2GodBDGlory Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I dare somebody to submit a 1x1x10,000 string of axles and axle connectors to this contest, and pass it off as, say, a really wide steamroller wheel. Quote

Expand it would be 80 meters or 262.47 ft long though - very hard to take a picture of it all Quote
Philtech Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I'm thinking about whether retracting mirrors is okay. Jim said: On 4/8/2022 at 6:07 AM, Jim said: Taking off things is not permitted. If something (the crane) folds, while attached to the vehicle, it's okay. Expand I built my model in a way that it would be too big with regular mirrors, so I built so that you can retract them. I think it should be okay, because the mirrors are attached to the vehicle in extended and retracted position. But I'm not completly sure and prefer to ask for it to prevent last-minute-stress. Quote
Jim Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 As long as they don’t detach, you’re fine. Quote
Jim Posted May 10, 2022 Author Posted May 10, 2022 Lots of cool entries already. I had to look at the date to see if the contest ends next weekend hehe. I reckon this contest will be hard to judge. Quote
MangaNOID Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 I wish LEGO would do away with cars for one year and do a whole bunch of small compact sets like we are seeing with this TC. Dam there are some amazing builds that I would buy in a heart beat off the shelves Quote

Jundis Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 It's a shame Lego ideas nearly exclusively use sets which doesn't fit in any current Lego category. This forum here would be a way better source for technic models :D Quote

There are so many Technic sets eligible to be an official set. Quote
Seasider Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 I have to say voting is going to be tough on this one. So many great looking models. Quote
howitzer Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 I thought I wouldn't be participating, but it appears that I suddenly have some free time after all in the coming couple of weeks, so am I correct to assume that the contest won't be closed before the end of the month? Another question: does it have to be a model of a vehicle that moves around on its own power, or could it be something that is hauled to the site by trucks (not included in the model) and is assembled there to perform its job and then disassembled and hauled away?

Expand Correct. But be warned, and this goes voor everybody, the deadline is set. No extensions. This is because of our request for prizes has a deadline. PS would be nice to see you entering the contest Quote

Jim Posted May 13, 2022 Author Posted May 13, 2022 Hmmm I’m not really sure TBH. Would like to know what others think. A 3D printer is definitey not a vehicle. But it is an interesting idea. Quote
NoEXIST Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Can I post my model in other sites with a link to the competition before the submission deadline? Quote

Expand That’s a bit of a grey area, but I have seen people posting their entry on Facebook. So I guess it’s okay. We have the 50 post treshold for voting to avoid rigging. Quote

But it is an interesting idea. Expand Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask. I guess I could put it on tracks (I think that kind of printer also exists) so being self-propelled, it should count as a vehicle. Quote

Noone said it was supposed to be a road vehicle. If it can move, you're good. Glad you're in for that TC, @howitzer Quote
