LEGO Ready (premium, pre-assembled models for adults) is very good! That's the lego spirit! I heard there will be a partnership with Ik*a for pre-built shelves...

Just voted! This was an incredible contest, lots of very cool builds. Congratulations to all participants!

@Pybricks: this work would not be possible without you!

Hi everybody, Back in 2021 I have done Remote Bla Bla, a general-purpose program to use LEGO Powered Up hubs, avoiding the need to program. It was a bit awkward! I now present you RemoteBlaBla 2, which uses an android App to configure the hub. Information and videos about how it works here. RemoteBlaBla is used to configure the LEGO Hubs, with no need for programming. You define the hub behavior in response to remote control actions with the RemoteBlaBla App. The configuration is saved on the Hub so that you can play with it. No need to use the phone to control the hub. Later, you can go back to the App to change the configuration. The result seems very promising to me. However, I cannot publish it without testing, so I am asking for your help! Nowadays, publishing an app in Google Play Store requires an internal test step that must be done by at least 12 people, for at least, 14 consecutive days. Without that, I am not able to publish the RemoteBlaBla App in Google Play store. So, I ask you if you want to help me by being a tester. Google requirements for this are: Have a gmail account (which you must share with me) Have an android device (android 10 or upper) Join the testing program, during 14 consecutive days (I would provide you the link) Download the test version of RemoteBlaBla App on your phone After that, considering that you have a Technic, City, Prime or Inventor hub and some motors, you can do real testing and let me know about it. Only after this Closed Test step I am able to candidate my App to Open Testing, And then, production release. It is a heavy process for an individual developer... Being RemoteBlaBla made for MOC builders, I am asking you for Closed Testers. If you are interested in being a tester, please send me a Private Message. I Would be very glad for your help! PS: the app is free and with no ads. VascoLP

I think this is a problem of the new materials lego uses. Also, they are more sensible to high temperatures (for instance washing with hot water), and loosing clutch efect is one of the consequences.

Maybe these help: and

Sugestion: Use sub-models as much as you can! And sub-sub-models, if it makes sense... It makes instruction creation easier. Creating instructions is harder than creating the model itself... Think on how it will be built and divide. This is probably a particularly useful advice in your case, considering your writing and room organization ... sorry, could not resist! PS: nice MOC! MOCs!

My visual main indicator used to be the boldness of text. And we all know humans don't like change... but I am sure I can live with that! The background works fine but ... I have to get used to it Anyway, other combinations are possible, for instance underlined if unread... And don't waste too much time just because of me! Well I know, people will start to think underline is a link....

That!

After doing all that, if I zoom about 300% (!), I can see a little difference in the fonts... but it is almost imperceptible. I can distinguish only by grey (unread) against white(read). On my android 14, with chrome, the same. It suggested to install the eurobricks APP (this is new, isn't it??) and inside it, its the same.

Chrome on windows 11

I can't see a font difference... It seems that unread threads have a grey background, and the others are white, thats the only difference I can spot. I would prefer a bold/regular distinction. That and the name of the next unread topic....

Here is one of those tiny details: In the bottom of the page you have the "Next unread topic" button. I am pretty sure this used to have the name of the next topic... Best Regards and thanks for the nice work!

Many ideas here: Show Us Your Working Place/lego Room !

I really like this and the simple clutch mechanism! In the video I also had a concern like gyenesvi, if the car would slowdown every time you switch gear. But it seems to work ok. The ideia of a 360º run instead of something like +90º, -90º is very interesting, and it uses directly the stepper. Great work!

If you are on Windows I suggest a tool called PDFill. Also very good to manage stud.io generated instructions.

There are also transparent minifig heads...

Technic Rock rocks, Technic Pop dances! Some prefer Technic Techno, others Technic R&B. Classic Technic or Electronics Technic? What will it be? Some prefer Technic Jazz, some Technic Metal! Am I making sense? Or nonsense at all?

Very interesting! Just tried part of it and it is a perfect triagle! I thought thesewould be too wek but you have a 5L thin liftarm in the back on each side, don´t you? Also, why the 3x5 liftarm? For protection? Limiter?

There are five different versions for this part! I found three in my collection and: 32174: ok, all the way 60176: not ok, but it goes half way 93571: ok, all the way Yours seems to be the most recent one.

I don´t know exactly how I can help you but I simpathize with you! Meanwhile, I found this FAQ which might be useful to explain: https://merchantfaq.wish.com/hc/en-us/articles/10790659715483-South-Korea-product-regulations-FAQs

You could try pybricks

Going mechanical is the Lego way Anyway, it seems you are codding like this: move 90º, move -90º, move 90º….. Doing it this way means that errors accumulate, and you might get what you got, 90 degrees out of sync. Instead, I suggest something like: go to 45º angle, go to -45º angle, go to 45º angle… this way, errors do not accumulate... and you wont even need to go to 0 to initialize.

I have just seen the video (didn´t noticed it before) and this is fantastic! Well... I thought I was able to paste the video... it works while composing the message... but it does not appear when saving. So video is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/akergarden/53587289346/in/datetaken/
