Solving all Traffic Problems with LEGO Technic

[@in1]

While the title is obviously not meant seriously, the idea of driving "over the traffic" is so dumb, that a city in China actually built and tested a bus with that concept. But the idea was discarded, because this only works well if you have a straight street without any traffic or junctions... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_Elevated_Bus

[@GamingGenius777]

I could see this getting used on certain police cars and ambulances to help get around... er... over traffic.

[@arturroblox3662]

There is a car too. "Hum rider" if i remember correctly

[@LunchBoxer]

if a lot of people used that they would probably start making it illegal in some states

[@infiniteconceptswithlegos]

This concept is really interesting and cool invention 👍

[@ImSoTired..]

Bro imagine getting stuck in traffic and the dude behind you pulls out the *Go-go gadget car extender*

[@Froggsroxx]

But then what if there's a lot of extendable cars on the road? Well obviously we introduce the extendable extendable car of course!

[@bowfuz]

Simply build one extendable car design that is small enough in retracted form to fit under itself in extended form lol

[@in1]

That sounds like a perfectly appropriate and reasonable solution that wouldn't cause more problems :D

[@jirokoshibailey2052]

More speed and mass, and extendable at front for crumple zone...?

[@hollt693]

It's interesting to think of the real-world implications of such a thing. Only people who could afford this kind of car would be able to use it and therefore not be subject to normal traffic conditions. When you think about it, that would be like adding passing lanes to the road that you can only use if you pay extra. Y'know, I'm sure they must've tried that somewhere already. Just sounds too lucrative to pass up.

Ig this will have to do until we discover what Santa feeds his reindeer.

This came out really well! Good job!

It seems that Omni man has his own wheels now! 2:22

[@CY5588]

Unnecessary weight tho... JUST FLY AT THIS PIOINT 2in1 in 2024:FLYING LEGOS

[@hollt693]

Is it feasible to motorize this design, or would the battery pack make it too top-heavy? Would you connect the motors to the wheels directly, or would you use a means of power transmission that can pass down the scissor legs?

[@in1]

The battery thing would prolly work, surprisingly it has a pretty solid stability. But while there definitely is some kind of possible transmission through the scissor, it would definitely be simpler to use the motors directly at the wheels, but you'd need a bigger scale for that.

Bro solved one of the biggest problems with legos

[@towcat]

Oh that would death wobble so badly on the highway Give to the new guy for a tune up and see if he can find all the grease fittings

[@LNNish]

Good job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheTechnicBrickTheTechni-nw4nc]

good job

[@servantking1519]

Now motorize it!

[@benrex7775]

Imagine a burst of wind blowing a car sideways away from the road.

[@jackpomeroy5855]

How could you even build some crazy car that futuristic

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

@jackpomeroy5855 Jay Leno’s Garage profiled a real life version.

[@RailsofForney]

Could I be honest RQ? That got really messy really quickly 😂
