Topic: Miniland cars

HI,

if you know what miniland is, then you problably know, that its cars move by themselves, my questions at this point are:

  • How do they move?
    How to make my lego cars move whitout any visible guidance when my city is on my table?

Re: Miniland cars

If you mean mini land as in legoland mini land, then I'm pretty sure they have a sort of track they go round. Can't really remember, haven't been there for years.
Alternately they could use magnets, and by sticking a bit of metal under the car it'll follow the magnet (assuming it's strong enough and the ground isn't to think). I'm not really sure how you'd do that under a table though, experiment a bit.

They might have NXT powering them. I'm not sure.

Not really since I've never been to any Legoland. It was just a guess.
