I’m guessing that the issue was structural strength a larger opening would have compromised the chassis. It’s not that bad, even as it is. And doesn’t it have a fronk anyway?

You guys just completely ignored every version of star trek other than the T.O.S. What about Data? What about wormhole travel in T.N.G. or D.S.9?

I think he'd get better luck putting a pair of thrusters at the hips or slightly forward of the hips as well. Runners get their speed by not touching the ground for as long as possible, so a bit more "levitation" would dramatically increase speed. However, the current angle is very good.

Wait: "the Putter" is a verb? Help?
