YogiCub M.O.P Rover
     
    Systems Control
   
   

YogiCub is a four wheeled exploration Rover with independently powered hubs and Corner steering – Just like the real thing, only made of LEGO® . YogiCub does not implement any form of suspension, have any form of navigational positioning or analysis, nor does it carry any scientific payload - It's just a Cub after all. Primarily this Rover is a ‘proof of concept’ and initiates my investigation into building LEGO® Rovers.
