  1. The numbers @Timorzelorzworz posted in their image are the beams' number of holes, their lengths are the number of holes minus 1. Therefore for geometry calculation it's 2 x 3.5 x 4. This still doesn't perfectly match up (16.25 != 16), but the articulation afforded by the black friction pin handles that.
  2. @kbalage and others have said several times in their reviews that CaDa sets tend to be more complicated to assemble, and therefore more catered towards the hardcore fan community whereas LEGO sets tend to be more carefully designed to be easier to build by a more casual audience.
  3. I wonder what colour scheme will the GT40 have? I'd love it to be the Gulf livery, but the Mk. II didn't sport that.
  4. If it can run Android 9, it should be new enough for BC2: I have phones that are way older have earlier Android versions, and they work. The issue may be with the MK hubs not being compatible, either by design or due to some hardware revision that made them incompatible (I don't have any myself to try out), or, less likely, there's something wrong with your phone. Have you tried connecting to some other kind of hub, such as SBrick, BuWizz or one of LEGO's PU hubs?
  5. I don't think we'll ever see intentionally "wear-down-able" parts in an official model, at least friction-based brakes. Electric brakes, implemented by shorting the terminals of an electric motor, have been done for ages in MINDSTORMS, at least since the RCX era with the "Brake" motor mode. But, obviously, that can only be done in motorised models.
  6. At https://github.com/vicocz/brickcontroller2/releases, scroll down to "Assets", expand it, and you should have there a link to an APK.
  7. Regrettably, development on BC2 has stopped, so I doubt you'll see that feature implemented there. On the bright side, there are two "unofficial" forks of it available for download, that are still maintained and perhaps may support that, either presently or in a future update. They're discussed somewhere in this thread, but unfortunately I don't remember what's different between them or how can they be downloaded; perhaps their authors can chime in?
  8. In that case, isn't the name of the system that began with WeDo 2.0 actually LPF2?
  9. My concern with motors is the power draw: either each one is a large unit with its own battery that has to be independently charged, or we go with separate motors and power like TLG has been doing for decades.
  10. You mean the drawings on Technicopedia? Most likely LDraw for modelling and POV-Ray for rendering.
  11. IMO 42209 is already an excellent candidate for that: it's a great pack of all kinds of parts, with the only slightly less versatile part being the bucket.
  12. Wouldn't medium azure or one of the aquas be a better approximation of the Gulf livery (assuming we'll get that and not yet another dark-blue-with-white-stripes) than sand blue?
  13. Every year it's the same story: people jump to those conclusions and decide that "this is the worst Technic year ever". Then the sets start effectively appearing, and only then opinions change (admittedly, sometimes for the worse). Then the year draws to the end, and the cycle repeats again.
  14. Well, they do have functions: they fly, and sometimes they blow up.
  15. That's why god almighty created the "Subscribe" and "Notify" buttons.
  16. 100% agreed. It's also useful for backing up in case of device upgrade or format, and for sharing alongside building instructions.
  17. Indeed, I haven't heard from @imurvai here in a while. Hopefully nothing happened to him.
  18. Once inserted, it is easy to take it out again, or is it like the legs of the UCS AT-AT?
  19. At that time, people bashed it because it had those "gimmicky" gearbox-based motorised functions instead of a gearbox dedicated to an engine transmission and manual functions. That, as well as seeing how 8275 is appreciated nowadays and equally bashed when it came out, makes me think people will look back with fondness for the sets being launched nowadays.
  20. %7BfileStore.core_Attachment%7Dmonthly_2025_05/IMG_20250527_180701.jpg.fadc24ee2a217da846248c12e2ca94b7.jpg
  21. That'd be a great opportunity for the return of the flex system (preferably in a less fragile version).
  22. If I'm not mistaken, the embargo dates are also under embargo.
