    Awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to that. Did you build in AWD and suspension as well?

    Sorry for uploading them a little bit late - You find the pictures in the same link. Happy building!

    Hey abhilego I'll do them tomorrow in the afternoon! That's great! Good luck at building your own Tumbler! Cheers :) Thanks dude! :) Hey kamsohal It isn't based on any model - just my imagination :) Greetz

    Hey abhilego Of course I can! :) As it's already evening here, the light was very bad in the house. I hope they are good enough for "what you need" - or I will make some tomorrow. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=70C2CE3E3CD6C319!8051&authkey=!AMTdGFNkzMOutks&ithint=folder%2cjpg Have a nice evening

    That's what I thought too! Thank you very much! Hey aeh504 Thank you for the comment :) Yeah it's a shame that they don't have the flex system anymore.. for example the new cargo plane would be even more impressive with some flex cables.. I didn't really experiment with the drivetrain - I just didn't want any crackling gears. I could try to build in 2 XL-motors connencted with a another differential for more power and change the gear ratio. (The Tumbler is still in existence) Currently I'm building a loom for a school project so I don't have too much time for that Have a nice evening! :) Thanks!

    Now that's what I call a beauty of an offroad pick-up! Thumbs up!

    Well they aren't all "real" Technic sets but: 8653: Enzo Ferrari -> The very best design for a Lego Technic super car. (my opinion) 8458: Silver Champion -> such a smooth symbiosis between studless and studded parts. 8466: 4x4 Offroader -> My childhood dream - I'm so happy that I bought one a year ago 8110: Unimog -> I think it's the only vehicle that has some advanced functions besides its 4x4 drivetrain 8880: Super Car -> First real Lego 4x4 with suspension? Or am I wrong? :D

    Hey Majkl Only the Silver Champion and F1 Ferrari are from ebay. The others were bought from the online market "ricardo". It's like ebay but only in Switzerland and old sets are sometimes reeeaally cheap to get.;)
  9. swisstechnic
    The combination of steampunk design with technic functions is sooo cool! :)

    8466 4x4 Offroader: 35 € (dusty, but all the parts were there and not UV-damaged 8448 Super Car together with 8880 Super Car: 60 € (8448 only the roadster version, not with extra parts - like new) 8458 Silver Champion: 50 € (saw one going away for 28 €, but my internet lagged.. very dusty but after washing good condition) 8674 1:8 Ferrari F1: 38 € (dusty, good condition) 8653 Enzo Ferrari: 60 € (dusty, good condition) 8145 599 GTB Fiorano: 70 € (like new) I think these are pretty much all my older sets, collected in the last three years.

    Very nice! Probably the smallest 4x4 that I've ever seen! :)

    Hey Goldvillage Yeah I haven't focused on the crane, it's really weak. I'll have to build my own. But why "no" functions? I would be satisfied enough if it only had the four chains with suspension. Seems cool enough to me. (Which other sets combine suspension with functions? Except super cars) And about the motorized functions: I think everyone has some RC elements - we don't need hundreds of motors.. so you just have to figure out how to build them in.. maybe that's what TLG wants.

    Hey DrJB Yes, it's inspired by his milling machine! Especially the unique frame and his idea of using the rotate-cylinders for the driller (move up/down). But it was only some inspiration, the gears and stuff works different.:)
  14. swisstechnic
    I don't get some opinions here. That's what I think about these sets: 42038: Doesn't it look awesome? Something totally different compared to all the other sets we had in the past 20 years. The suspension looks badass too. Perhaps it's possible to build it with AWD. 42039: Looks really good, but I think nothing will ever beat the F1 sets like Silver Champiom, BMW and 1:8 Ferrari. 42032: Totally shocked me. Never knew that it's possible to realease a set which is that ugly.. can't understand the hype on that. 42037: Looks very cool! All the colours, the suspension links (that you normally get in 80$+ sets) and it's design seem quite unique to me. Front and the motor could have been done a little better.. And all the other sets are "normal" to me.. Greetz

    Haha thank you! :) You mean teenagers? thanks!

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for embedding the video! How can I do this? :)
  19. swisstechnic
    .Thanks for the tips! I think the driller isn't the problem, and I've used it because it's all the way sharp not like an endmill. Yes I think so too, that he sends the coordinates directly to the NXT. But I I'm sorry that I haven't any idea how this could work. Perhaps the link from bitbang helps.:) (Video is now online) Hey Bitbang thanks for the support! I'll have a look at it as soon as possible. (film is now online) Greetz

    This was a project for the science week at my highschool We have to share our results of the science week on a webpage, so I decided that Eurobricks could be a good choice. About us We are a group of four people, around 16 years old. Nobody of us has a lot of experience at programming, but we all tried to give our best. I, Swisstechnic, know how to build a stable CNC milling machine out of LEGO, but it would be impossible for me to do the whole programming part. Huge thanks to my mates! The Construction I've already made a construction of a CNC-milling machine some weeks ago, but I never had the motivation to start programming it. The design of our milling machine is inspired by Arthur Sacek's on youtube, which impressed us a lot. It uses for each axle a touch sensor to calculate the driller's position. Because of the huge battery waste, we ran the NXT directly via a transformer, as well as the Power Functions M motor for the driller. Drilling Material The grey Material is a flower foam, which is quite blowy and easy to drill through. The driller is the only party that isn't LEGO. Programming We've used the BricxCC Command Center. I think you can all imagine that the coolest thing would be if you could just take a 3D object (from Blender/CAD) and directly calculate it's positions how it should move etc.. There is a way to do this with "G-Code" that you can generate, but we all had no idea how to use this in the BricxCC Command Center. That's why it was quite hard to program objects with curves, such as a circles or cosinus/sinus curvers. Straight objects are easy. This is the code for one cosine curve: #define GESCH 35 #define VERSCH 3 int durchgang; float tiefe; sub fahren(){ RotateMotor(OUT_A,GESCH,-2620); RotateMotor(OUT_B,GESCH,VERSCH); RotateMotor(OUT_C,GESCH,tiefe); durchgang ++; RotateMotor(OUT_A,GESCH,2620); RotateMotor(OUT_B,GESCH,VERSCH); RotateMotor(OUT_C,GESCH,tiefe); durchgang ++; } task main () { while(durchgang<=360) { if (durchgang>0) { tiefe = ((1-cos(durchgang*PI/180)-(1-cos((durchgang-1)*PI/180)))*1928); fahren(); } else { tiefe = ((1-cos(durchgang*PI/180))*1928); fahren(); } } } It takes the milling machine around 1,5 hours for the cosinus curve. If someone knows how to handle G-Code with the BricxCC Command Center for a milling machine like ours, we all would be really thankful! Perhaps I'll upload a youtube film. (I can't post more images, I'll try it later)

    Honestly, I've never built a model with the new panels because I try to keep all my sets together for my shelves (Unimog, Crawler, Supercar, 41999, Crane MKII) I would say the old panels are better for sport cars... ...and the new panels for offroaders and trucks because they are more straight/angled. = I like both of them.
  22. swisstechnic
    Stoked! That engine looks too fantastic! Very very nice models!
  23. swisstechnic
    I didn't even know about this piece, very interesting. And for shure a very nice detailed car!
  24. swisstechnic
    Lol thank you! :) I would say they could have built in at least a working steering..:/ Thank you so much!
  25. swisstechnic
    Thank you all!
