[MINI] Offroad Racer
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The seat is already touching the unmovable pistons, and the cabin is up to the steering. It is still kind of odd though, I agree -
Flight using Lego
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Whoever has helium or methane or hydrogen can make 2 balloons and attach PF with 2 propellers (any will do) and a reciever. We will have 'flown Lego', at least kind of our original goal don't look at me I have no helium- 157 replies

Maybe lose the 'armrests' -

anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, I don't have rotors or motors suitable for building How about someone builds an airship first, just to show we tried? I could do that maybe... If you don't have helium, use methane, natural gas, still floats, doesn't leak There is natural gas in Denmark... maybe even in Billund...- 157 replies

Linear Actuator Gearbox
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Here it is, the new more compact gearbox, IN REAL LIFE Thanks for the ideas, erelender, though I am not quite ready to use more than one actuator yet, it is now more of a gearbox than a gearline. Brzoom here is the double shear, not reinforced yet, but working all the same -

Linear Actuator Gearbox
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Based on the suggestions everyone has given, I have created a more compact fully-working gearbox, photos and video coming soon -

Please give me some suggestions, i am running out of ideas -
[MINI] Lawn Tractor

Yes Eraman how are you going to build it in real life, if you are going to? According to what I saw in the MINI contest page, you have to build it in real -

Well said. -
[MINI][WIP] 6 wheeler
anton1678 replied to CNT2's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, it isn't exactly advanced... How about doors and a steering wheel in the front, Possibly connected to actual steering? See my Offroad Racer or Eraman's Lawn Tractor for ideas on what to add, because right now, (sorry if I sound offensive) your MINI project is probably the least functional so far That's only because all the other entries are pretty high quality Though the gun is cool, think of this project as something LEGO would make into an actual set You have a lot of sets (saw your brickshelf), try using only one colour scheme, not all of them -

Linear Actuator Gearbox
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No need to share it, I can already see that won't work as well as expected. I can tell you don't have any actual actuators, because you forgot that they spin unless held still It would be hard to make an 8t gear work, because it is so small, and will slip around through your mechanism Just to tell you, once the linear actuators can't extend/contract any more, the just make a loud noise and start vibrating like crazy, so you have to make it strong enough to withstand that. Great ideas though, I will work on it in real life now, send a video perhaps Sariel said he used a 'small linear actuator' in his Hummer for the gearbox, so this idea isn't as new as it seems -

Just don't make the same mistake on your other posts -
Linear Actuator Gearbox

Why are you so angry? I didn't do anything against you, or try to make you seem bad. I only mentioned you! Why call mine a fail, if I didn't call yours anything bad! -
Linear Actuator Gearbox
anton1678 replied to anton1678's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Actually, the main part that slipped was the drive motor, but i've fixed that -
I was looking at TheItalianBrick's post about the modular gearbox, and I tried to make it. This is too big for that topic, so I made this my own topic. I failed, so I tried my own way. It uses a linear actuator to make a really thin, long gearbox, though I could make it normal with just one tiny gear. It allows smooth movement back and forth, for each of the 4 functions. I wouldn't recommend this in a short vehicle, because it widens and shortens, best used in like a crane or something. It uses 1 motor for drive, 1 for change, and has 4 functions. You could use just one of these gearboxes to power 2 more, and those to power 4 more, then 8 more, then etc. You'd need a lot of torque, but it could work, eventually to 64, 128, 256 even, functions for just 2 motors, if you have enough bricks. I could build about 2 more, so 8 functions for me.
