Vectored Thrust Racer with AI(PID) Assist

12.6k JuanShot2Go  2.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Susnotsus's [CLOSED]FUTURISTIC CAR CHALLENGE

Created for a "Future Car Challenge" this concept car represents the future of adrenaline fueled, life shortening, motor sports.

Its not a flying car. It's not a hovercraft. It's not even "An autonomous, point to point, on demand transportation solution" which, quite frankly, sounds no different from not remembering when or how you walked home.

Controls:

  • Pitch: Forward and Back
  • Roll: Left and Right
  • Landing Gear: Activates the thrusters
  • VTOL: Sets height 0-20m
  • Trim: Can Assist in Uphill or Downhill
  • Brake: Air Brakes
  • Activate6: To go sideways
  • Activate8: Stops Gyro and opens canopy.

Thanks to

RandomDisplay -Initial concept
SnoWFLakE0s - the Jedi Master of Funky Trees
Soldier289 - (A Funky Trees Sith Master) For the dark code that makes it so stable
PlanariaLab - (The Sith Lord) For the source of the darkness
Aweyer26 - A fellow Jedi that I betrayed when I crossed to the dark side.

Notes:
**For the Funky Trees enthusiasts, this vehicle achieves height control, propulsion and stability with just a single jet engine and rotor controlled VTOL nozzles in conjunction with and gyroscopic stability. I know it would have performed better with multiple engines, one for each direction, but I wanted to use altitude as the overall thrust output consideration. When the gimbals tilt, the engine output increases to keep the vehicle at the set height.

    I was impressed that this hover machine could backfire when it was about to crash into a cliff.
    Great air car!

    Yeah, that's my interceptor for sure.
    But you do not know that Darth Planaria, the true Sith Master, programmed it. Please add his name to the credits.
