DLuders Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 On MOCpages, the Vurzoon Family recently posted a detailed description of their Lego "JoyRider" car. Step into the future, to the Year 2068.... "Nowadays people spend most of their time in the virtual world to work, learn and socialize. Transportation of goods is by air ships that travel autonomous. Cars that use roads to drive are no longer needed. Nevertheless the Vuurzoon company proudly presents a brand new car: "The JoyRider!". A car designed for one reason only: To enjoy! "You can drive the JoyRider yourselves or you can choose to be driven fully automatically. It's devastating fast and can make extremely sharp corners. Moreover, with the JoyRider you can join inline race competitions. During these races your race car will follow autonomous the line at the racetrack as fast as possible. The JoyRider enables you to perform exciting actions like a Wheely, a Spin and a so called ZigZag. To cool down a little after all these G-forces, you can cruise around in your JoyRider while listening to fantastic Mindstorms music. Meanwhile, special light effects will flash at the beat of the music. Enjoy the ride!" This shows how it performs: It is equipped with multiple sensors and NXT programming (thoroughly described on MOCpages): Quote
