LEGO Technic Carver remote controlled three-wheeled vehicle

[thomas92]

Hi all, first post here. Made this using Pybricks, it's pretty straightforward but there is a neat little mechanism in there with two differentials that allows the vehicle to roll freely independent of the motor.

Also programmed it so that the vehicle tilts depending on the speed and the steering angle. Because of the space the three motors and the hub take up, I didn't really have space for a passenger seat. Let me know what you think!
 

  

while Button.B not in controller.buttons.pressed():
    power = controller.triggers()[1] - controller.triggers()[0]
    steer_percentage = controller.joystick_left()[0]

    steer_percentage = 0 if abs(steer_percentage) < 5 else steer_percentage

    car.drive_power(power)
    car.steer(steer_percentage)

    if Button.LB in controller.buttons.pressed():
        tilted_car.steer(-100)
    elif Button.RB in controller.buttons.pressed():
        tilted_car.steer(100)
    else:
        tilted_car.steer(100 * (steer_percentage / 100) * (power / 100))

    wait(10)

Looks interesting, would be nice to see it actually driving!
