=Overview=
 
The [[Power Cube]] is a modular, universal, self-contained power unit consisting of an engine coupled to a hydraulic pump,  providing power from hydraulic fluid at high pressure through quick connect hoses.  It is designed to function as a modular and interchangeable power supply for [[GVCS]] technologies.
 
A lot was learned in the assembly of the previous 6 Power Cubes. Power Cube 7 incorporates several changes for modularity and to improve maintainability.
