As I'm nearly done with the project now, I thought I'd post some photo's and
a movie of the solar car in action.
First off; the car itself:

Here you see the motor I've used, and how it's built into the lego
construction. Doesn't look like anything special really. :)

Finally, a movie of the car taking a sprint, with me running after it
carrying the solar panel. :)

The movie should actually be rotated 90 degrees, but you'll just have to
look around that.
Oh and some totally uninteresting gears:

Hope you enjoyed it. :D

As a school project I'm building a small car powered by a solar panel. It should come as no big surprise that I'm doing this with lego. :) I started out with the 8880 chassis (without bodywork) motorised by an old style 9V motor. The project is (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic)
