Generic Contest Discussion
suffocation replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Ha, true I guess I was thinking more along the lines of "hey, my tow truck's got a built-in turd slinger", which wouldn't really count as a sensible function - unless the voter's got a sick sense of humour -

It's Technic. Why not keep the size limit (e.g. 40x30x20 or whatever) and have one of the decisive voting parameters be the number of sensible functions crammed in, regardless of the type of machine? -
Love it! I've always been fascinated by scissor lifts ever since I first saw them as B models for 853 and 8860.

[WIP] Crawler Crane
suffocation replied to gvo25's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks great! As for the flex in the undercarriage, I think a 42100-based design would be tougher. I used a modified version for my two cranes and found it can easily hold 4 kg without the slightest bend. See the last three pics here. Worm-gear drivetrains are best left for really light models, otherwise you gain more friction than torque. I used four motors here but two would be plenty, as is the 6.7:1 reduction. See wip pics here.- 33 replies

[WIP] Crawler Crane
suffocation replied to gvo25's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks really good and I love the 42055-ish colour scheme The only - very minor - tweak I'd suggest would be to extend the tracks by half a dozen studs or so.- 33 replies

I love this because it's awesome and because it reminds me of Eighties Lego -
