The wheels were made by pushing the studs of three stacked 1x1 round plates into either side of a 1x2 technic joiner plate and then shoving a tyre over the plates. I used plates rather than a 1x1 round brick because the ribbing provides a better grip for the tyre (see diagram). From the top, the LL-701's nickname, "the Armadillo", is apparant: the shape of the narrow cockpit and wide cargo-hold resembles the animal. A long-range sensor on top ensures LL-701 is always in communication with its mother ship.
