Framework supported ALLGO

The tripedal structure uses a triangular like structure to shift the shoulder weight away from the inflatable tubes on to the framework. The framework can also be used as a mount for additional Solar arrays. and also offer light kinetic protection. Cables and pneumatic hose are also suggested to be mounted alongside the Framework, to allow for easier accessibility in case repairs have to be made.The battery's are positioned on the bases of the Legs to lower the center of mass, which increases stability and allows for a higher payload.I recommend that you develop a standardized battery system for all the vehicles and robots of the Artemis program. This allows for greater flexibility in case of technical problems or power scarcity. The External Power Connector woud also be pugged in to the battery bay.The wheels are mounted in a way that allows to drive the vehicle in an inflated state to allow for easier transporting and packaging.The Vehicle can be modified to carry large payloads by using an additional extender module to couple to ALLGO's together.The vehicle weight is estimated to be around 1.7 up to 2.3 metric tons, depending on material used.vehicle dimensions are given in the PDF file "ALLGO overview" (in millimeters)some contra points of this design are:-in order to use the External Power Connector one battery has to be pulled out to make place for the connecter, this means that one Battery wont be charged.-the Aluminum Framework adds a lot of weight to the vehicle. (but i think the structural benefits are worth it)-the battery's, hinges and wheels are pretty poorly designed, but i hope you get the idea.-no static simulations were done.
