    I can see at least two reasons: During marketing research they figured out that Rollses and Bentleys aren't as attractive to the target audience compared to other brands Rolls & Bentley don't think Lego's audience is worth marketing to.

    putting a finger on a profile, holding it there and swiping either to the left or to the right seems to do it. If I remember correctly.

    Wasn't aware of these, so looked it up: LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI Kit - Grades 6-8 | LEGO Education (You'll have to click through to the pictures) Is there any place that has any clearer pictures of the new parts?

    I wonder if the cams for the cylinders are properly set up at 0:48 . There are 4 possible cam positions, you'd think they'd place all of them out of sync.

    Thank you for the thorough explanation of the features- this is all very insightful! It's a gorgeous model, and it was great to learn about the design and features.

    The App-controlled batmobile had only 316 pieces.

    It will be more fragile.

    Dark pink or magenta would be a day 1 buy for me.

    Sometimes it's just better to say "well, apparently I'm not the target audience here" and walk away. Sparkle Smash monster truck toys have been selling since 2019. I'm sure Lego has done more market research on this than you have.

    Love it. Glad we're getting a bunch of recoloured parts.

    It seems like that to a casual observer. However, even though they may have been based on similar models in similar scales, they are both vastly improved as far as functionality goes.

    Engineering wants corporate to know that while both models depict a motorcycle in a similar scale, there are plenty of improvements and significant differences between the two. Engineering recommends a visit to an optometrist.

    I really recommend this site for figuring out Pythagorean triangles: Technic Triangles A green connection means it's a valid triangle with discrete stud lengths, yellow means one or more of the lengths include half-studs. Black circle means "close enough". (Deviation less than 0.08mm)

    I prefer to spend as little of my time on reddit as possible.

    I'm glad to see the colour pallette of reddish orange is expanded, but I'm not very inspired by the model itself.

    Supposedly this was an intentional decision by Carol Shelby. He reasoned that most tracks run clockwise, putting the driver on the inside of the turn would provide better balance and control. Since American drivers struggled to shift lefthanded, the gear shifter was moved to the right of the driver instead of in the middle.

    Knowing Lego I'd say 6 studs, for more Pythagoras Potential™.

    They would have to produce a thin version for the front tires. That doesn't exist yet. Still priced 75 bucks though.
  20. mahjqa
    That offset liftarm to create the front windscreen may be useful, but I would like to use a few rude words about that price.

    Like some sort of drifting mechanism with spinning rear tires and new suspension components. So sad that no set like that was released this year.

    After a trial run earlier this year we made it to Legoworld in Utrecht for seven days of fun with heavy machinery. This scale allows for vehicles that are both attractive and functional, and we're pleased to report we had very little technical trouble along the way. Replacing one burned out L motor, some fiddling with the parts and back to mining we went. We had lots of positive attention from the audience, and we hope you'll like the video as well.

    Yeah, that requires a bit more commitment than I'm into. I'd be willing to contribute financially to get the brickcontroller2 app updated and properly into the app store, but messing with developer profiles more commitment than I'm into. In the mean time I installed brickcontroller2 on an old android phone, which for now seems to have fixed the issue.

    I'm having trouble with brickcontroller2 version 3.1 on an Ipad- after running for a couple of minutes the steering servo locks itself at a 90 degree angle. It doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue, restarting the profile in the app zeroes the steering again. Does anyone know of a fix? I tried putting the steering servo on different ports, but no luck so far. The hub's firmware is up to date. I'm reading things about forked apps in this thread, but I suppose there's some jailbreaking to be done to run these on Ipad, or am I wrong there?

    Another meeting, another video: There's still plenty to do in preparation for Legoworld in a month, but folks have brought their greatest machines to contribute
