[TC12] [WIP] Crazed Cart

[TechnicRCRacer]

Hi,

Presenting my WIP TC12 entry:

It has full independent suspension with one weaponized function and one wacky function. See if you can spot them both! It is full RC and pretty fast (direct drive from M motor, a little worried) I was thinking of a 3-wheeled cart but couldn't figure out a good steering system. I will be away for the next week on vacation, so no progress then.

Cool! You're already further along than I am, congrats! Looks like you have a side-mounted cannon, 4-wheel steering, rear-wheel drive and something else, but I cannot tell what the L-motor is supposed to be used for... Catapult maybe?

Hehe...

Just the opposite. Do you notice anything connected to the back curved panel?

Rubber band and a rack, maybe a ram of some sort?

[TechnicRCRacer]

@Leonardo da Bricki No more hints,except for this. There is no rubber band, there is a hinge and a flex cable.

Can you figure it out?

Good luck!

Looks very interesting and promising so far. I think that I surmise, what the L motor is it supposed to do.

I see you are using a cannon... with a modified projectile...

Is the L-motor moving a dumping mechanism?

Great start anyway, and much more than I have done! (nothing)

Hm... Cannon, something interesting with a backplate... I guess I have a crazy idea

It's not modified, the rubber end fell off because it was in bad condition. I will probably switch it out.

Ok, you win!

Well technically it's modified, but yeah, it's not really that bad... I actually have a couple of them too - for the same reason.

I think that's because I had thought of the same idea! (although I won't be using it as I have thought of something else...)

Seems cool! I wish you luck!

the L motor will drop something on the road?

Sorry for going silent, just arrived back from vacation. Now I caught a cold and progress might be slower. I will finish this eventually!
