Seasider Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Iām hoping to see lots of original creations rather than just copies of real bikes. Quote
2GodBDGlory Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 This is the first contest to start since I joined the forum, so I am excited to participate this time! 11 hours ago, jorgeopesi said: Believe or not I had just asked for a Ducati to Santa, I do not like specially bikes but I think it is a cheap set piece for piece so I will have wheels if Santa wants... Me too! If I don't get it, I may run into issues for the contest... Quote
msk6003 Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Last question about number of wheels.... Is monobikeĀ is allowed? Quote
Rudivdk Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Wow, onto the second page of comments about trying to bend the rules... let's just build a motorbike with two wheels people! How hard can it be...Ā -Ā takes a few deeeep breaths... - Anyway... like TC15 this is a nice stretch from my usual comfort zone, so count me in. Just spend about 15 minutes tinkering this morning, and I think I'm rollin' now. Thanks @JimĀ and others that contributed for kicking off another contest Quote

Me too! If I don't get it, I may run into issues for the contest... I hope you get it in time and nice to see you joining. So let me summarize some of the questions. Can I build a trike? Yes, you can build a trike with two wheels or a trike with two wheels and a sidecar (wheels need to be touching the road). Can I build a quad? Yes, you can build a quad with two wheels or a quad with two wheels and a sidecar (wheels need to be touching the road). Can I build a hoverbike? Yes, you can build a hoverbike with two wheels or a hoverbike with two wheels and a sidecar (wheels need to be touching the road). Can I build a monobike? Yes, you can build a monobike with two wheels or a monobike with two wheels and a sidecar (wheels need to be touching the road). I hope this makes the rules easier to understand. Happy building! P.S. And if you'reĀ wondering whether you can make a plane or a 6x6 trial truck? You can, as long as it's a motorbike with two wheels or a motorbike with two wheels and a sidecar and the wheels need to be touching the road. Quote

Jim Posted December 23, 2020 Author Posted December 23, 2020 You do mean clouds with two wheels or clouds with two wheels and a sidecar, right?!Ā Quote

Lasse D Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I'm so happy that the rules allow for a Segway, Velo Solex, and even the Gyro-X! Quote

Lipko Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 DoĀ the wheels have to be circular? Or any other shapes are allowed? Quote
syclone Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Oh my, new contest, time for another neverfinished WIPĀ No idea whatsoever what to build though, hopefully will put something together while on uni break, thanks so much forĀ your dedicationĀ to organize this competition! Ā Quote

Gray Gear Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Well I am very happy that I dont have any suitable wheels or shocks. That means you cant tempt me with thisĀ Ā I already have too many projects and ideas on my ownĀ Quote

Ehhhm Jim, is this rule a leftover from TC18 text, or do we have to provide a chassis picture of the motorbikeĀ this time too? I'm fine either way, just checking... Quote
Erik Leppen Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Cool to see the competition finally launched. Looking forward to seeing all the entries develop. I probably won't be joining (as in, building an entry) because I will not be near my Lego for most of January (besides, I don't have the wheels). Which is too bad, because I liked the challenge as it'sĀ not tooĀ daunting but still outside my comfort zone. But oh well. I'll check out the other entriesĀ :) Good luck to all! :D Edited December 23, 2020 by Erik Leppen Quote
2GodBDGlory Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Has anyone ever noticed how stupid the words "monobike" and "quad bike" are? If we assume that "bike" is short for "bicycle," these two words literally mean "one-two-wheel" and "four-two-wheel"! At least "tricycle" is logical... Quote
Newest_Tech320 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 sounds cool, but I don't know how to build motorbikes, so I guess I will just look around. Quote

Me neither but Iām going to have a go. You should too, I figure a good way to learn is to do this comp.Ā worst case, build half a car. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Just wanna chime in that you dont need to base the model on a fancy real life motorbike to make it appealing. A fellow from my country (https://www.flickr.com/photos/khanglego)Ā built this.Ā The realĀ motobikeĀ is common as dirt in my country, but the model is stunning nonetheless. Edited December 24, 2020 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
SaperPL Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Is there a restriction or recommended dimensions for the bike? What about making a studio project for the renders and building a prototype that shows working functionality if I don't want to buy specific bricks in valid colours as long as the model has parts in existing colours? Quote
Jim Posted December 25, 2020 Author Posted December 25, 2020 There is no dimension restriction but the entry should be built with realĀ bricks. No pictures of digital entries. Quote
