My second robot
@ February 7, 2008
Drives really fast, but poor, as both rear wheels turn the same, and no weight on front
Time to build:
5 hours
- Actuators / output devices: 1 motor drive, one motor steering
- CPU: Picaxe
- Operating system: Picaxe
- Power source: 7, 2 V Racing pack for drive, 3 DD-cells for brains
- Programming language: Basic
- Sensors / input devices: SRF05
- Target environment: indoor, outdoor
This time I wanted a faster robot. No turning head, just some parts from old toy, mocked up, and getting much too high voltage!
It went completely beserk, but frankly; It was quite a poor robot, haha. (But fun)

The other motor is mounted
The other motor is mounted up front and turns the front wheels from side to side, just like one a regular car

Yes :) Thanks,
Yes :) Thanks, maneuver!
Problem, however here, the wheels at the back are locked to each other, they cannot turn independently. This makes it quite crap at steering.
On the project "Wall Racers" I use that to make the car slide / skid. On the project "Skiwalker", there is a short explanation in the video. Member in here, Jip has at some point made some walkthrough on how to make the wheels pull diferentiated by using Lego.
Project "Forfrabagfra" uses 2 times differentiated pull.
.. And this robot, on this page, btw; It was crap at steering, it took a whole football arena to make a turn; Back wheels locked, but with much grip and weight. Front wheels almost no weight, and slick tires.. Really a bad project, but one has to learn :)
