Orange Car

Orange car was the result of young humanoid's want to enter an unofficial NXT building challenge with the theme of vehicles.  Young humanoid used three motors - two to power a rear differential, the last in a complex gear system that steered the front wheels.  The entire car was remotely operated through a second NXT on a LEGO handlebars construction, inspired by Per_and_Emil's project Rally simulator - HAP 2.0.  Tilting the handlebars forward, reverse and sideways would result in proportional control of the operation of the car for speed and turning.
