Herbie's Brain and Inner
Workings….
In the beginning, Herbie's central nervous system
consisted of several electro-mechanical controllers that
formed his brain, a pneumatic system with air cylinders
under the hood and in the doors, a remote control unit
for external activation, a strobe system, halogen
driving lights, and because he still had his original 6
volt electrical system, we added a 12 and 24 volt
electrical system to help with some of the other
everyday functions. Since then, we have replaced the
controllers with a new laptop computer (his new brain)
that controls up to 128 servo's simultaneously and have
added some extra features such as electronically
controlled air shocks on all four wheels, servo driven
headlights that can look left and right as well as up
and down and visors that blink, oil (water) ejectors on
his rear wheel and in the engine compartment, and more.
Overall, he is pretty high tech...
