doug72 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) (TC14) Urban Wave: (WIP) The fairground near where I live has a unique fairground ride in the UK, and I am attempting to replicate this for the contest. You can surf without getting wet ! A fairly simple build but controlling the rider will be a challenge. My grand children always go on it when they visit. Edited August 13, 2018 by Doug72 Quote
doug72 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Just now, pagicence said: Maybe make it wide enough to fit 2 or 3 riders at the same time? It will definitly be wider, depending on many lego track links I have but only one rider as only have one lego figure. Have Meccanno figure but it has lost it feet and is banned ! Quote
Bublehead Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Maybe do it like a wake board being towed behind a boat? That way you could have a “rope” the rider is holding on to that doubles as the controlling force to keep them stationary or move back and forth? Great idea for a ride Quote
doug72 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion, it has possibilities - might change the title to WAKE RIDER. I was thinking of either tilting the moving belt from side to side or a 32L axle from behind to oscillate the surfer. Hopefully I will be able to control all movements using 1 or 2 motors with PF control. Edited July 6, 2018 by Doug72 Quote
doug72 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Progress has been non existent, due lack of crucial parts - all used up building the Akiyuki Train system, and due lack of time I am with drawing from the contest. If anyone else wants to try and build it please do. Edited August 13, 2018 by Doug72 Quote
Seasider Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 That’s a shame Doug I was looking forward to seeing your creation Quote
