This RC Car project shows you the perfect method of allowing your RC car to get a drifting workout without you having to do all the work! "The Autonomous Drifter spawned from a project/tutorial suggestion in the forums. Namely from Simplywel. In the most simplest of terms, it’s a hacked rc car, but really only the remote control has been hacked. The car itself wasn’t altered in any way. A microcontroller inside the controller allows your computer to give commands to the remote which controls the car. Using some simple automation we get an Autonomous Drifter!"

I’m not sure I would call that an autonomous vehicle. It’s more of a remote control car recorder. From what I saw, he drives the car around(with plastic wheels on a tile floor) and then it replays what he did. :-/

and it wasnt even a decent rc car.

hi, i am wondering if you can describe in more detail the transmitter and the board that you are using - and what programming code are you using to make the car autonomous?
i want to try to make this but i’m not sure how to start (beyond the r/c car).
thanks,

What Kinda of Car do you drive?

Weak drift but funny…this one it’s like a show.

This is very good. Must say, a very clever piece of kit. I think a fun idea would be to beable to control your rc car my pc or laptop, have a camera attached to your rc car and drive it anywhere you want from the comfort of your chair!
Worth thinking about…

Hi Nitro,
I think the car went evil and was about to take over the world. It had to be stopped.

That’s a brilliant excuse!!
In that case its a good job it was stopped.
