    I suppose it's the weight ratio of public votes vs staff votes . Which means we can still win.

    Nice c-model! I like the position of the front springs a lot. Would like to see a video.

    That would be very cool!

    Maybe splitting the Technic and Scale modeling forums could not only be a reason for having separate HoFs, but could also be a trigger for having more pure Technic mocs in the Technic HoF and in some cases also on the front page. I don't want to complain or brag, but pure Technic models like my rugged supercar and Attika's 8880 Evo currently have a hard time finding their way to either HoF or front page. After splitting the Technic modeling HoF and the Scale modeling HoF, the Technic HoF could be more of a mix of technically advanced models and good-looking Technic models. Imo it would be nice if a very advanced gearbox or a chassis-only model could also end up in the Technic HoF.

    +2 It has been suggested before.

    Someone took photo instructions of one of my mocs from rebrickable and made a video of them without any reference. Is this legal?

    If you could somehow control the lever - in the setup below - with a geared down motor output and have ain between the motor and the axle driving the lever, then I guess it should work. The lever need not return for a shift to finish. Returning the lever could be the start of a later countershift.

    You can obtain caster angle by inclining the entire front suspension. But I suppose you are referring to camber angle. The Nomad has active / dynamic / progressive camber: progressing negative camber when the suspension compresses and progressing positive camber when the suspension expands. This will keep the wheels more straight up in turns - with the tires closer to flat on the ground that is. In a double wishbone setup, active camber can be obtained by having non-parallel wishbones, with increasing space between the wishbones towards the wheels. This is often combined with a longer lower wishbone, but that's not crucial. You can see the Nomad's non-parallel setup very well here: If you mount the wishbones to the chassis with two studs in between them (and one stud between them at the wheel hub side), you'll get the opposite of active camber: progressing positive camber when the suspension compresses and progressing negative camber when the suspension expands. That would be very odd imo.

    Makes me happy too ! It took a long time for my rugged supercar as well. In the mean time several models were added almost instantly. I guess patience is a virtue in this matter.

    It's a brave thing to be this open about tough times . I hope the future is bright for you. The Sherp looks awesome! The drive train with all these clutch gears is not very elegant, but apparently it was your best option - with the least friction - given the space you had.

    I worked out some ideas for a foldaway bunk bed I want to make. I'm still tinkering on how to add a spring to help lift the beds and keep them up.

    In my perception one of the coolest vehicles on the planet! I hope you succeed in replicating the rigidity of the orange cage structure, so it actually serves as a cage.
  13. Didumos69
    Yea, me in particular, haha. I reckoned the staff members already voted.

    Oops, sorry. Didn't realize that.

    @LvdH, thanks for your points! It seems you have given points to 15. twice in your ranking. It would be a pitty if your points would not be valid .

    One-minute pitch With its wacky turning feature and inclined V4 engine, this vehicle is extremely fast and highly manoeuverable. A perfect fit for a race in an urban area. Don't forget this contest is in fact a race held in LEGO City. This race-cart finds its way through the mess created by its large and heavy opponents, without giving in on speed. And like with real ants, a Fire Ant never comes alone. Their determination and willingness to serve fellow ants that stand a better chance to win, will drive other contestants even more nuts than they already are . And to make the ant analogy complete: this model consists of three segments: The head - With its steering controlled head lights pointing into each and every turn, the front section makes sure the driver won't miss a thing and allows him to anticipate unexpected situations. The thorax - The driver section, which tilts in turns, compensates for the centrifugal force the driver is exposed to. An experienced driver can make the car turn by moving his weight into the turn. The abdomen - Equipped with a V4 engine, inclined to ensure optimal lubrication under acceleration g-forces, the rear section gives the car enough power to stay ahead of all of its opponnents. Admit it, you want to ride this animal!

    This is what we call incitement . Be careful what you write, you don't want to get a (real) stop sign from staff members at this stage, although you could use one .

    I like the end result too. It looks very finished, the functions all work well and the seats-dropping-out feature gives a very nice absurdist twist to it. You're on my shortlist. Btw, your stop sign does not in fact say stop .

    This is my final entry text : One-minute pitch With its wacky turning feature and inclined V4 engine, this vehicle is extremely fast and highly manoeuverable. A perfect fit for a race in an urban area. Don't forget this contest is in fact a race held in LEGO City. This race-cart finds its way through the mess created by its large and heavy opponents, without giving in on speed. And like with real ants, a Fire Ant never comes alone.

The abdomen - Equipped with a V4 engine, inclined to ensure optimal lubrication under acceleration g-forces, the rear section gives the car enough power to stay ahead of all of its opponnents. Admit it, you want to race this animal! Base features Rear wheel drive Working steering wheel Working fake V4 Adjustable rear-spoiler Wacky feature Turning mechanism which offers 4-wheel steering and makes the driver section tilt in turns. It works like this: The driver steers the front section using the steering wheel. Steering the front section makes the driver section tilt, which in turn makes the rear section counter-steer. More qualities High manoeuverability. The turning feature combines excellent road-holding with a very small turning circle. Straight line stability. The front and rear segments are stablized with silicon bands to keep the car straight. Everything in-system. All inclined constructs rely on perfect fits derived from the Pythagorean triple (3, 4, 5). Kid-proof. Each of the three segments has been build with a high level of form-locking. Nothing will fall off.

    Thanks @Blakbird! Yes, the principle is very similar, I thinks it's even more simple with the axles being solid. But this one has a working steering wheel, so the imaginary driver should be able to steer by himself. I finalized the text in the entry topic.
