Building the racing car

In this chapter, we will be building the following racing car:

Figure 12.2

Follow these steps to build this racing car robot:

  1. Take your BOOST Hub and ensure that its batteries are fully charged:

    Figure 12.3

  2. Take one 4x6 brick and connect it to the back of the hub, as shown in the following figure:

    Figure 12.4

  3. Take six connector pegs and connect three pegs to each side of the 4x6 brick, as shown here:

    Figure 12.5

  4. Now, flip the model, take one 1x2 flat tile and one 1x4 flat tile, and connect both to the side beam of the BOOST Hub, as shown in the following figure. Now, take one 3x5 angular beam and connect it to all three connector pegs on that side:

    Figure 12.6

  5. Now, take one 5M axle with a 1M stop and one ½ bush. First, remove the angular beam, connect the top part of the axle to motor B of the BOOST Hub, connect that to the angular beam, and then connect the ½ bush to the axle:

    Figure 12.7

  6. Now, rotate...
