    It's also possible that it's the front that shows the excavator loaded onto the truck, according to the precedent set by 8872.
  2. AVCampos
    Perhaps the rumour mistook "McLaren" with "Lamborghini".
  3. AVCampos
    New Elementary seems right for you, then.
  4. AVCampos
    No, that one's too classy. I meant the modern one, the most beautiful car ever known to humanity and beyond.
  5. AVCampos
    Ah dang it, I was rooting for a Fiat Multipla!

    As the set was designed by Lee Magpili, who worked for many years in MINDSTORMS, that can't be a coincidence. Always good to see some MINDSTORMS love!

    Most likely it's for fanservice: to give us more of this new part. A similar thing happened when teal returned: it was commonly present in pieces buried inside sets, for which colour didn't affect the final result.

    The motor that comes in SPIKE Essential is quite small, but given that that set is expensive and uncommon, its prices on BL are outrageous. Hopefully future Technic sets adopt it (like they did with the L and XL angular motors), to bring availability up and prices down.

    SPIKE/MINDSTORMS.

    It cannot be a coincidence that, from a Mack garbage truck A-model you created a Mack container truck B-model, to go with the Mack garbage truck B-model that you created from a Mack container truck A-model. Well played, good sir, well played.

    I'm not knowledgeable enough about USB ports; is it enough to replace the MicroUSB plug with a USB-C one (and change the case moulding around it accordingly), or are there electrical differences?
  12. AVCampos
    Technically I don't see why not, but in practice it'd require juggling more license partners, and that might not be worth the trouble.
  13. AVCampos
    In some cases, functionality is lost when converting from PU into PF. An example is the Liebherr excavator's app-based reverse kinematics, which lets you tell it where to put the shovel and it figures out the necessary joint angles to do it.
  14. AVCampos
    That's not saying much, because I don't think there are any other witches here.
  15. AVCampos
    Agreed. But personally, I'd be happy enough with only 4 ports, as long as there was a physical controller for it (similar to those CaDa and MK systems). However, if it has a USB port and a battery, I fear that, when the battery reaches its end-of-life, so will the hub. Although there's always the possibility of third-parties stepping in, it's always harder for the consumer than fan-made replacements for discontinued software, and the precedent of (AFAIK) no unofficial alternatives to the SPIKE battery further worries me.

    If I'm not mistaken, the Liebherr crane was supposed to be 2022's flagship but was delayed to 2023.

    I don't care much about which supercar model or colour is chosen (just don't repeat the previous cars' models/colours, please), but instead hope to see a evolution in features: we're yet to see the return of raising suspension (since 8297) and four-wheel steering (since 8880), for example. I think it's also safe to assume that the gearbox will be new, using the elements introduced in the Yamaha bike.
  18. AVCampos
    Assuming that the new material of the 5L link is the same as of the 7L link, I hope they share the same enhanced traction on smooth surfaces, but fear they share the same ease of easily disconnecting.
  19. AVCampos
    Hopefully the sound brick in the Sorting Hat can connect to other LEGO electronics?
  20. AVCampos
    How is the traction with the new material, compared to the old one?
  21. AVCampos
    That's what she said. (sorry, I couldn't resist )
  22. AVCampos
    If so, I can already hear fans groaning about inflating the part count just to get to that number.
  23. AVCampos
    Of the fifty shades of blue of LEGO, I think dark azure is the most "electric" of all.
  24. AVCampos
    Despite AA/AAA's clunkiness, I prefer them any day over proprietary LiPo. Unlike mobile apps, which can have workarounds, once a proprietary battery dies and is no longer supported, it's almost impossible to have it working again without some electrical/soldering skills.
  25. AVCampos
    That would provide even more power and eliminate long drivetrains, but in my case can't be done because I want to use a single 4-port Technic hub, and the motor ports will already be taken by 2 for propulsion, 1 for steering and 1 for gear shifting.
