Translation Clip "a" : The Ropod is a refurbished mobile drilling platform that has been used for drilling and enlarging the vertical access shafts for the mining operations at the CraaTerm. It had to cross 200 km of sand desert land for reaching that destination. It can cruise at about one km/h. It can crawl on the sand, without being stuck, with the help of its undulating "foot." Each undulation starts from the forward end and progresses towards the trailing end, without disturbing the sand. Once the cycle has completed, the platform advances one step forward on its "foot." This represents one step cycle. Clip "b" : It has been modified as a heavy cargo crawler, in order for being able to carry the 850-tons main piece of a Hyprop reactor. It was operated, non-stop, by a team of 10 Big-Feet females : 2 pilots, 2 machine operators, 4 technicians, 2 cooks who were also trained as first-aid nurses. Clip "c" : The step cycle N: Start of a cycle N: The undulations progress towards the back. N: The cycle's end Clip "d" : Even with a load of 1500 tone, it can climb any dune without sinking, nor disturbing the sand. It can turn, advance, back up, and crawl sideways. During a sand storm, it has to stay on the crest of a dune. Clip "e" : N: Marc was on board during the whole trajectory that lasted 2 weeks. He was unable to communicate with me since he has left Norcan. I was wondering about why Marc has to accompany this shipment on the Ropod.
