When you split the axle, you could add a sensor to measure the steering angle and do torque vectoring with the two motor drive. This would increase the agility and you could realize an adjustable software limited slip differential. 🤔😎

Love that you went for the solution I suggested about splitting the rear axel. I'm looking forward to see how turning is impacted, but I wonder if you will have to make software changes in order to differentiate engine speeds to accommodate outer vs inner circle distance differences during tight turns.(plz excuse my insanely poor vocabulary)

In the back of the the engineer's mind, who got to make the part ,was like "Oh god do I have too."

I think it might be a little too late, but it would be cool if you could 3D print a life sized version of the Lego ghost minifigure to use as a halloween decoration.

Matt, the perpendicular steering geometry enforced by the Lego is the cause of the problems. You have no trail, no caster angle, no kingpin angle and a huge offset. Splitting the axle might help but I don't think it will totally solve it.

@MattDenton

3 жыл бұрын

Yes I realise the parallel steering is awfull. I do me room this in an early video but the axle with all my weight over it is not allowing the tyres to turn when any power is on. Basically poker weight distribution doesn't help. Once the axle is split then I can see just how bad the steering setup is 🤞😆

Could you put the 16 tooth on (as I think you have now) then electronically gear it? That would then allow you to drop a load of current in with a lower voltage to get the torque at the start, then once the speed tops out (very quickly, I'd imagine) you change to a higher voltage lower current giving you the speed? It's all about balancing the power. I'd imagine that you already know this and I'm preaching to the choir. Love the video, by the way. I've been checking your page almost daily waiting for the post.

Lol, the music montage reminds me of a Colin Furze video.

The gocart would be a lot more stable at speed if you could figure out how to add some caster angle to the front steering spindles, right now it is relying only on your arm strength to keep the cart straight and the slop in the gears is making it twitchy, some positive caster will make it go straight naturally. It may be cheating against the lego design but it will be safer.

Do you have anything to measure your steering angle? If you do is there any way you could slow down the wheel on the inside of a turn, or increase the speed of the wheel on the outside of the turn? With two independent rear motors you could have them help with your cornering.

Vinícius Negrão not really., imperial seems to be easier to conceptualize to the lay person. . There is a reason similar units to the foot were invented and used all across the world (Japanese shaku, Chinese Chi, Vietnamese xich, greek pous and kondylos, various cubits, mesopotamian 'feet', etc.) - its great for thinking about buildings. For instance building with lumber usually houses seem to be easier for people to build in imperial, Canada still does, and I am pretty sure the UK still does. Commercial buildings may be different. I know Imperial is easier for carpenters conceptually. Even temperature, sure celsius is nice when freezing is zero and 100 is boiling. But Fahrenheit is actually more precise scale than Celsius, meaning the differences in temperature between each degree is smaller.....So you can be more accurate. Also metric system is also arbitrary, you may argue less arbitrary, but it still based off an inaccurate measurement of the earth. The fact that imperial doesn’t break down in to units of 10, doesn’t make it any less useful. My original comment was not to state that imperial was better or worse. But that despite complete conversions from imperial to metric by other countries, they always come back to imperial, because at the end of the day sometimes it is just more practical, for instance in construction and sometimes speed.
