Lego Mindstorms NXT Split Chassis Steering

Posted by Rich | Filed under Lego, Mistakes, Rollers

Here is an idea I have been playing with for a little while. Instead of simply doing a car with regular steering, I wanted to try a split chassis design where the front of the car rotates in the direction you want to turn. Here are two attempts, but I abandoned any further design after driving both around with my phone via bluetooth. The steering is too inaccurate to use for an autonomous robot, but it is fun to drive.

    It is a 4×4 . I made the flexible join with an axle, technic triangle and several 24 tooth gears.
