[BUC] LEGO Full Size Skateboard / Hoverboard V0.1

[Burf2000]

My good friend Henrik gave me a great idea, build a LEGO Skateboard / Hoverboard that uses Rotacaster Omni Directional wheels as its the year of Back to the Future.

Here is a quick rough prototype of it. It is supporting my weight at 85KG.

It uses 8 NXT's, 16 NXT motors and 8 Rotacaster wheels

Next version to be stronger, and look cooler!

I had another go after the filming had stopped and was great fun, until I fell off lol

nice work, looks like a lot of fun

now you need a larger area to film

[Burf2000]

Yeah your right, finding somewhere to try it out is always the hardest part!

[Jim]

Nice work dude! Been too long since we've seen one of Burf's Unusual Creations

I've renamed your topic with a dedicated label [bUC]

[Burf2000]

Thanks mate, thats awesome! Hope to bring a lot more in 2015, this is only v0.1

This is truly a unique idea and I love the way it moves, awesome work Burf!

[Burf2000]

Thanks mate, I hope I can make it go side to side by reversing some of the motors.

This is now going to be at LEGOWORLD next week. Trying to make it look better, here is a slight redesign

Here is a new video of it from LEGOWORLD Copenhagen

I always thought the important part of the hoverboard was the hovering .

My turn next.

[Meatman]

That is neat and definitely a first. I can hear those motors crying from here. Great job.

Seeing your previous stuff I am not surprised to see you attempting the impossible with some sort of success =D

It certainly looks like it floats along even if you can't see the air between the board and the surface it is on :P

Most impressive stuff yet again!

Every office in the world needs one of these to relieve employees' from walking.

This is awesome, apparently, where we're going, we don't need roads.

[King Aragorn]

Crazy idea!

The first video is really impressive!

[Zerobricks]

That is really awesome! Any way you could make it a bit faster?

Great work! Waiting for segway. :)

[Burf2000]

It was a fun event, sadly he did not have a go, which to be fair is safer :)

The Segway has already kinda been done by me

V2 of the board will be faster :)

Very nice! Maybe soon you'll be able to make it fly!
