Impossible CLIMB - Experimental Lego Vehicles #lego #experiment #legotechnic

For the tracked vehicles, you need to have gears pressing down in the middle of the belt too.

Not only is backward driving legal, it is a common technique used by off roaders.

I feel like a longer version of Track-and-rola would do better, especially with road wheels to keep the track flat with the ground. You could clearly see the track in the current design not properly aplying presure in to the ground.

Larger tires, lower center of gravity and some front weight bias. This was an awesome video regardless

Please try this! I think a vehicle with almost comically long tracks will actually perform very well. The biggest obsticle is either that the wheels simply dig in the "dirt" instead of making the vehicle move forward OR it tips over. I think really really long tracks will solve both problems, since with tracks that are say 3-4 times as long as the vehicle itself it gets a LOT of surface area, which counteracts the digging that wheels tend to do, and because of the length and center of mass it wont really tip over.

The real difficulty is not only the slope, but also the looseness of the road. I wonder whether there is any vehicle that can overcome it.

My vote is definitely for Track-N-Rolla, but would love to see a projectile+winch based “sled”!

From the start all you would of needed is weight to the front and bigger wheels

Track-N-Rolla was the only one that made it to the impossible 25 degree angle climb so Track-N-Rolla

One would imagine Sisyphus happy

Old Ford model A’s you would sometimes have to drive them backwards uphill because their gravity, fed fuel tanks would not allow for proper fuel flow past a certain degree

The creativity in your Lego MOCs is inspiring.

Can't wait to see the Stilts-o-Matic catch on and start tearing it up in the next rally championship.

on the tracked machine, the only way to make it work as intended is to attach a series of rollers to the bottom of the frame, maybe your typical tire to stretch out the track to make it flat, without this, there wont be any weight dispersion and your tracks wont have any flotation, in short, think of a tank, or a bulldozer. hope this helps

You should have given the tracked one road wheels in bettween the sprockets to it could even out more preasure

You should try the new track pieces from the 42131, and maybe some inspiration from that model's track tensioning mechanism too.

4:58 when a Tractor gets stuck, some people tie big logs to the wheels. This helps getting out of the mud.

Brilliant. What fun! Now I must get back to building serious GBC's...

The tracked vehicle requires rollers. These rollers actually carry the weight of the vehicle, and thus spread the load across a larger part of the tracks, and thus the ground, which is what you want.
