Small Boomer - LEGO Mindstorms Car with two-wheel drive with one large motor

Introduction

In this level we will construct a lot of different vehicles. In the next several lessons we will build cars with various types of drives.

What makes the robots that we've build so far, different from the cars?

One of the differences is that cars have four wheels. The other difference is that cars have on engine/motor while our robots have at least 2 motors. The last important difference is that cars have a steering wheel and turning wheels.  Our robots are quite small to have a steering wheel constructions, but we can attach one medium motor for a steering wheel and program the robot. 

In todays lesson we will focus more the construction and how it is moving than on the programming.

Intro

Have you heard of self-driving cars? Today we will try to create such a car. For a steering wheel, we will attach a medium motor, that will spin to turn the robot and we will program it to drive. 

Before you release it onto the streets, like any good driver, it must earn its driver's license. At the end of the lesson, you will have a competition with the rest of the self-driving cars.
