Nathanael Kuipers' Fully RC'ed 8292 Cherrypicker

[DLuders]

Lego employee Nathanael Kuipers created a fully-remote-controlled 8292 Cherrypicker. From the MOCPages website http://mocpages.com/moc.php/95328 , he described his improvements to the basic set and supplied 8 photographs and a video. He was the designer of the original 8292 set; that's him in the last photo below. He wrote:

"Technic truck I designed during my work at LEGO. It has my initials NK and Birthday as a personal touch. A new challenge was to make the model RC without changing the external design. Fully functional and easy to control. See video description for more."

14 high-resolution photos on his Brickshelf gallery (User Name = "IndustrialDesigner") : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=312573 . If you browse all of his MOCs on Brickshelf, we can hope that TLG will release some of them as Official Sets someday!

I came across this interview of Nathanael Kuipers done in September 2009 by A. Verde. Nathanael explains his experiences in designing the 8292 Lego Technic Cherry Picker set, and his other great Lego sets and MOCs. On Brickshelf, he's known as "Industrialdesigner."
