Bug-E Buggy is an unmanned rover which can be fitted into the Rover + Skycrane craft found in the VAB. It cannot fit inside MK3 cargo bays without editing the craft as it's wheels are too wide for the ramp. It's name may be a reference to it's similarity to an insect (or a certain robot friend?)

Description

The craft is an 8-wheeled rover similar to the Rover and skycrane craft. It is solar-powered and will run out of electricity during nighttime which means missions can only be done between Nautical twilight,where Kerbol is 12° degrees below horizon; as the energy will deplete quickly after sundown. Furthermore, the energy used by the Illuminator Mk1 will drastically drain the energy from the rover, making missions when Kerbol is down quite difficult.
