    Okay, so I guess the challenge was build something on top of it and then race it? I only found a review of the episode in which they just talk a lot but not show anything.. So it's about whose bodywork looks cooler and who can drive better (the exact same chassis)?

    The challenge was to build an alt build from two mashed up vehicles.  Whoever wins aesthetics win pole position. Then they race their builds on a mixed terrain track for 6 laps and whoever wins that gets their build immortalized digitally in Lego 2K Drive.  I’m not sure where you can watch it but maybe soon a snippet or clip will be available on YouTube.

     

    It was a very fun episode and I always liked these kind of challenges.  This is like the destruction derby episode of a previous season of LM US.

    Great find, this article is!  Nice insight on the production behind the scenes.

    What are they using this for? What's this Lego 2K drive? I only found some video game..

    This was used for US Lego Masters Season 4 Episode 8’s build and race challenge in partnership with 2K Drive.

    I think they use 3rd party stuff coz Lego doesnt have fast and strong motors for this type of challenges, and the lack of physical remote controllers


  3. The Technic AR app may really only be playable with a few specific sets,  but you can still use to to bring your creations to life with the augmented reality environment.

    Ain't that cool?

     

     

    My second one is integrating the pullback motor to a sidecar that can be attached to Motorcycle 42132.   Either side works depending on where you are in the world.  =)

     

     

    Looking forward to everyone else's pullback hacks.

     


  4. Let’s see some hacks 😉

    I’ll start with my mod to the Speed Champions Mopar Dodge Dragster (76904).

    I’m looking to add the pull-back motor to more Speed Champion sets so I can have a drag race with same scale cars.  The challenge is definitely the size of the cars so maybe I’ll start with the SUVs.

     

    Also tried the Technic AR app and sadly it does image recognition and only works with either the Mustang or the Porsche Formula E. 🤨 Wish it would work with any car too.

    Any thoughts on the feasibility of this solution (without the large outer rim turntable, or possibly with the outer turntable).

    I have used this similar simple solution with my 6DoF Arm and it held up pretty fine.   I didn't use any "bearings" for the banana gears like it was done with the Big Red/Liebherr or others' robotic arms.   The banana racks in my MOC are primarily just where the arm glides over.   
     

    I think if the weight is evenly distributed between your wheels, the simpler design should not be an issue.  Testing this with real physical model will give you the confirmation.

    If you notice the blue pins is both pictures, when the two pieces are attached together, 2L beams are put on those pins to lock the 2 pieces together.

    How do you attach the 2L beams? From the pictures, it seems impossible to do as I don’t see a way a finger could push those beams to the pins once the upper part is in place.

     

    It is a very clever way nonetheless!  I may borrow this one someday 😉


  7. Based on your initial design, I imagine this will really be huge. I sure hope it will be stable enough to stand and “walk”.

    I too have a big robot moc in mind that I’ll be working on once I get more free time. I think I now have enough parts and electronics to make it work. And now having hub-to-hub officially supported is great!

    I will take what I learned from upgrading Blast to a biped and see how it works with a bigger version.

    Will watch out for your updates and maybe can learn from each other. 😉

    I am still planning on making a big robot (yes, I do, really) and I have been looking into big turntable designs.

    Curious what big robot you have in mind that will need big turntables. Looking forward to see and read about it here. 👌

    Hoping to see from both of you some content soon, as it's pretty dead here in the Mindstorms forum (I actually sometimes think to just post my builds in Technic subforum to get more views/reactions).

    I agree ☝️ Wish the Mindstorms forum is as active as the Technic forum. Not much feedback happening on the topics here.
