Dive into an exciting world where LEGO meets advanced programming! Join Anton as he guides you through building and programming your very own remote-controlled SPIKE Prime Hot Rod car with the official SPIKE Prime word blocks. Learn about proportional steering with a rack steering mechanism. Proportional means that it is not completely left or right, but your steering action can move to every fine position in between for smooth turns.
After the explanation of the rack steering code, learn how to master remote control using an lms-esp32 board. Whether you’re new or seasoned in LEGO robotics, this video is packed with insights that will elevate your creations! Building instructions available at antonsmindstorms.com.
