The Original NXT Crawler

This one is a 4×4 NXT Crawler from March 2013, a predecessor to the NXT 4×4 Crawler (2.0) I have uploaded here. It had some problems because of which I decided not to upload it, but now, looking at it again, it wasn’t half that bad. It had proper suspension, an innovative way to turn…

Simple EV3 vehicle

This is very simple vehicle which can be operated with IR remote or via bluetooth (Commander). Also, vehicle has autonomjus mode in which it can drive and avoid obstacles. I assembled it to test some schemes of chassis and powertrain to use them in my future projects. This version of vehicle has rear wheels drive….
