Remember Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? The magical car is the focus of a 1968 British musical. Ryan Wells decided to take the memorable vehicle and combine it with Transformers. Yep, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Transformer. It works way better than you might imagine. As you can see from the above photo, Wells incorporated all kinds of rad details into the mash-up. He made the armor, chassis, wheels — all of it — and added lights, sound, and steam. You can see his initial design below as well as some in progress pictures. There are even more photos at Facebook and videos that show the effects in action.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
