LED Lights. If you purchase these, keep in mind that they are of lower quality. Some of the lights are slightly different shades of white. Make sure to carefully look through the lights and pick the ones most similar in brightness. For this, you would need the Software on the CD, or burn it onto a separate disc. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find the programming instructions. The official instructions manual explains thoroughly how to set up the car and get it ready to race!

Reply 4 years ago. Introduction Let's build a car! Here is the link provided by NXT that has the instructions to assist makers in creating the RaceCar: Mindstorms NXT RaceCar Instructions Some of it's great features are: a Color Sensor mobility and steering smooth range of motion stable structure In addition to the basic instructions NXT had provided, we've added new components that have improved the vehicle.

We added improvements in: aesthetic appeal the hood of the vehicle headlights We hope you enjoy our tutorial! Now that you've constructed the basic structure of your car, it's time to personalize it! Here are the lights that we purchased for this project: LED Lights If you purchase these, keep in mind that they are of lower quality. After deliberately choosing which LED lights to fasten on your NXT car, plug in the hot glue gun and wait several minutes for it to warm.

Remove the front wheels to ensure ease of access to the gluing area. Before fastening the lights onto the car, make sure you position angle of the light to your liking.

This will not be adjustable after you fasten the lights on. For reference of where to glue the light, see the attached photos. Squeeze hot glue onto the area you would like to fasten the lights.

I've been thinking about a steering option using a NXT servo motor now I can examine yours.

With this one I had the problem that if you steer too much the car the wheel is almost perpendicular to the chassis and the car stops.

Checking the code from NXT Programs I saw they limited the amount of degrees that the wheel can turn. So what I say?! The car is very simple to build, and fun, but I am really dissapointed with the result. My next MOC will do nice line following I promise.
