Kids and cheap RC cars is a bad mix. In reality kids cannot control these things - so they end up slamming into things, and keep pressing "forward" while the poor vehicle is facing a wall.

With the purpose of preparing you for some nifty programming tricks in the next episode, in this episode of The Latest in Hobby Robotics Frits Lyneborg is showing you how to make a cheap RC car stop before it hits an object.

  • 4:13 what is the video a couple years a go called

  • AMAZING!! I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!!

  • Is this guy behind the video a Dane ? It sure sounds like he is ;-)

  • Know that you made me resubscribe make magazine. :D

  • Your accent is terrible. :) :) :)

  • Awesome mod but I think I have one that would be more useful for kids. You should use the sensor to determine when the car gets to close to a drop off like the edge of a table, curb, or stairs. I think that would save a few more cars than a bump into the wall xD Also Ben Heck shows code in his video so I think it would be fine.

  • make the front sensor like the scanner off K.I.T.T from knight rider :D

  • u shud put the sensor behind the window XD

  • it's cool. thk u
