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!"

Hi Bill,
The video seems to work again.

I was sure I seen the word ‘drifting’ in the title ????

pretty weak drift.

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,
zak

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.
