Congratulations to everyone, especially the winners, which were amazing builds
Bit disappointed I couldn't enter this time, but hopefully I'll be able to when TC17 comes around around...

Very surprised by how few entries there were, but at least that's made it easier for me
Good luck everyone!

Very nice! When I was originally considering whether I would enter TC16, this was exactly what I was thinking of building! Glad I didn't, because you've done a much better job than I would have

Nice, don't know if it's a contest for me, but it could be fun...

You mean something a bit like this?

I agree, though I don't really care which comes first, as they'd both be fun.

Does anyone remember this?

Well for that it should be quite efficient, as it would have periods where it would be off, and saving power.
My advice would be to do some experiments to see how much air it uses, and maybe even add a second air tank, so that when it's full (and not running), it would have a longer time before it turns back on.

To be honest I really don't know, but I'd assume that it would last longer for creations that don't use much air.

I've used Lego for many things, but most commonly for custom camera supports, such as the one that I use to film the intro for my YouTube videos (which let my usual camera tripod hold my phone), and another one that got it's own video.

@Nexogeek I couldn't agree more, Agents was just such a well done theme, with all of the sets having just the right mix of details and play features. I just recently bought the last set to complete my collection of agents, and like you, I still like it just as much as when I was younger.

Nice, but to me it seemed like it was too focused on battling sea creatures than Atlantis itself. Still, it did have some nice designs...
7/10
Next theme: Ninja

I've actually already answered this question:

The red and black ones look like they could be useful, but I agree with @Lyichir on the other ones...

Weird though, to think that it is a platform for sharing builds and gathering support for projects has locked out deeplinks.
That still doesn't explain why it's working for me though...
Edit: Except the images for The Pirate Bay linked above, which I can't see...

That's strange, I have no issues whatsoever... And the image you posted isn't showing for me...

It could be a issue with the smaller (thumbnail) versions - try clicking on the image (zoom in) and then copy the image.
Example URLs:

And here's them embedded:
SpoilerEdit: Maybe that isn't what's wrong....

Just finished making some renders: (first two made with Blender, last one made with Stud.io, both gifs created with ImageMagick)

11 hours ago, Oliver 79 said:OK. But if the prize is a BuWizz, isn't it a bit limiting to non owners of a BuWizz?
I know, but like @nerdsforprez said, it's just another form of advertising/marketing.
Also, we already had this discussion in the last BuWizz competition...

Lego could possibly make a rechargeable battery that replaces the battery holder (and possibly the entire bottom) of the PU controller, just like what was done for the NXT and EV3 batteries.
Also, we still don't know the details of the new Control+ coming in 42099 and 42100 - for all we know, it could have a built-in rechargeable battery, just like BuWizz.

Because they build LPEs (Lego Pneumatic Engines) instead:

Thanks, finding ever smaller ways of building complex mechanisms is actually one of my favorite things to do with Lego.

That would make for a great contest, but considering we have just had two big contests, I think we really need to have a smaller one first...

I've seen them used here, so there must be a way of using them.

Wow time has gone by fast, I just realized the last MOC I built was for TC15, and that was about a year ago!
Hopefully I'll have time to enter, I've got a few nice ideas this time...
