    Collectible minifigsmodels and a celebratory set aren't mutually exclusive... I hope.

    I feel those are one year early: they would've been a quirky (but hopefully not the only one) celebration of Technic's 50th anniversary in 2027.

    The image does say that it's not the final artwork.

    Welcome to the Technic fandom...

    Actually, the first CTG member was released before the actual CT: 1 of January for 42093, 1 of August for 42098. Therefore the numbers mean even less.

    It could be interesting, but what about mechanical functions? IIRC the Tumbler has a boat-style throttle, which hints at no gearbox (turbine used only to power electric motor?), so that leaves us with steering, suspension, and the "auxiliary" functions of movable cockpit, ailerons and pop-up weapons... unless they were able to somehow implement the motorcycle eject function. Now that would be neat.

    Interesting, a Speed Champions motorcycle. Now there's something LEGO never tried out.

    Is this the first Technic car with a multicylinder transverse engine?

    Hopefully this time they made a drum piece that has openings on both ends (one of which being covered for usage on cement mixers, of course): that'd make it infinitely more useful for GBC.

    But, considering the thread we're in, I doubt any of those MOCs are of 2026 sets...

    Nobody forces you to follow the instructions.

    Me too, along with his buddies.

    @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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    At https://github.com/vicocz/brickcontroller2/releases, scroll down to "Assets", expand it, and you should have there a link to an APK.

    I couldn't agree more.

    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?

    In that case, isn't the name of the system that began with WeDo 2.0 actually LPF2?
  21. AVCampos
    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.
  22. AVCampos
    You mean the drawings on Technicopedia? Most likely LDraw for modelling and POV-Ray for rendering.
  23. AVCampos
    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.
  24. AVCampos
    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?
  25. AVCampos
    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.
