#11 - Lay Z Gravichair

Builder: deathdog

The telepathically controlled "Lay Z Gravichair"! A telepathically-controlled hoverchair. (My god, I'd love to have one these -- would make getting those game-time snacks so much better.)

Tranquility Says:

"I fear I don't have the mental discipline required to operate one of these. My subconscious thoughts might betray me (e.g.., I'm supposed to be working, but I somehow end up at the nearest coffee shop with a latte and choc-chip muffin.)"

#12 - Hovaround

Builder: shepherdweb

The hovaround is truly state-of-the-art in the world of assisted mobility. The anti-grav "wheels" glow a light orange when pushed into turbo mode. Turbo mode gives you that extra push when you need more elevation; this is useful for tasks like changing lightbulbs in the ceiling lamp or putting up Christmas decorations! Meanwhile, the dynamic stabilizer in the rear, which also acts as a kind of "rudder", emits a low hum and glows a soft blue. The back rest is constructed from padded glass to allow the user 360 degree visibility. Sophisticated, yet intuitive, computer controls handle not only maneuvering the Hovaround, but also can be upgraded with a home remote system allowing you to control your entire home's electric and electronic devices from a central location.

"Intriguing. Don't need the ability to change light bulbs though, that's what staff are for :-D"

#13 - The CosmoSeat 4000

Builder: captainsmog

The CosmoSeat 4000 is the last model of seat for persons with weak motricity out of the Astromedic TM factory.
Of a perfect comfort, solidity and safety, this seat will allow you to make everything as if you could walk without any problem!

And here you can find the description of our incredible seat: http://i85.servimg.com/u/f85/11/95/74/54/chair411.jpg


I'm from Switzerland.

Tranquility Says:

"Sweet! Techie! Almost verging on mech-cockpit though, but still manages to be about the occupant, not the machine."

#14 - StarkRolla

Builder: Lich_Barrister

[description taken from the Flickr page; further detail offered in the pictures offered in the full album]

I am from Canada, so I forego all opportunities for shiny objects.

The foremost modifier company for 22nd century Stark Enterprises wheelchairs is StarkRolla. The "Home Slide" model, when pimped out by StarkRolla, became the "HollaSide."

As a general rule, Stark Enterprises did not offer any models in the colours of the corporate bodyguard/CEO alter ego/divisive figure, Iron Man. StarkRolla regularly did, and the HollaSide offered copious amounts of gold to go with the deep crimson. Curiously, this colour scheme also matched well with the red jackets of Lego minifigures which sported the logo of the "Classic Space" line, best known from its use in the webcomic "Tranquility Base."

The HollaSide is driven by a 9th-generation phebotinum drive, housed in the armoured section between and above the primary wheels. It is capable of travel three sentences ahead of the speed of plot. (This is an upgrade over the factory model, which only offers a maximum speed of a paragraph behind the speed of plot; wheelchair riders now can anticipate plot twists and punchlines with ease.) The primary wheels, which feature oversized gold rims and low profile racing tires, not only provide primary propulsion but also computer-assisted corrective balance and maximum street cred. Steering is the responsibility of the small fore and aft wheels, depending upon the drive configuration in use.

The HollaSide offers two drive configurations. The first is a jacked up version of the factory standard, and the second is a lowered street-legal race version. (It is made legal by the addition of headlights, turn lights, and brake lights, all of which have the option to be within or to exceed the allowable limits for tolerable luminosity. The brake lights are housed within an appropriately impressive amount of chrome.) In case of low interior spaces, the wheelchair can safely operate in its street configuration indoors while terrifying those without such a fine ride.

The forewheels, always visible, are rendered in a muscular gunmetal, while the aft wheels are in a discrete midnight black when deployed. All of this is done to ensure that maximum street cred can be enjoyed by the owner/driver. The three sets of wheels can we used to climb stairs in less enlightened areas lacking ramps, too. (StarkRolla disdains any company that claims to offer a wheelchair but does not place a wheel on the product, but they are, of course, purists.)

To be street safe, the driver's seat had to be surrounded by side impact panels and offer full spinal support and protection. This has been achieved with an eye to style, aerodynamics, and visible arms for the purposes of demonstrative gestures. The side panels fold down to assist the driver in disembarking, and the back support is designed to raise and lower the driver to and from position. The side panels also offer mounting hardpoints for bling, weaponry, or other desirable and covetous items. The model shown here originally sported replicas of Scaramanga's Golden Gun and Count Dooku's lightsabre, but once the designed revealed that this was done so that he could rap the pun "roll up on them like Christopher Lee," the switch was made to a replica of Alec Guinness's instead. (The designer was forced to serve time reviewing the collected works of Joe Estevez without "Satellite of Love"-derived commentary as punishment.) The replica of the gun features name-and-shoot defense technology, as well as broadbeam rays to smooth out uneven ground. The replica of the lightsabre houses a full range of optical, auditory, olfactory, and taste sensors, particularly to assist in the selection of the freshest produce at the market as well as to monitor traffic conditions and potential threats to either person or plotline.

The driver's controls are focused upon an electronic display and two levers. The levers are for vintage tanker-style steering as well as for manual wheel propulsion in case of low phlebotinum charges. (The depleted phlebotinum chassis and body of the wheelchair is exceptionally light and strong, except when necessary for the sake of literary or dramatic effect.) The electronic display can be controlled by voice, exhalation/inhalation, anxiety, and emphatic gestures, or even by touch interface if you're into that sort of thing.

In case of rollover, two LampShaydeHanga (TM) force fields with fully independent power sources and focal antennae are situated directly behind the head of the driver to ensure driver safety, no matter how contrived or unlikely.

The StarkRolla HollaSide is simply the most luxe wheelchair that the fictional future has to offer.

Tranquility Says:

"Well this one had me laughing out loud. It's awfully big and probably not practical, as well as being rather too close to a mech, but man does it get a lot of awesome and cool point."

"Great parts usage here, with the Spongebob Squarepants rocket nozzle as the cockpit. Ah yes, I said “cockpit” - oh dear. But it is rather awesome. I also like the retro analogue clock."

Tranquility Says:

"Not really a wheelchair or wheelchair descendent, is it? More like one of those scooters you (mostly) see elderly people ride on to the shops. It is, however, a perfect Classic Space vehicle, which warms the cockles of my heart!"

#20 - Untitled

Builder: trackandtoll

Hard to enjoy the ability to move around when you have you best friend on the back telling you were to go. Nobody like a back head driver.

Tranquility Says:

"More of a spaceship/shuttle/scooter really. And, as for the backseat driver head – no, just no."
