Large Car built with Lego

Please see the disclaimer for more information.

The images for the Steps were rendered with MLCAD 1.9 Rel 4 , here is the source file: CarLarge.mpd
The raytracing pictures were rendered using l3p and POV.
The parts list: Parts.txt
Here is some sample code, that lets the car drive until it hits an obstacle. It stops, drives backward a short while and resumes driving forward again, steering inbetween.
Note: The Rotation Sensor from Step 28 is not yet an official part!
Note: See the code and look for the defines I used to describe the connections from the motors ans sensors to the RCX:

// ROTATION: Rotation Sensor for Steering
// FRONTBUMPER: Front Bumper
// BACKBUMPER: Back Bumper
#define ROTATION SENSOR_1
#define FRONTBUMPER SENSOR_2
#define BACKBUMPER SENSOR_3

// DRIVE: Drive Motor
// STEER: Steering Motor
#define DRIVE OUT_A
#define STEER OUT_B
