Lego PS2 Rover

Lego Chassis for PS2 controlled Rover (2019)

Lego PS2 Rover in its natural habitat: My backyard

I wanted to design something that would allow me to build a chassis out of Lego, but also drive it around using a game controller.

I custom designed some 3D printable brackets to hold 22mm_Gearmotors and adapt their shafts to the Lego axles. I am not sure where these models ended up, but it was a pretty good part to learn how to CAD design.
