    I can't agree more. Contests are meant to be challenging and something new, that why restrictions are good.
  2. Epic Technic
    Silly me Should there be a minimum percentage of pieces from the A model used for the B model or not?
  3. Epic Technic
    In was wondering if we could be allowed to have an extra few pieces for the B model so that it could be of an A model quality ?

    Aww, I guess we now need to think inside the box! :p I think that this is a great contest and I have multiple ideas of what to build. EDIT: I was wondering if there was a 2 week wait before all WIPs ?

    Oh patents and China! Honestly, they don't even look that good, definitely not up to TLG's standards.
  6. Epic Technic
    I would say both the A and B models.

    So as some of you might of seen me comment in the technic general discussion that I was wondering if anyone had ever made a lego 3 axis gimbal. I couldn't find any so I designed one myself in LDD. I had to do it in LDD because I don't own an EV3 nor three gyro sensors. It works by counter acting the motion of the gyro sensors with the motors. This design would be fit for a GoPro or another action cam. It was rendered with Bluerender, it's an LDD rendering software that was created by a fellow EB member. The camera would be attached on the grey section. The LDD file is can be downloaded here. I can make instructions if someone would like them. I would be very great-full if someone would build. Thanks, (PLEASE BUILD IT )

    Has anyone one ever built a working 3 axis gimbal out of lego? I wanted to record stable videos and thought that the gyro sensor for the ev3 coul see help make a good gimbal.

    I was wondering if this project was still going on or not?

    Anyone know what IP could mean for the ultimate IP car? Could it be some of these? -Internet protocol -Interesting person -iPerson ;) -Injured person -Intellectual property I would say it's probably the last one. We're getting a 'Smart' car guys, How good is that ? Though I hope it's not this type of Smart car:

    Wow! A true master piece like usual. :thumbup:

    Not amazing RPM but it's possible. I would highly recommend opening your cylinders and replacing the grease with some better type of lubricant, even plain old vegetable oil works well for me.
  13. Epic Technic
    Yay! I got first place at the bottom of the list! :grin: Congratulations to the winners and all the contestants!

    Well, bricks are 1.5 studs tall so it shouldn't really matter, plus this is a technic competition so it should be easier because technic beare 1x1xlength studs long. If we are going the cm or inches, I would not use inches since only three countries officially use it, therefore the rest of the world might have trouble finding an inch ruler.

    I just can't figure out which of these master pieces I like the best, I don't think I'll ever make up my mind.

    As I said in the OP, I was inspired and got the ideas from Slewentogzz ;) I sadly only have offroad wheels but don't let the size of my weight confuse you its just a few metal magnet balls, it actually weighs about the same as a weighted brick, its just that I don't have one available. Guys you should remember that SLEWENTOGZZ is the true genius behind the steering.
  17. Epic Technic
    Thanks all of you guys!

    So I have always wanted to build a RC motorcycle but didn't know how to, until YouTuber Slewentogzz showed two working designs. I built it Friday the 13th in one long afternoon. It isn't modeled after anything special, it was mainly an experiment with building a bodied rc motorcycle. This is my second working design. It uses a weight that is shifted from side to side for the steering with free to move front forks. The video doesn't make itself justice; they do work, it's just that it's difficult to control and film; you have to build one yourself. Functions: -propulsion - Buggy motor -steering - servo -battery box - AAA box -receiver - PF IR v1 (this servo didn't work with my v2) -full suspension The video: Some pictures: I hope you like it!

    Well, don't have a foot pump, I only have a handheld bicycle pump that definitely does not get to 100 psi very easily.
  20. Epic Technic
    That's actually a very good idea, thanks. It gives me the idea that the can could be built inside a car and there would be a throttle system to let air out. Was your LPE modified, and did it use the new or old style switches ? How long did one spray can last you? I have tried but it doesn't get at a very high pressure, nor does it run for very long. If you want a bunch of pneumatics, buy the 8455 from bricklink, though it does cost around $140.

    It finally worked with a 24t-20t-24t gear combination and a 'front panel thing'. The next issue is that even my four LEGO hand pumps aren't enough to get it rotating at a decent rpm. I need to find a method to get high air pressures, however, I do not have access to an air compressor, nor dry ice. Any help is appreciated
  22. Epic Technic
    Yes if I recall correctly, the drag racer (I think that's the correct name ) will have two as the back tires.
  23. Epic Technic
    I dont have that many chains :( I know, I am going to make a front 'plate thingy' for it then try.
  24. Epic Technic
    No space inside but I could easily build an extra front panel and it would do the same. Thanks!
  25. Epic Technic
    Sadly all of the 24t-20t-24t; 20t-24t-20t; 8t-36t-8t; and 36t-8t-36t just slip when I try them. Though an idea just popped up in my mind, what if I had a 24t-20t-24t then a chain around it. Could it better distribute the forces? But first I need to find a few more chain links in my big box of LEGOs (it might take some time ).
