Crater Crawler is a large rover which can be controlled by intermediate players on Kerbin but excellent at maneuvering on low-G bodies like Mun and Minmus and it also works on planets like Eeloo and most moons in the game. It has a unique design in that it has many levels as if it was a manoeuvrable lab with many experiments and data on-board.

Description
The craft is a heavy, 10-wheeled rover which is purposed for bodies with lower gravity. It has RCS for extra manoeuvrability when leaping from surface to air, It has docking ports to possibly dock with other Crater Crawlers, rovers, or potentially dock to a base on another world. It also has a little probe attached to the top of the rover which can be used to send to places rovers cannot go (i.e sinkholes) or possibly to get contact to other bases on the other side of the planet. However, the top level cannot be accessed by Kerbals on bodies with gravity higher than Duna as you can't climb out of the ladder and rcs functionality is useless on gravity higher than Duna.
