Can a Lego Car Roll Downhill Forever?

Making Lego cars roll downward on a Lego treadmill with an incline, using various methods to create tire friction, in order to make the cars roll downhill indefinitely. The angle of the slope is gradually increased to intensify this challenge.

The final challenge is the automation of the treadmill to have an official Lego Technic car, without any modifications, roll on it indefinitely. Two Lego color distance sensors and the Powered Up app are used to create a program that constantly adjusts the tread speed and incline angle.

The treadmill internals consist of 2 powered up hubs and 4 Buwizz motors. The treads are 3D printed custom made parts.

For every angle you think "this man can't possibly go any steeper" then he hits you with the 90 degrees

[Fodder]

This could honestly be an awesome over engineered show stand for technic cars

[parkersummers]

I like how it slowly goes from a car to literally just a weird sort of drone

[innocenttroll]

One must imagine Sisyphus as a Lego car

[ethanpflederer]

I can see that the Brick Technology space program is going well

[Retroactive_R]

I'd be interested in seeing if you could potentially lower the center of gravity of a lego car and see how sharp a corner it can make without flipping over, kind of like actual F1 cars.

[TheRealRCSparks]

I love your engineering. I have been a huge fan of the channel for over a year :)

[valthorix]

I don't think I've ever seen an ACTIVE downforce system before. That was very cool.

5:48 Crazy to think that a goofy little Lego car had better controls than a million dollar submarine

[MrPhatNOB]

This kind of experimental research is exactly what the human mind should be used for.
I applaud your time and dedication to this. Editing is just 👌🏽

[nicomahler]

I didn’t play Lego for the last 20 years. To see how it developed and how you even have sensors and programming frameworks working with those plastic bricks makes me feel so happy. Awesome.

[ihiwgkk]

theoretically this man could make a machine gun powered by a windmill lego car

[jaromir_kovar]

This was amazing. I also really loved the stop motion disintegration at 6:25 It is almost organic. Beautiful!

[notroban]

i admire the amount of effort and time you put into these videos, keep up the good work 👏

[yester]

I usually take issue with people who create their own problems in life when they did not need to..
This is a glorious exception

8:30

Trying to learn to parallel park be like

[Tedminatr]

The final product that adjusted for other cars seemed really fun! I'd love to see a whole range of cars on the ramp

[baylorskinner]

7:10 this is something straight out of bad piggies

[TSSMASHCONTENT]

Now this is a science I know absolutely nothing about. Looks like black magic to me

[sydneypalenge]

Wow never knew lego would be used for science but preety cool video
