Inspired by this page of a "Shrimp" where I found additional information I built this amazing all terrain rover. You find another Lego version here.
It has six wheels, each powered by it's own motor. They are all powered by a simple battery box. The rover is able to climb over really high obstacles as you can see.

Here it is the RIS box, that is 11cm high. The wheel itself has a diameter of about 8.4cm!

You can see the 1MB mpg- movie here.
