    LEGO Lab teased us with a Technic Porsche model that has some smarts in it, powered by the new LEGO Mindstorms hub, motors, sensors.   However, it was really just an experiment with no official news that it will actually be released.   So....

     

    I present to you my own realization of the model.
     

    Features:

    • Motorized drive & steering
    • Remote-controllable via Mindstorms app or compatible wireless controller
    • Distance sensor for object avoidance, also functions as headlights
    • Color sensor for line following
    • Fully independent suspensions
    • Working engine
    • Working steering wheel
    • Openable doors
    • Openable front hood
    • Openable engine cover
    • Improved rear wheel well clearance
    • Teal bodywork accents and all-white mudguards

     

    Here are more images and renders:

    The build is a remix of sets 42096 (Porsche 911 RSR) and some parts of 51515 (Robot Inventor).   More details and FREE downloadable Stud.io file on Rebrickable.   The digital file is already broken down into steps, you can use Stud.io's Instruction Maker to output it as a PDF file if you want to.

    Enjoy and let me know what you all think!

     

    Note to Admins:  I posted this on the Technic forum as the build is mostly still Technic, just so happens the motorization is done with Mindstorms elements.   Feel free to move it to the Mindstorms forum if necessary.

    The cheapest when it's on sale is on Zavvi (US) for $349 + free shipping. It seems to go on sale on and off quite a few times already.  Those of you may want to keep an eye out.

    While the Johnny 5 B-Model is no longer available on Rebrickable, I suggest checking out the other B-models like my WALL-L =).

    Just wanted to share my latest alt-models for the Fast & Furious Dodge Charger (42111) here for those who hasn't seen it.

    The first one is my recreation of Owen Shaw's Flip Car or Ramp Car as seen on Fast & Furious 6.   It has working regular steering and crab steering modes, with HoG controlling the front and a locking lever for the rear.   It also has working front and rear suspensions as well as stow-away lights.   Hope you can catch the other details that mimic the movie model.

     

     

    The second is an F1 inspired model with an almost all-back bodywork (if only those exposed pins and axles are all black too).   This one features a working steering with HoG strategically placed inside the driver's cockpit and working independent suspensions all around.

     

     

    Here are the links for the instructions made available on Rebrickable:

    Thanks for viewing and appreciate any feedback!

    Hi @BrickDesignerNL,

    The reason for the Arduino board is that the particular Android app I am using transmits data via Bluetooth Standard whereas the Lego Hub uses BluetoothLE via Micropython. Possible alternatives would be:

    • Find a TensorFlow Android app on Google Play or elsewhere that transmits object detection data via BluetoothLE. I wasn't able to find one but if one exists that would simplify things
    • Code a TensorFlow Android app myself that implements the TensorFlow API and transmits object detection data via BluetoothLE. I could do this but it would be more time consuming

    Regards,

    Paul.

    There is a post by Nard on the Spike/Mindstorms FB groups that does exactly that.   You may want to check it out.

    Here’s my alt-build for 42099.  It’s the new deployable remote trap vehicle from the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 movie.

    It’s the big version of the one included in the Ecto 1 Creator set.

    I’m also working on the MOD so the ghost trap door will have the correct hazard stripes and open at the center.

    Feedback welcome.  Build instructions and custom programming will be available on Rebrickable when ready.

    Sharing here my latest MOC of WALL-E powered by LEGO Control+ hubs and motors and controlled by LEGO Powered Up app.

     

     

    This is actually a recolor mod of my original b-model MOC for set 42100.   All play features remain the same as seen in this demo:
