2 with grasping hands and one with a laser.
He has 2 communication antennas.
He is equipped with a small cannon for protection.

Mods used in blueprint:

Utility Pack 0.5.0 - PicoSpace Industries (Used for his grasping hands)
Kerbal flight simulator 1.1 - Mac (used for the communication antennas and arms)
Lasers v1.0.0 - Wuenace (used for the self defense cannon)
MoreParts Pack v4.0.3 - dani0105 (used for the anti-gravity system)

He is a bit tricky to control but not hard to get the hang of. To control his movement you first activate the anti-gravity system by clicking the rotor in the stage menu and the engine key. Set it to full power in earth's gravity, you can adjust the power as needed in other gravity situations. Then you activate the RCS engines, this lets you move him up, down, left and right. To move him left and right you don't use the left and right RCS keys you use the left and right tilt keys and tilt him in the desired direction. If you find yourself loosing control of him just turn off the anti-gravity system and let him settle to the ground. It sounds a little complicated but you will see it's not.
