[EV3] Chopp3Rod - Motorized Hot Rod Convertible

[DamonMM2000]

I went retro this time around and decided to build something as big as I could without compromising the look. Chopp3Rod is the result of many hours of work, sporting both an attractive interior and exterior. The wheels are driven by independent direct drive via two Large Motors. A complex program allows the drivetrain to mimic a differential since a real differential was not used. Therefore it has an electronic differential! It sports many details, including a V12 engine, transparent lights, a Color Sensor headlight, comfy seats, clear quarter-panel windows, side exhaust, curvy wheel arches, rear tonneau cover, custom wheel hubs, and more! I am really happy with this model and how it turned out.

That is an, erm... Interesting vehicle. Proportionwise it is totally over the top, it is so wiiiide :)

But I find the electronic diff a really interesting concept. Does it also work proportionally with the steering angle? Or is it just 3 settings ( left right straight)

While the optics are debatable, the differential concept is certainly interesting. It reminds me a little of "torque vectoring" that is used in some high performance cars.

Thank you! It has return-to-center steering, just left center and right.
