[TC12] Technic Wacky Wheels Contest - Information Topic

Recommended Posts

I think I got my idea. I want to do a car, with paddles to move. I was testing a tracked trike, but not to my expectations.

@Jim if your ready with the build you have made, is it then that you place it in the topic that you create for it? Or will there be given a date that you have to post it?

Generally you just make a WIP topic, then when the build is finished, you post a comment on the entry topic.

@Jim said:  The first requirement for the vehicle is that it needs to have wheels or treads, since it is a road race!

I gave it an opportunity to the contest but I can't do anything, I haven't got enough imagination so I hope at least to learn something.

I think he means the name of the main wacky function.

The name for a mechanism to block or bump a car behind yours of the track?

I guess so, as long as it's the main (non-drive, non-steering) function.

Yup.

I have removed it from the list though. If you have cool name for your move, you are welcome to name it. But it's not mandatory.

Start your personal topic where you can post whatever you want. When you are done, you make one post in the Entry topic. Usually this is just before the deadline date.

If i read all this here, a lot of members will enter this contest. But if i look at the entris untill now, are low. Also not a lot of wip in the topics. On the other hand, it can change in a few days ( witch i hope ) and then we hope to see a lot of wacky builds and the wip of them.

Since this is a contest, a lot of entries are often not posted until they are complete. So there will be (hopefully) many more entries closer to the deadline.

O ok, i tought that you have to make wip in your [TC12] topic. I tought that the rules says to show your progress of your build with the wip pictures. I think i have to read the rules again, because what you just sayd it looks like i got them interpreted them totaly wrong..

You need to make WIP/Discussion topic for your model. You can make it any time you want, as long as it is posted before the deadline.

You also need to make Entry post in the Entry topic with your finished model, also before the deadline.

Like Milan said, you can create your very own special [TC12] topic! Looking forward to what you come up with.

Your prayers have been answered. Good luck with going on today :laugh:

Maybe we need a place to track the [TC12] topics.  Any suggestions?

Collect them in the entry topic? Make a separate locked topic? Collect them in the 1st or 2nd post of this topic?
