Concept & direction LNK
The 407 core recipes in Section 12 prioritize broad onboarding coverage. These 64 additional cases deliberately stress rare support, propulsion, control, scale and transition combinations. Together the document supplies 471 named seed recipes while preserving the rule that an unnamed combination is still valid.

Each row must resolve through the same facets and graphs as an ordinary scooter or truck. Experimental maturity is a sourced assertion; conceptual mechanisms are not presented as certified, practical or commercially available.Canonical recipe family Support + domain Propulsion / mobility agency Decisive differentiator Mecanum autonomous mobile robot Rigid floor; four wheels Battery-electric independent angled-roller wheel vectors Lateral translation without steering the wheel planes Self-balancing monowheel Road; single wheel contact Electric wheel torque Usable equilibrium is an actively controlled inverted pendulum Spherical rolling robot Floor/terrain; shell contact Internal pendulum, flywheel or moving-mass reaction Body shell is also the locomotion interface Archimedes-screw vehicle Snow, mud, sand and sometimes water; helical drums Rotating helical surface reaction Same interface reacts differently against solid mixture and liquid Ice yacht Ice runners + atmosphere Wind sail plus runner lateral reaction Ambient airflow supplies energy; runners supply side force Magnetic wall crawler Ferromagnetic wall/ceiling Magnetic adhesion + wheel/track traction Adhesion supplies support while traction supplies travel Vibration bristlebot Rigid surface; angled bristles Eccentric vibration rectified by asymmetric friction No conventional wheel, leg or fluid propulsor Gravity racer Sloped road; wheels Gravity/elevation potential Controllable mobile vehicle with no onboard propulsion converter
