3D Printed Rubber-band Powered RC Car


This 3D printed car powered on rubber-bands was made at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA! Found through DesignBoom.com, this piece was made by Max Greenberg, Sameer Yeleswarapu, and Ian Cullimore. They were designing a Formula E racing car and dubbed this unit the "Cirin". The car's steering, braking, and radio system is battery powered, but the throttle is powered by a wound rubber band tht measures up to sixteen feet long prior to winding. The top speed of this exceeds 30mph, and the car can travel a few hundred feet every run. The mechanical design and organic-esque chassis was created using T-Spline and Rhino programs through SolidWorks.
