Why attack wheels to suitcases when you can make a wheel a suitcase. Rooz Mousavi has done exactly that he designed the Obag. The form in the Obag makes it easier to move, maneuver and even drag up and down the stairs. The Obag has 2 compartments which open up like an atomic bomb, that’s kinda cool. It’s a not in production yet, however, I hope it will be soon.

So I guess the next step for MAD is to design an anti-grav engine - good luck to them.
