This model is based on my idea after thinking of a simple transformable vehicle, it should be able to transform even while moving since the mechanism is independent. I plan to use 3 motors with technic C+ hub. 2 motors will be use to do the driving & the rest for transformation. I also plan to build as compact as possible due to my parts availability. The remote will be created using the PU apps. Feature : 2 buttons for driving (moving & steering) 1 button for transformation (forward & backward) RPM meter for all motors This is the driving module, it consist of 2 identical track driving mechanism powered by a L motor. The transformation module is mounted at the center level and powered by a L motor. This is the Z shape after transformation I planned to mount the hub between the L motors. After finishing the build, I found out that the transformation module can not 'hold' the position as I expected. The Hub & the L motor created a heavy load that the module can stand. So I changed the gearing system using a pair of worm gears at the final output. I also modified the driving module by moving the L motor position into the lower part. To make sure the model can work as I want it, I create the remote control using PU apps on my android phone. During the test run, I found out that there is still an empty port which can be use to connect the PU LED. The LED was connect using a pair of part part #x400c20 as the light bar on top of the model. This model works smoothly & can transform while driving, it also can drive using the front side when it bumped into some obstacle. More picture & video will be taken later.
