Technic Jim

I know, butI think that is kind of cheating and I would prefer to have actual, real life versions of the shields

I've recently set up my own photo shoot with a sheet of A1, white paper; a point & shoot Nikon L18 and a Anglepoise lamp. I then touch the pictures up a bit in a photo editing software called Cyberlink Power Director 3. I'm quite pleased with the quality but I think that I could do with a brighter and whiter light. What do you think?

Hello all, I don't normally post here but I recently bought a Nexo Knights set number 70312, Lance's Mecha horse. It came with the tractor beam shield which I have upgraded four times. I got three free shields in the game, but I think I would benefit from having more. So my question is, what shields should I buy off of bricklink; are there any really good shields which are worth buying or any really awful ones that would just be a waste of money? Thanks a lot, Jim

I just fall backwards off my chair!

You can use it in a clock as demonstrated by people such as Nico71

It is starting to look really good and a bit recognisable! Good work

I think that this perfectly sums up my opinion as well!

Wow! That is an amazing build fro an amazing car. Great work!

I would just like to put a post here to say that as of today we have 56 replies to the survey which is great in helping us make our project as good as possible. So please, if you haven't completed the survey, it would be really helpful. Thanks very much, Fuzzy Logic

I think that there are some black ones in 42056 Porsche. I don't know how expensive they'll be though; it will depend on the availability of the set.

In terms of B-Models what do we have. Looking at the promobricks facebook ( ) we have a Volvo L30G for 42053, A Claas Xerion with silage plough for 42054, A industrial sorter which actually sort Lego bricks by size (presumably a hole wich some pieces drop through but others don't) for 42055 and what for 42056; will there even be one? Who knows? And my opinions: 42053-A small, cool lokking sets withpneumatic V2, great! 42054-Cool wheels but pointless crane. 42055-Huge and cheap if the rumoured prices are real. 42056-Intriguing!

Does that say 3927 pieces! Geez, I thought it was only 3000

Hello all, Firstly, I would like to apologise about the text wall - I got a bit carried away I am writing here on behalf of a FLL (First Lego League-there website address is http://www.firstlegoleague.org/) team I am part of called Fuzzy Logic. For those of you who do not know what FLL is, it is a Lego Robotics competition for school children. There are four parts to winning the competition and they are as follow 1: Robot performance The robot you build has to be a Lego Mindstorms one (it doesn't matter what generation) and it will perform on a mat with various different challenges on. The more challenges you complete, the more points you get. 2: Robot Design This category is about how well built the robot is and what functions it has as well as how innovative it is 3: Core values How well you wok together as a team and with other teams 4: The project The project will be set around a pre decided topic which is decided by First, the people who run the FLL. This year the theme was trash and I will be talking about that later All of these aspects will be individually judged and you will be given an overall score. If you are the highest in your region (for Fuzzy Logic this is the south West) you will go through to the nationals that are to be held in Loughborough this year. We won our regional area along with a team called Tech HEds (I don't know if they post here but if they do, Hello!). So that means that on 21st of February we will be heading up to Loughborough to compete head-to-head with the 39 other best teams in the UK. Whoever wins that will go through to the internationals that are held in America as a representative for the UK. So what is the meaning of the post, I hear you ask and this is it: We would like some help with our project. Our project is called the Net Bag. It is a small, orange bag designed to replace the plastic grocery bags you get in shops. I'll explain it briefly here but there will (should!) be a PowerPoint explaining it more thoroughly attached to this post. EDIT: It turns out I can't upload a PowerPoit but if you do want to see it, PM me you email address and I will email it to you. The Net Bag uses less plastic than the normal one because it is a net and will be made from recycled plastic from the oceans. It is possible to make these, we have tried by shredding up, extruding and then weaving recycled plastic offcuts from our DT department at school. We came up with the idea because we looked at some plastic bag figures and realised how much we are drowning in plastic; we use 5 trillion plastic bags yearly for instance! We also looked at the 5p plastic bag charge and saw how that had created an 80% decrease in plastic bag usage at Tesco! However, the plastic vegetable bags are still free so people are stealing them (we have video evidence to prove this. The Net bag is a good alternative because safe for young children and very strong and long lasting along with other things. That basically sums up the Net bag but you should read the PowerPoint for more information. If you can't open it just tell me. The bit we would like your help with is an online SurveyMonkey we would like you to fill in to gather customer research about the Net Bag. The address is https://www.surveymo...co.uk/r/netbags and it would be really helpful if you could fill it in and tell others about it so we can get more balanced results and good publicity. The survey is self explanatory but if you have any problems please contact me via PM or the comment. Thank you for helping us and for reading that text wall but hopefully it will be worth it. If you have any ideas or suggestions please comment and leave any other feedback. Thanks again, Jim and the rest of Fuzzy Logic

Cheers

I like the use of expert builder gears as sprockets-very innovative

It almost looks like it is worth starting a totally new topic for the WeDo to explain it to people who, like me, have no idea what it is or what it can do.

I think the ultimate IP car is actually TLG trolling us with a bubble car! Seriously though, are we expecting a new range of RC motors. The PF system has been out since 2008 (is this right?) and compard to other remote control car motors, is a little bit rubbish.

or a zero offset wheel.

Looks really cool! Probably one of the best Arocs mods I've seen yet!

How would drive be achieved? Would the wheel have some sort of universal joint pre-attached?

I've noticed that a few people have been talking about a relationship between set numbers and their size/functions. I'm sorry to be rude but is there actually any correlation, or is it just coincidence?

It is amazing to see how many different ways this machine has been made and, to be honest, this solution is the most imaginative and innovative I have seen; Good work

Some sort of plough?

I was looking at the actual Technic products page: http://www.lego.com/...echnic/products EDIT: I've just played around with the html and if you go to the US page (http://www.lego.com/en-us/technic/products) you get the four smaller sets listed (42044/5/6/7)
