ChocolateEinstein Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) a big ol container moving vehicle Pretty happy with this, It was able to carry over 3 kilograms if I added extra weight to the back. Rebrickable Instructions LXF file Edited March 15, 2016 by ChocolateEinstein Quote
Riley-NZL Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Cool! Would be even cooler if you could get a cab on it. Another thing you could try, is having pressure/friction grabbing system rather then the hooks at each end, so you could have flat sided containers? Quote
ChocolateEinstein Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 I had experimented with pneumatics, but I wasn't able to find a way to compress air with the current amount of motors I have. Also, I think that may have caused a but of damage to some pins, as I had made the grabber with levers to increase its strength.

But yes, it might require to much pressure to be able to be done with lego. Possibly using something rubber as the contact surface might require less force to hold it? Either way, it works pretty effectively as it is. Edited March 11, 2016 by Riley-NZL Quote

I should have thought of those! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Nice build so far... I assume you will dress this baby up somehow? Quote
ChocolateEinstein Posted March 13, 2016 Author Posted March 13, 2016 It's in a few too many prices for that right now, haha. I do want to build something similar in the future that telescopes the arm, so I'll make that one prettier than a princess! Quote
