Bump n go action car

My latest creation, an autonomous car! I’m not too fond of the exterior shaping, but the functions make up for that: it drives around with bump n go action, periodically stopping to open its doors and hood (which reveals the working engine) before continuing on its merry way. This all works automatically, powered by a single L motor.
The stopping mechanism can easily be disengaged if you want it to drive continuously.

I find it very fun to watch. Check it out!

Nice! Looks like combination of a 1940s hot rod and a Jeep.

nice to see you’re refining the concept of bump and go, i’ve seen all the previous iterations.

I like the hood/doors opening mechanism! Is that meant to represent the car crashing, those affected car parts opening normally, or something else?

It’s supposed to represent the parts opening normally. Granted, it really does not make sense for the doors and hood to just randomly open in the middle of a ride, but whatever… And you’re right, if it happens in front of a wall, it looks like a crash :stuck_out_tongue: Never thought about it that way.
