Implementation steering mechanism

In summary, the person is a first-year student at DCE and is interested in making a car for college competitions. They have previously used a differential mechanism but now want to work on a steering mechanism. They are seeking suggestions and guidance on how to implement it, and are making a small car for a racing competition. They mention a way in which the connecting shaft can turn via a single motor, but they are looking for a better method. They are also curious about what is meant by an RC car steering.

hey frnds ...
i m 1st year student of DCE and m willing to make a car for college competitions. Till now i was using differential mechanism for turning the car but now i m interested to work on steering mechanism ..

so can anyone suggest me how to implement steering mechanism ...

:smile:

pleasez suggest ...:confused:

Welcome to PF, Nxt.
You didn't specify the size of this thing. If it's big, just use a standard steering linkage from another car. One from a garden tractor or go-cart would work on a medium-size model. For a small one, just look at the way an RC car steers and duplicate the mechanism (or transplant it).
In future posts, though, please use proper writing rather than short-form. Most of us have trouble reading that and find it annoying.

sorry ...since this was my first post so was not aware of what all to write...
actually i m making a small car , u can say a toy car for car racing competition and design too hold some points that's why i m willing to use steering as it is less implemented ...
i knw one way in which the whole connecting shaft will turn via single motor when turning the front tyres..
but that is not steering , i suppose ...
i need a better way of implementation

and danger what do u mean by an RC car steers ?

Model car steering is very simple, really. Both front wheels are mounted on stub axles which are connected to the frame with pivot pins. Each axle has a lever arm that protrudes at 90°. The outer ends of the arms are connected by a bar or rod which is moved side-to-side by the servo.
 

What is an implementation steering mechanism?

An implementation steering mechanism is a tool used to guide and monitor the implementation of a project or program. It helps to ensure that the project is carried out efficiently and effectively, and that it stays on track towards achieving its goals.

Why is an implementation steering mechanism important?

Implementing a project or program can be a complex process, with many different tasks, stakeholders, and potential challenges. An implementation steering mechanism helps to provide structure and direction, making it easier to manage and track progress, and to address any issues that may arise.

What are the key components of an implementation steering mechanism?

An implementation steering mechanism typically includes a set of guidelines or procedures for carrying out the project, as well as a monitoring and evaluation framework to track progress and identify areas for improvement. It may also involve regular meetings or updates with stakeholders, as well as clear communication channels and decision-making processes.

How does an implementation steering mechanism differ from project management?

While project management focuses on the planning and execution of a project, an implementation steering mechanism goes beyond that to also include monitoring and evaluation, as well as stakeholder engagement and decision-making. It provides a more comprehensive approach to ensuring the success of a project.

How can an implementation steering mechanism be implemented effectively?

To implement an implementation steering mechanism effectively, it is important to involve all relevant stakeholders and ensure clear communication and buy-in from all parties. It is also crucial to regularly review and assess the mechanism to make any necessary adjustments, and to continuously monitor progress and address any issues that may arise.
