MikeTwo9398 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Congratulations winners. Awesome designs. :thumbup: Quote
gmshades Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 From looking at the results, I think I'm better off taking on the challenge to build something within the limits of the competition, but to keep it to myself. My ranking keeps getting lower each contest, so I don't want to feel disappointed. Congrats to the winners. Quote
Captainowie Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 From looking at the results, I think I'm better off taking on the challenge to build something within the limits of the competition, but to keep it to myself. My ranking keeps getting lower each contest, so I don't want to feel disappointed. It would be a shame if you did that. You might think "Oh, I only got 44 points", but if you consider that 12 voters had your model in their top 6, that's actually a pretty good outcome. Plus, you can lord it all over people like me, who didn't even enter. If you're entering these contests for the purpose of winning, you're doing it wrong. Quote
miguev Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 +1, don't be disappointed and don't let that discourage you. Oh, I only got 14 points in TC5... I was super happy and surprised I got any points at all! The whole point of participating was to prove to myself that I could build something within the given time and rules. The sense of accomplishment came from achieving that (humble but realistic) goal. Maybe one day you win. Maybe one day I win. But that doesn't matter, the play is the goal! Similarly, I recently fell in love with some card games (e.g. Pirate Fluxx) and I never ever win, but playing is some much fun! :) Quote

Epic Technic Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 When I got my first point, my goal was achieved and it made my day. Now for TC7 I'll make sure that I refine my MOC( maybe we'll have to make a MOD) so it has a better chance. I must give all my thanks to JIM, the Vengit team and the rest of EuroBricks! So when's TC7 coming along, and what might it be? ;) Quote
nerdsforprez Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Wish I would have been follwoing this more thoroughly before. Great Job All! There were some really nice entries.... Quote
Seasider Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Gmshades - I peaked at my first competition where I finished 5th (I think) in the triple competition but it's been all downhill since then. But hey it's the taking part and the challenge of the build to the rules that matters in my mind Quote
Appie Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Congrats to the winners and thanks everybody who voted for my entry. Quote
BachAddict Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Congrat to the winners, great MOCs, especially the 1. and 2. places! I am sad, that Katipo is not in the top 3:( Me too, but I know I what I can do better next time. From looking at the results, I think I'm better off taking on the challenge to build something within the limits of the competition, but to keep it to myself. My ranking keeps getting lower each contest, so I don't want to feel disappointed. Congrats to the winners. My entry is the first original MOC I have ever built for a contest. Knowing that I could not compete with people like you, I focused on uniqueness. I liked your truck, but it was quite similar to other good entries. Comic Sans didn't help your case either! :P Quote
5imon Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Congratulations to all the contestants! I tried but could not finish my entry on time, so I know what an effort it is to participate, even if you don't score many points. Unforunately I didn't have enough time to really dedicate the time to watch all the videos and study the entries, so I didn't vote. There were just too many great entries for a quick decision. I hope that soon we will see another great contest, I might give it another try. Quote
Rockbrick Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) i voted for the models I thought gave the most playability/funcionality for the 4 channels of control for the motors - not just gratuitious added on functions (even though the model may have looked superb) this is the Lego philosophy Edited March 3, 2015 by Rockbrick Quote
miguev Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Oh, and Big Congrats to the winners! And thank you Jim and all participants to make this happen. I just managed to catch up with about 8 pages of unread threads to all I had missed out, amazing models! Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Congrats to all. Though the results were different to what I imagined, as soon as I saw that artic equalizer I thought it had won straight away. I thought it would be difficult for any of the supercars to get in the top 10, even the Alfa and the hot rod. But the winners were well deserved, jereon ottens constantly worked to perfect his entry, omikron surprised me and many others because he was keeping his moc a secret and everyone expected it to be a very high standard if he was giving us those teasers, and I was gobsmacked when I saw the complexity of his moc and how he could incorporate so many functions despite having only 4 outputs. And as for teclem, I didn't keep up with his topic too much, but the end result was incredible, and turned out to be a very well thought out and designed truck, with much functionality. Quote
filsawgood Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks to the organizers for a great and interesting contest! Thank you for the interesting model contestants! Congratulations to the winners with a victory! Quote
Fissl Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 congratulations everyone! special thanks to all the people who voted for my entry! And of course big props to Jim for the organization! Quote

XAxles Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 What's after the pro tag? Maven? Virtuoso? UltraMegaman?! Has anyone ever done a three-peat, even? Quote
Omikron Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 What's after the pro tag? Maven? Virtuoso? UltraMegaman?! Has anyone ever done a three-peat, even? Golden pro tag? Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Golden pro tag? Hmm, that sounds enticing Today I received my Sbricks, unfortunately I am already dismanteling the Alfa for my next MOC . And I don't have PF extension wires so I can't even hook 'em up yet Edited March 12, 2015 by Jeroen Ottens Quote
