The Cargo Pod is a vehicle used for collecting supplies when Tracy Island is in need of resupplying. It has six large driving wheels, a robotic arm for grabbing items, and a cargo bay in the rear.
Overview[]
The Cargo Pod is a supply transport vehicle configured using a POD chassis. The Cargo Pod has a ground travel trolley with wheels on the bottom, a cargo bay on the back, and an extendable robotic arm on the side.
The Cargo Pod can also be configured using the Space Pod chassis, which possesses a ground travel trolley with wheels on the bottom, and has the ability to pull a trailer.
Launch Sequence[]
To launch the Cargo Pod using the POD chassis, the operator steps on the platform in Thunderbird 2’s cockpit, lowering them into the module. They then select the Cargo Pod configuration. Robotic arms attach the ground travel trolley with wheels to the bottom, the extendable robotic arm to the side, and the cargo bay to the back. Once configured, the operator gets into the POD, and the module door opens, ready for the Cargo Pod to be deployed.
To launch the Cargo Pod using the Space Pod chassis, the operator exits the cockpit and enters the cargo bay. They then select the Cargo Pod configuration. Robotic arms attach the ground travel trolley with wheels to the bottom. Once configured, the operator gets into the Space Pod, and the cargo bay door opens, ready for the Rescue Pod to be pushed out and lowered to the ground so that it can be deployed.
