OM Car
OM Car is a powerful Lego Car! It has a hidden light sensor, a touch sensor, and a sound sensor! It uses two back motors and one motor in front for steering! It is very durable and easy to build! Building instructions are available, the program is still in development but you can remote control the NXT robot using the Mindstorm software or a Wii remote. This robot can only be built with the Mindstorm NXT 1.0.
You can download the building instructions as a LDD or PDF.
Note: LDD is recommended, it helps you build your robot easier. If you are using LDD on the top right corner you will see generate building instructions, Click that and build your robot. They are a few steps in the end that you will have to look at in the PDF to complete the robot.
If you are downloading a LDD you will need Lego Digital Designer.
You can download the LDD from on of these links below:
1. To download the LDD from this link: Download LDD 1 / Download LDD 2 right click and select download linked file.

Program Coming Soon! For now remote control your robot using the Mindstorm software or a Wii remote.
I LOVE the OM-Car but it says it can ONLY be built by the NXT 1.0, I have The NXT 2.0. I see NOTHINGthat's different about the car pieces that ONLY have on the NXT 1.0 Only the wheels and the sound sensor and I see those are OPTIONAL pieces their that important as the pieces that make the car move. So is it still possible making the OM-Car with the NXT 2.0 just without the sound sensor and the wheels??? Please Reply by EMAIL 🙂 I love the OM-CAR though!
Hi,
You may be able to build the OM Car with the NXT 2.0 if you are experienced in building on the Mindstorm. Other then the wheels and sound sensor the NXT 2.0 doesn’t have enough 15M Beam (the longest white bar), Bush for Cross Axle (the grey circular piece), and the Conn.Bush W.Fric/Crossale (the smaller blue piece with two different end points.) You can easily substitute these pieces with others on the NXT 2.0 set. For example, you can use a 13M and 3M beam to replace the 15M beam, for the Bush for Cross Axle, you can use a 1/2 Cross Axle and for the Conn.Bush W.Fric/Crossale try using the small red connector if you can. Let me know if you have success in building the OM Car and if you have anymore questions.
Thank You For Your Advice But Is The Pieces Important??
They aren't that important. You can still build the OM Car without them, as long as you're experienced with the Mindstorm.
Thank You I Built It And I Would Call It The OMG-Car. You Guys Really Helped 🙂
How do you build it?
The instructions are provided on the page, you can view the instructions as a PDF or LDD.
