I have been thinking of a pretty neat idea. Motorizing the 8448 Super Street
Sensation. You could put the RCX in the back of the car. And you could have
one motor that makes the drive shaft move. When the car is in gear it would
go. When its in nuetral just the cylinders would turn. Another motor could
be mounted somewhere (i am still trying to figure this one out)to control the
steering. Then you could have a touch sensor in the two front corners, and
one in the back. All you would have to do is write the program, and let it
go. You could program it to do figure eights, or just make it like a bumper
car, where it hits something, then turns around. Might wanna be careful
though. Set it loose in the street in 5th gear. It would hit a curb and BAM,
there goes your RCX.
Another thing that would be neat would be to equip it with reverse lights
If anyone has any ideas about the steering i am open for suggestions. I am
thinking that putting a small gear on the steering colom and making a chain go
from the colum to the motor. But i am not sure how this would work.

| Here are some attempts by Bob Fay and myself. Enjoy. The models was a blast to build and motorize.
