motor cycle bot

though this really isn't a motor cycle i built it cuz i didn't have anything else to do. i was fun to drive, even though it was completely useless

i had some trouble compressing the pictures down so they might not be very good (they might even be bad )

Re: motor cycle bot

Technically, that's not really a motorcycle,

It does not balance on a pair of inline wheels, rather, it is a four wheeled device with a very narrow wheelbase.

Still, very cool.

Re: motor cycle bot

that is sooo cute. i like it simplicity and the fact that it is almost all above the wheel center. now as was said earlier thats not a motocycle i have to ask the thought provoking question what about the tomahawk motocycle? doesn't it have 4 wheels..... i give a bow down to who can dupe the vex tomahawk and show video of it running.

Re: motor cycle bot

the tomahawk does have four wheels but they are right next to each other, thus creating two fat wheels. Also the tomahawk is based on a real prototype motorcycle, the dodge tomahawk as seen here http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html

Re: motor cycle bot

Yeah, but the tomohawk has 500 bhp,

I don't even know what that would be in vex scale, but something like 2 of the IFI CIM motors on your little guy.
