As Febrovery rolls to a close, it’s time for a final rover roundup! [Feature]

Alas, Febrovery has reached the end of the road. If only February were a few days longer, then we would get more amazing LEGO rovers rolling across distant moons. On the other hand, more days might burn out those hard-working builders creating a new build each day. Let’s celebrate our favorite rovers from the second half of the month. In case you missed it, here is is our mid-month roundup. Tell us in the comments which rover you’d most like to take for a spin!

Two-seater Monowheel Rover by Wynd

We lead with greebles courtesy of this delightful monowheel from builder Wynd. It’s a fresh spin on her rover from last year, maintaining the neo-classic space vibes, but expanding for an extra passenger and bringing in a rubber tire.

Pizza Planet Rover by Scott Wilhem

The Toy Story aliens get a slick ride, thanks to Scott, in a color combo I don’t think I’ve ever seen in LEGO. Take a closer look at those wheels and you’ll notice there are no hubs. With tires like that, suspension must be a dream(zzz). There’s something fishy about the rover’s tail, though…

Pink Rover by Thomas Lundström

Speaking of unconventional colors, Thomas rolls out a rover all in pink with wheels that should have no problem skating over craters.

Blue Moon Mining Rover by Erin Dempsey

Monochrome rovers? Erin must have been feeling blue (da ba dee) when she made this mining rover.

Van Life Rover by Frost

How do you pick just one more build from Febrovery royalty Frost? This chonky caravan stole my heart with its retro ’80s colors and cozy vibes. As if 28 unique rovers weren’t enough, Frost also innovated with different space foliage in each daily scene, and these shrub trees are maybe my favorite technique. Nice cameo from Ids’ Blacktron bot too!

Viking Rover by Martin Spunkt

How do you pillage up-river when the streams are frozen? With a rover, or course! Martin rolls his raiders across the ice in this clever amphibious longboat with a prow design from Jonas Kramm.

Garbage Rover by Ids de Jong

Following Ids’ B1 and B3 robots on their rover-filled search for space wolves has been a highlight of this year’s Febrovery. Every scene is a delight, but for clever builds, the builder’s Garbage Rover is my favorite. The colors, cockpit, and mech leg wheel struts on the Kisora CT30 are perfect.

Hive Roller Rover by Pascal

Pascal just might take the prize for biggest parts flex with the Hive Roller’s wheels made from 32 purple cocoons! Of course, this is only a fraction of the builder’s collection of this nifty part. Wheels aside, the colors and the sweet decor are perfect.

Herover by Áron Gerencsér

For this toyrific rover, Áron draws on the Hero Factory theme. As much fun as it is to see the Hero Factory mini bots at the wheel, I think they’re missing the non-violent ethos of Febrovery. I’ll just choose to believe that the ball launcher is for playing fetch with space wolves.

Accordia Rover by Shannon Sproule

Shannon calls this rover the Accordia, but while I can recognize an accordian in the undulating body, with the “antennae” and tiny wheels, I can’t help but see a caterpillar chewing up the lunar scenery.

Forager 1 Rover by Wilderland Builds

Jarret just started posting builds to flickr and Instagram this year, but if this woodland rover is anything to go by, we’ll be featuring a lot more from the builder in the future.

Ship It Rover by Walter Whiteside Jr.

Walter imagines a future where M-Tron astronauts have settled distant worlds, but the same corporations are in charge of handling shipments. If you think this towering build is big, check out Walter’s follow-up Cargo Mover Crane that handles unloading those containers!

Towering Two-Wheel Rover by Space Kook

Over the course of 9 days, the aptly named Space Kook grew a humble single-passenger rover into a towering classic space base/amusement park. The picture above is from the penultimate stage as, tragically, the rover came toppling down moments after the final antennae section was added. If only for a moment, Space Kook got the entire 103-stud high behemoth to balance on just two wheels!

Radar Ranging Rover by David Roberts

On the other side of the size spectrum, legendary space builder David Roberts rolls up with a microscale rover. It may only contain 15 parts, but it looks epic.

Roller Coaster Bubble Rover by Andreas Lenander

Once again, Andreas shows that there’s no ceiling on whimsy when it comes to what constitutes a rover wheel. Sorry, kids. You must be 48″ high to ride this E-ticket rover.

Space Plant Clean-Up Rover by Penelope

Penelope’s black and gold rover has champagne looks but is on a noble mission to ensure every space plant is growing in the right biome. Sorry, spikey coral tree. This is cactus country. Also, let’s pour one out for the Vidyo line of minifigs. The world wasn’t ready for your joy.

Fabulous Dino Rover by Crimso Giger

Fabuland is having a moment back in Bilund, but not even Stubot could dream up a mash-up like this! Does it seem odd that a Fabuland critter would be using a fellow beast for burden? Well, as Crimso reminds us, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Celestial Spiralizer Screw-propulsion Rover by Austin Vail

Ordinary wheels are a poor fit for the snowy terrain of Ice Planet. Austin has an ingenious alternative – a rover that runs atop screw-shaped pontoons! The screws are 3D printed but everything else is pure LEGO, including the radio control kit that lets this rover slide across the snow. See it in motion!

Road-Building Rover by Jan Schönherr-Wacker

Jan is a fresh face in the Neo-Classic Space scene but has already created some stunning retro rocket builds. This road-building rover runs on greebles and makes short work of troublesome craters with those grinding gears.

Big Red Wiggles Rover by Entertainingly lame

Before there was Bluey, the Wiggles were Australia’s top preschool export, and now they too appear in LEGO form courtesy of Entertainingly lame’s bonkers rover mash-up.

Vincent van Rover by Jake Forbes

After surveying so many rovers, how could I not get in on the fun? With LEGO Art 31215 Sunflowers and Starry Night sitting on my workbench, I imagined Van Gogh’s paintings as the building blocks of an alien world. Conveniently the large sunflowers are perfectly sized hubs for the wheels on the excellent Space Research Rover. Thanks to Daniel for helping me composite the elements for the scene.

Well, that wraps up Febrovery 2025. See you next year, space rovers!
