Ultimate Bulldozer 17 PF motors, 5 SBricks

[shadow_elenter]

I was always inspired by the multi-functionality of backhoe's, and I always imagined ways to improve upon it and now I finally did.

In this MOC I challenged myself to make the most multi-functional vehicle I could, using all the motors and sbricks I had, naturally I ended up buying more motors XD
The final build includes 17 LEGO power functions motors (5XL motors, 6L motors and 6M motors), 4 LEGO power functions lights and 1 DIY LEGO laser!

It's powered by 4 LEGO PF battery boxes, controlled by 5 SBricks and operated by a 20 channel SBrick profile.

The drill/laser arm is operated by 5 channels

1 channel for rotating the arm (PF XL motor)
1 channel for tilting the arm out (PF L motor)
1 channel for extending the forearm (PF M motor)
1 channel for spinning the drill head (PF M motor)
1 channel for activating the DIY LEGO laser (TOPIC HERE)

 

The excavator arm is operated by 4 channels

1 channel for rotating the arm (PF XL motor)
1 channel for tilting the arm out (PF L motor)
1 channel for extending the forearm (PF M motor)
1 channel for moving the bucket (PF M motor)

the bulldozer scoop is operated by 2 chanels

1 channel for raising and lowering the scoop (PF M motor)
1 channel for tilting the scoop (PF M motor)

The crane is operated by 3 channels

1 channel for rotating (PF M motor)
1 channel for extending the  crane (PF L motor)
1 channel for operating the winch (PF L motor)

The plow/ trailer hook is operated by 1 channel

1 channel for lowering and raising the plow (PF M motor)

The drivetrain is operated by 3 channels

2 channel for driving forwards and backwards (2x PF XL motor)
1 channel for steering (PF XL motor)

The lighting is operated by 2 channels

1 channel for headlights 
1 channel for rearlights

 

Weight: 4.6KG
Length: 62cm
With: 32cm
Height: 31cm

building time: 4 weeks

A special thanks goes out to my friend Bas for helping me edit and my  amazing girlfriend for her everlasting support.

What, no electromagnet??? (just kidding).   So many functions, you should get an award from S-Brick, seems very easy to control.  Well done, and good video to boot!

Wahahaha my thoughts exactly!!!  you might be kidding but I'm not!! 

yesterday I received a 9V electromagnet in the mail for a LEGO electromagnet project!!!

Wow! Love it! Not only a lot of functions, but smooth operation also! And it looks fantastic!

[Lakop]

Very well done. A great creation with so many functions!

SBrick should award you.

If you were going to ultimate mechanical complexity, I'd say you have achieved your goal sir.

[trekman]

Some things are impressive, others are plain crazy.  This is both.  Very slick and functional.  Although I can't see it becoming a new set for 2018.  Too many motors for that.  But well done.

whahaha, would be a bible of a building instruction and a price tag like a car not to mention a collaboration with SBrick...

i can imagine the price of probably 1000-1500 dolla bill$

This is amazing! A ton of motors! Was the video sped up a little? The linear actuators seemed to move very fast!

[Aventador2004]

Ha nice meme for such an occasion. Roughly how many parts?

[roppie11]

That is one very complex machine.

I see you could use a challenge. I got one for ya: make some vehicle of your choice with at least 10 functions by using 6 motors. One for switching and 5 for the functions. Good luck!

yes, most of it is sped up 150% just to keep the video interesting. It has so many functions that showing them all at normal speed would result in a long and boring video.

I have no way of knowing... or even guestimating that.

That's a nice challenge, I might just do that at some point . I received 2 sbrick-plus units and sensors just after this MOC was done so I'm building focused on utilizing those right now. I'm in the middle of making the diy LEGO PF electromagnet and I'm also renovating my house and backyard at the moment so there's not a lot of building time right now.

Are you going to use a xl for the magnet

[Sylvian]

You should enter it for the battlebots competition. :P What a beast..

[roppie11]

that electromagnet seems funny. How strong can it be? is 9v not a little too low? you probably haven't connected it yet but

I cant, it's way to big and it was build before the start of the competition

Actually... I finished it this afternoon and I'm pleasantly surprised with its strength. I will make a video of it shortly.
