LEGO Car Automatic Transmission
This tutorial will show you how to build a LEGO car with an automatic transmission. This is a great way to learn about how automatic transmissions work, and it’s also a fun project to build.
Materials
- LEGO bricks
- Motor
- Battery
- Switch
- Gears
Instructions
- Start by building the chassis of the car. This can be done using any type of LEGO bricks you have. The chassis should be sturdy enough to support the weight of the motor, battery, and other components.
- Next, build the engine. The engine is what will power the car. You can use a simple motor to power the engine. The motor should be connected to a battery.
- Once the engine is built, you need to build the transmission. The transmission is what will allow the car to change gears. You can use gears to build the transmission. The gears should be connected to the engine and the wheels.
- Once the transmission is built, you need to build the controls. The controls are what will allow you to control the car. You can use a switch to control the car. The switch should be connected to the battery and the motor.
- Once the controls are built, you can assemble the car. Assemble the chassis, engine, transmission, and controls together. Once the car is assembled, you can test it out.
Testing the Car
Once the car is assembled, you can test it out. Place the car on a flat surface and turn on the motor. The car should start to move forward. You can use the switch to control the speed of the car. You can also use the gears to change the direction of the car.
Troubleshooting
If the car does not move forward, check the following:
- Make sure the motor is connected to the battery.
- Make sure the switch is turned on.
- Make sure the gears are connected to the engine and the wheels.
If the car does not change gears, check the following:
- Make sure the gears are connected to the transmission.
- Make sure the switch is connected to the transmission.
