"Where the rubber meets the road"

Good thing I don't have much of an audience yet. Nobody likes to wait six month for a content update.

Some of the first models I put together with either version of Mindstorms sets were cars. Specifically supercars. Here's a Pagani Zonda Cinque on the Mindstorms NXT:

And on the EV3, here's a Lamborghini Veneno

Functionally, they're both the same car with different bodies. The Zonda could self drive for a bit with the sensors, and the Veneno was remote controlled.

Something to look forward to: A fully automated self-driving car. One of these days mate, one of these days.

UPDATE: I made LDD files. By popular request. Here they are:
