Review: 41697 Friends Turtle Protection Vehicle

I needed this set for one of the parts so I figured since it was under my self-imposed size limit I'd review it for you.

Build.  Battlecart (2Rh/1Gd8/2Y/2W) and 1 Hit piece of Cover.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  Another good Friends set.  Six more pieces would have given this a +15 score.
