Let's go fast. Large wheels on the back. A lot of torque, small wheels on the front, good aerodynamics. Here we go.

These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Drag Car. 

Building instructions for a LEGO EV3 steering car. We use two large motors, so that the rear wheels will be driven independently by a separate motor. For your convinience, you can use the EV3-G MyBlock for moving the Boomer.

Building instructions for the Formula 1 Racing Car, built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It can turn with the help of a small motor and is driven by two large ones.

An example program for using this robot could be found at: https://www.fllcasts.com/programs/692hkz-comet-program

Building instructions for a LEGO Truck. The robot is presented as an Ammo Truck but it can be used for transporting various other objects, too. The construction has a rear drive with each of the rear wheels driven by a Large Lego Motor. The front wheels steer using a Medium Lego Motor. The Brick is placed at the front of the construction which gives the opportunity to easily attach different sensors, based on the task. 

Building instructions for a steering car. The front wheels steer through a Medium LEGO EV3 motor while the rear wheels are both driven by a single Large LEGO EV3 motor.

Building instructions for an EV3 LEGO Mindstorms Dump Truck. The back of the truck can be tilted through controlling the medium EV3 motor so that the load can be dumped at a desired location. Also, the robot has a color sensor to determine the type of load it is carrying. 

Francesco 2 is inspired by the robot Francesco.

Building instructions for a simple car using an EV3 Large motor for turning the front wheels and EV3 medium motor with differential for driving the rear wheels. Differently, from Francesco, Francesco 2 has space where a locking mechanism is meant to be built for the differential.

These are building instructions for a LEGO WeDo 2.0 Sweeper.

These are building instructions for LEGO WeDo 2.0 Forklift. 

Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.

Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.

Building instructions for a simple car using an EV3 Large motor for turning the front wheels and EV3 medium motor with differential for driving the rear wheels.

Instructions for building a steering chassis from LEGO EV3 Mindstorms. It uses EV3 Large motor to power the rear wheels and EV3 Medium motor for the steering mechanism. Find building instructions for the remote control here.

Cody is a robot, designed to move in a straight line. It has a single motor, rotating two wheels. Behind the motor, Cody holds a Color Sensor. These two combined could be programmed to work as a barcode reader, measuring the length of any color beneath the robot.

Dwell is a car built with a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set. It uses the medium motor for powering the back wheel and one more medium motor for rotating the front wheels and thus turning. Of course, there is a differential at the back.  

This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backwards". This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward the robot will just rotate! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one of the motors rotate forward and the other one - backwards.

The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors could be placed in many different ways. It is not always the case that the two motors face the same direction and this needs to be accounted for during programming.

Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.
