  • My custom built motorized, steerable, remote control LEGO Monowheel. I originally started making this as a proof of concept for a LEGO BB8 droid model.
    It is controlled using the 2 Power Functions M Motors and a counter weight based propulsion/steering system.

    At the beginning, you think, "hey this looks pretty good!" Then it shows it breaking down the stairs.
    Imagine if car commercials worked the same.

    The problems you mentioned about this model are things that I would have NO idea how to fix, but it seems like you already have some ideas for improvements. Just shows how good you are at working with LEGO. I'm excited to see an improved model of this, but even the way it is now is pretty neat!

    Wonderful system. I would like to suggest a servo for steering. If you use either remote, click reset/let go and it centers.

  • @barebos
    @barebos 8 років тому

    Again a great idea and wonderful execution on the design of the ball. For the first version it already looks good.
    To centre the counter weight you could use a PF servo with a small liftarm attached to move the counter weight. Press the red button on the remote and the counter weight will centre. And like mentioned before in the comments is to use a Sbrick. This gives faster control over the fast moving ball compared to the train remote. Good luck on improving this idea. Although it has been done before this is the best RC ball I have seen so far.

    Also it seems you are rotating a dial for the counterweight to function, use an axle rod in the hole and one of the peices that were on the Bohrok sets that were eyes so that it always points to where the central balance point is. KUTGW!

    Just a quick idea for focus in the video: Position the object by hand at distance it's gonna be away from the camera when it's moving and focus the camera, then disable auto focus. This way when the object is of the frame and just passes by for a short time, camera won't focus on the walls.
