Kavz3270 Soviet era bus with Lego Mindstorms MOC by Samolot

The bus was created on the basis of a light truck Gaz 53, for many years of production, a dozen or so different variants differing in details were created. Mainly due to changing transport regulations and the need to adapt the construction to them. The vehicle was very simple and clumsy, in my opinion, its biggest drawback was the large overhang at the back, which meant that the last seats could fly out like from a catapult on larger holes. In spite of the simplicity of the original design, I decided to equip my model with advanced electronics in the form of a new Mindstorms set. The Mindstorms hub has six outputs, two I used to connect the XL control to the drive, and the Mindstorms motors were used to turn the wheels, change gears, open the door and rotate the drum with the names of the villages. In the original bus, the doors were opened manually but with a lever accessible from the driver’s seat. That’s why I designed it so that it looks like the driver is opening the passenger door. T
