You can check out the pinned contest index topic. It has an overview of all the contests.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

I think we can do that. Will probably be without prizes, except the medal tags and eternal glory of course

So when can I expect the contest to start? I have some ideas I wanna work on.

I will get it online upcoming week or so. I will be on a holiday in two weeks, so we need to get it up-and-running before that.

Counting the days for it. Wouldnt want to reveal my thing prematurely and risk disqualifying myself

Showing your "thing" on a public forum is never a wise decision

Contest is live. Since, it's basically your contest, I have very few rules in place.

Oooh a new contest … unfortunately lots of busy weekends and lots of official Lego sets to build so I’ll most probably have an idea, start a thread and not finish building it. 🤣

I do still have my Power Loom in pieces on my desk, which I do want to complete at some stage.

Might try and do something small and easy for this, and not post unless I get close to completion.

PS already have an idea what I want to do. Also assume a few others are likely to create it too.

Contest idea - something (but not a vehicle, unless it's primary purpose is not driving) that uses one motor to perform actions, and second to change which action is performed.

Think like the fork lift truck in 8082 - http://technicopedia.com/8082.html

Thanks! I suggest joining the unbrickme discord server! We have many members here, technic fans from the 9v era who love discussing old technic models such as the forklift you mentioned :https://discord.com/invite/ZdmXnjtYDy
