Quite a few people have built real Transformers, but not many people can ride in their Transformer because the car is full of robot and there’s no space left for any passengers. So I’ve built a Transformer I can ride on like a kid’s Power Wheels car!

I used a lot of 3D printing to build my Transformer, it has a total of 16 motors including 2 RC servos, 8 Dynamixel servos, and 6 DC brushed motors with encoder feedback.
