I recently saw a video on the RacingBrick YouTube channel called “Revolutionising LEGO RC control with Pybricks and Xbox.” It showed me a simple solution for the biggest problem with LEGO Powered Up: controlling cars. I'm old-school. I played with my first remote-controlled car around 1980, and I controlled it with a remote with two joysticks. My second one had a remote with a joystick and a steering wheel.
