Making a LEGO Car Cross Broken Bridges...

Making a LEGO Car Cross Broken Bridges requires lots of testing and improving each LEGO car until it is capable of crossing long gaps with no bridge--even when there are obstacles! This LEGO® Technic MOC uses LEGO® Technic and LEGO® Mindstorms to get closer and closer to becoming a capable bridge crossing vehicle.

[@simpli_A]

Gonna be honest… did not expect this to be so entertaining to watch. With some honestly genius design choices (such as adding the extendable arms to balance the car) that I would never have thought of. And as other commenters have pointed out, the hammer vs just making it taller. Also love the extra flex of picking up the bridge at the end. Really shows how well you can handle that uncomfortable handling scheme. And the beauty of destroying the bridge with the hammer? Honestly a fun video! Good job

I thought your car would jump over the "no bridge", but your decision was also cool

[@Bdcrock]

Bro, for the first one all you had to do was make it wider like after you made it taller you had to make it water and not hook it up to a controller and you could’ve done both and the controller would use the thumb stick or it should’ve used to thick for left rightand then I was thinking that you have the bottom wheels but also the side so it’s easier and at that point you might as well make the bridge and make them like tank treads

[@jb5music]

Lego dead army ant bridges. Little Lego dead army ants that hook together. 😆

[@diyfireking]

Level 9: Please bring your own bridge😄

[@BrickMachinesChannel]

😂 sounds about right

[@Befikkr]

[@ajwojtowicz2336]

0:23 first, you want to measure the exact distance between the farthest left point of the bridge and the front left car wheel at 45 degrees with 0 degrees being parallel to the car. divide that by 2. then pick up the car and move it that exact distance to the left. then, all of the wheels will be able to drive on a track that is holding up on the bridge and you will cross safely. SIMPLE

Steering with the triggers is a bit different. Reminds me of old games where you turned the camera with the bumpers. like the first kingdom hearts game and .hack//Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine. Though thankfully .hack//IMOQ had alt control settings to use the joystick instead.
