Autonomous R/C Drifting

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 3 of March , 2008 at 4:08 am

I like cars, but I don’t get drifting. I don’t get NASCAR either, for that matter. But that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a computer controlled car that is able to drift around all by itself. The cool part about this project, though, is that what it boils down to is a DIY method for computer control of an R/C car. Not only can you control the car using a computer, you can also control the car using a computer script, which opens up all sorts of possibilities. There’s a good tutorial on the site, with lots of pics, but you’ll need to know how to build circuits and solder stuff. If you’re not quite at that level yet, you might want to check out this fun little guy to get you started with soldering.
