Making Lego Car CLIMB Obstacles

Testing a Lego car against different obstacles and improving it until it becomes a capable climber.
Demonstrates what you need to consider: wheel diameter, gear ratio, 4-wheel drive, tire grip, breakover angle, weight distribution. Enjoy!

Base rules for all builds:
-4 wheels
-no steering (to simplify the builds)
-only Lego parts used

Remote control:
PlayStation 4 wireless controller

Lego car: falls down exhausted at the last obstacle.
Him: "Well, its not a perfect climber..."
Lego car: "sad motor noises"

These were the most entertaining 5 minutes of my life

This is engineering, incredible how he is able to come up with new designs to solve each flaws in previous ones.

[thedoode]

i love how this is not a final model from scratch but a constant problem solving process

Wife: It's refreshing to see my husband using books, he's done nothing but play with his legos this entire quarantine.

The car: almost climbs Mount Everest
Brick Experiment Channel: Well it’s not a perfect climber, but still pretty good

This dude just started flexing after he made the final prototype

[martindirkzimmer]

That thing came alive! I couldn't help rooting for the little guy flexing, balancing and torqing his heart out.

“Well, it’s not a perfect climber, but still pretty good”

That is the best climber I have ever seen Lego or not keep it up

[alexanderprince]

This guy took “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again” to a whole new level!

[leeloxleigh]

Never was that interested in lego until I saw this video. Excellent engineering, a video worth watching. AAA+++

[JoelCreates]

Now this is a competitive sport I could get into

[eckelrock]

"Well, it's not a perfect climber, but still pretty good."

Me: still pushing my brick with wheels back and forth with my hand

[AliFrostinho]

**car can't get past obstacle**
Obstacle: lol
Car: **makes adjustments**
Obstacle: Wait, that's illegal.

[Kira-pvxq]

I love this. This is literally Lego Engineering.
