Wow, clever use of the portal axles. I'm also impressed with the number of functions you packed in to this model.

Awesome job! This is quite impressive.

Isn't this par for the course? We are posting digital videos with zero DRM aside from maybe a watermark in the corner of the video or a title/credit screen with our name. It's trivial (although not right) for someone to grab a copy of it and re-upload it. There are two piece of good news here: you found the unauthorized copy and there is a mechanism for reporting these infractions. The waste of your time is the only real loss here. Given that the video still had your channel name in it, the additional views may actually be beneficial to you in the long run. You are still getting your name out there. I'm not trying to justify the copyright infringement, just saying it's unavoidable (I had the same thing happen a while ago). You've been handed a lemon, so make lemonade.

Sorry, I meant two pulleys attached between the machine and the leg instead of the single one you have now. They would keep the feet parallel to the ground and to the machine.

This is a pretty cool project. Have you considered two wheels per leg for the walking mechanism? It would eliminate the bobbing motion (unless that's how these beasts move in real life).

Happy New Year to you all.

Open them all. Get a bunch of Tupperware containers or bowls. Sort parts by colour (you can keep all axles and gears together). Leave panels in a separate pile. Stand back and enjoy the show. P.S. Awesome dad!

The gift that keeps on giving. Get better soon.

Haha the Three Wise Men are travelling in style!

Apologies with is has been asked already, but can you program the duration of an action?

Merry Christmas to everyone.

This is great, I always wondered if the gyro in a smart phone was sensitive enough to do the job. Any chance of seeing an Android app?

Here's a quick build of what andythenorth was talking about. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yV2IVbYxGi8/VJmQdfKeU5I/AAAAAAAAAnI/_y_r68HFnkA/s1600/IMG_20141223_105235.jpg I think you're better off with a beam on each side of the gear.

Maybe this will help: http://www.bartneck.de/2013/05/03/race2/ It's direct drive, but 6 motors may be strong enough to move your truck.

Very well done! The wheel choices are great.

The shock absorbers look rather stressed. You may want to space them out by another stud (half bushing per side).

Kudos to all the winners; very well done.

I'm not from there, but visited it 7 or 8 times. I liked San Francisco much better than Los Angeles. It's cleaner, prettier and has a lot to see: Lombard street, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Pier 39/Fisherman's Warf among others. It's also about an hour away from Napa and Sonoma valleys - they have very good wineries there (Francis Ford Coppola's is worth a visit), although it's very tourist-oriented. If you want a more authentic winery experience, head inland to Lodi Valley. It will probably take three to four days to fit all this in. Los Angeles has Disneyland, the Walk of Fame, the Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood sign, and a few neighbourhoods like Beverly Hills that you can drive through to see some fancy houses - although a lot of them have 20 foot-high shrubs surrounding them. The problem with Los Angeles is that it is huge and its points of interest are separated by some very dull sections and incessant traffic. It's still worth a visit if you're not planning on coming back to the area, but you can fit everything into two days. Speaking of revisiting, if you're not going to be back for a while, I suggest driving out to Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Both show off some very impressive construction in terms of size. If you don't gamble, there are plenty of shows to pick from in Vegas. Expect a lot of driving, as none of these places are close to each other. Traffic is a big problem in most of California, so plan extra time for travel. Enjoy the trip.

They're pretty slippery compared to the compound used for most Technic tires. I use them to avoid scratches on the bricks and wood surfaces, but they don't improve traction on smooth surfaces by much.

This is a very good looking model. I think the steering could be a bit sharper to mimic real fork lifts, but I'm not sure if you can do that with the hubs you are using. Great work and a very nice video, too.

Yes, those are his trains. I tried to figure out the logistics of moving and setting up this display and it gave me a headache. It's an impressive setup. I was there on Sunday as well, in the morning. It was much busier than I thought it would be. Your photo folder is marked private for now, by the way.

Another vote for this. It's one of my favourite sets in terms of useful parts.

I went to the Brickfête exhibit in Ottawa today and took some pictures. They can be found here. Thanks to everyone who exhibited for their great creations.

Do stickers count as parts? And I can't for the life of me identify the cylindrical part located below the yellow panels.
