Congratulations to the winners! Very well done, the competition was tough.

Looks very good, although the front and rear wheel rims could be matched a bit better. Steering is very well done, I like how hidden it is.

Beautiful shape Paul, especially the rear end. Using flex axles instead of the new panels was a good idea, as it would have ended up looking too much like the Porsche.

The nice selection of attachments lifts the tractor to a new level. Very good work.

Did you see this Mindstorms one:

There is not much known about PF 2.0 besides an apparent compatibility with WeDo 2.0. This means an eventual change in connectors from the current ones. You can read the discussion about it here:

Fantastic work on the tube routing, it's really well done. It gave your build a few extra points when I was picking my votes, I was really impressed with it. The rest of the build looks great, too - I think you managed to find a very sweet balance between functionality and looks.

I really like this build, it has a great shape and is instantly recognizable. Very good work!

10: 10 14: 6 16: 4 3: 3 23: 2 32: 1 ... and I have 10 other entries to which I'd like to assign points. Maybe we need to revisit the contest voting rules.

Thank you for the nice replies, they are very appreciated. I got the idea for this project at least a year ago, but I was planning to make it with Mindstorms. When the TC10 contest was announced, I figured it was a good opportunity to actually build it. I wasn't sure if the pneumatic version was going to be completed before the contest deadline, which is why I didn't post a WIP topic sooner. Most of the time was spent developing the cylider-powered control sticks, making sure that the range if motion was just right and that the different motions didn't interfere with each other. The other time consuming process was the development of the "joystick". It needed to be resistant to quick changes in orientation and had to control 5 different movements. The top layer has a controller for the sideways movement of each arm, the middle layer controls the up/down motion, one foot at a time and the lowest layer controls the raising and lowering of both arms. Controlling the marionette takes a bit of practice, but the learning curve was much shorter than I expected.

I see a lot of excellent entries for this contest, many of which deserve individual praise, but I don't want to bump 15+ topics tonight, so I'll just say this: job well done by all the participants.

Glad you managed to get it working. I noticed that the batteries in my build get worn down very quickly, maybe you were having the same issue with your MOC? Or maybe the compressor gave out...

17. Dancing Clone Trooper Description I made a dancing Clone Trooper. The strings are moved by pneumatic cylinders, which are controlled by a custom joystick. Controls: Each leg up/down, independent Each arm left/right, independent Both arms up/down Powered by two L motors, driving two small compressors. Two air tanks are incorporated to make the controls more responsive. The video shows much more than any description ever will. Discussion topic is here. Video Pictures

Very good solution, axles are much more durable than rubber or silicone components. I wouldn't worry too much about the legality of the build. Axles are meant to transfer torque, and Lego axles do not have the right cross section shape to resist deformation when they transfer a lot of torque. It's a shortcoming that's actually a blessing , as it allows for solutions like the one you have here.

Hi Grum, excellent progress on the Claas. The bonnet is very well designed, just the right amount of open spaces and enough curves to give it a very distinct shape. Pretty good description of the whole set, come to think of it.

Nice work, it's got a great shape and some nice details on it.

I expected a lot more padding inside the box. How much fixing do you have to do when it arrives?

DESCRIPTION This is a topic for sharing your tips on shooting and editing videos of your Technic creations. We have a similar topic for Technic Photography, and many of us know how to take and edit very nice pictures, but video brings additional challenges. You are invited to share tips for the following areas: Indoor light types (Fluorescent / LED / Tungsten / Halogen) Types of light diffusers (umbrella vs softbox) Camera types and settings Shooting angles and framing Additional equipment you use (microphones, dollies, handheld stabilizers, tripods) Ways to attach action cameras like GoPro to your models Video editing software Video editing tips Royalty-free music sources Any other tips to make videos better If possible, please show pictures of your setup and a video that was shot with it. The goal is to help others make better videos, so you can enjoy watching them. Thanks.

Fantastic build, I love all the functions you have in it. The remote flip was a nice surprise.

Beautiful! I love that the top is only supported by the moving parts.

According to this the rear suspension is independent trailing arms. The limited pictures on Google seem to confirm this.

Is there a reason why you are not putting independent suspension in the rear, or trailing arms like the real car? You seem to have the room and non-angled tires would look a lot better. By the way, this is the perfect car to reproduce in Lego. The original was plastic and what better material to use than Lego for its scaled model.

Yes, indeed. Sorry for the confusion - I misunderstood the request. I was under the impression that Sheldon wanted to create instructions from scratch, I'm guessing he just wants help with building your mod.

You can use Philo's MLCad file, it may already have steps in it (I haven't opened it, I'm on a mobile device). http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/48285-key-topic-official-lego-sets-made-in-ldraw/&do=findComment&comment=2648308 LDD has its applications but making instructions is not one of them. You need to get familiar with LDCad and/or MLCad to make proper instructions.
