[MOC] Flipmobile

[legomuppet9]

Hello, been a while since my last MOC I know, been busy unfortunately

Anyway, this was something I just made for a bit of fun. I wanted to make something which could drive on it's front and back, and this is the result.

It is powered by two L motors with a reduction of 1.191:1, with a differential and is steered with a servo motor. It doesn't get up enough speed to flip by itself, but hey, I did what I set out to do

This one didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped, it's two images of the machine on it's front and back put together, but I didn't quite take them with the machine in the same place

I was just playing around with my camera at this point

Finally, a short video showing the performance of it, I realised too late I hadn't filmed me turning it over and then continuing to drive, but I'm sure you can all work out that it can work both ways up

Cool idea! I've thought about making a similar vehicle, but never did. Great job!
