I don't know why I thought to do this, but now I wish I had the resources to try it... Can you mimic a car's ECU in terms of engine management- using only vanilla bricks and sensors- well enough to make it run correctly? I'm talking about removing the car's ECU and all the sensors that provide engine feedback (ie. knock, cam position, map/maf, etc.), replacing them all with LEGO counterparts, then programming the NXT/EV3 bricks to properly manage the engine during normal and extreme driver inputs. Theoretically it should work, but I'd definitely get a kick out of someone with more money than myself trying this IRL!

Yes, I know this is ultimately completely pointless. :grin:
