AR-X Symbiote Rover
WELCOME TO TOMMY’S ROOM
If you can’t find the machine you want, you are obligated to build it.
You are here because the showroom floor failed you.
You looked at the modern automotive landscape—the appliances, the safety bubbles, the sanitized screens—and you felt nothing. You grew up dreaming of light cycles, starfighters, and mechs, only to be told that those machines live inside render farms and movie screens. They aren’t “real.”
I reject that.
Welcome to Tommy’s Room. This is a digital workshop dedicated to a single, radical premise: I take the “Fiction” out of Science Fiction and replace it with engineering, fabrication, and physics. This is not a concept art gallery. This is a build log for the impossible.
THE PROJECT: AR SERIES
Autoscifi is the brand. It is the philosophy of “Futuristic Tinkering.” It is the belief that with enough ingenuity, we can drag the machines of the future out of our imagination and onto the asphalt.
THE SUBJECT: THE SYMBIOTE ROVER
The flagship of this initiative is the AR-X. It is an omni-directional, terrestrial exploration platform designed to function as an immersive flight simulator on wheels.
The AR-X is not a single object; it is a biological system of interchangeable modules:
* The Endo-Frame: The rigid structural skeleton. The bones of the machine.
* The Deflectors: A system of semi-translucent Onyx-Glass armor panels that float magnetically over the frame. They provide a stealth “Shadow-Form” aesthetic, offering a ghostly view of the mechanics beating underneath.
* The Thrusters: Hubless, direct-drive propulsion units equipped with Venom Treads, capable of omni-directional movement.
* The Parallax: An immersive, augmented cockpit where the pilot interfaces via the Symbiote—a haptic control rig that translates human nerve impulses into machine movement.
THE MISSION
The AR-X is built on the philosophy of “Null-G Translation.” It manipulates physics to keep the pilot in perfect equilibrium, making the terrain feel like it is moving beneath you, rather than you moving over it.
Tommy’s Room is the Workshop Manual for that reality.
In the coming posts, I will be declassifying the engineering behind the Autoscifi project. We will break down the Pylon robotics, the Core energy systems, and the Collector manipulation arrays.
If you are a builder, a dreamer, or an engineer of the nonexistent—you found the right place.
Stop watching the future. Start wrenching on it.
The Lab
-
Donut Labs Motor
Revolutionary rim motor for EVs. I discovered this motor the other morning. Opening up the wheel hub leaves a lot of space for braking systems.
-
Electrostatic Motors
The electrostatic motor’s light weight.
-
PCB Motors
Axial flux motors for smaller applications.
