    Thank you @Mr Hobbles for the insightful comment. As more details emerge, I feel Lego is coming out with a wonderful set of new electronics hardware. Lego's software has never been great ... hence the complex software, acronyms, and marketing names for the various products is not surprising. The smaller children and younger teens will probably stick to one kind of product, like boost, but the older kids and adults will try to mix and match. For the latter a "real" programming language like python will be absolutely great. And it will work irrespective of which hardware is being used ! I am looking forward to the emergence of this potentially great ecosystem. It will unleash a new wave of creative and ingenious creations. I believe Lego will do great service if they formally support the various open source efforts by fans. They can help in various ways like finance, hosting multi platform test frameworks etc.

    I will highly recommend building something from a photo sequence. It's a lot more fun than the overly simplified "one brick per step" Lego instructions. I really wish Lego was making "difficult" instructions so that the builder would have to think a lot harder in each step. Over time Lego have simplified the instructions to the point that following them has now become boring.

    Great idea !! Would love to see a few more photos, especially the belly shot.

    If @Mr Hobbles is right, then all the new wave electronics will be compatible with each other ! I think that's really powerful ! I will not mind the missing compatibility with old PF in that case. My only request to Lego is to keep an interface with regular computers also. Some things are hard with phones and tablets.

    Wow, this is nice. Making the cargo plane from hovercraft parts ... Great idea and great execution. Apart from the extra LAs, which other parts did you need ?

    Great truck ! Looks mean and tough. Surely deserves a video

    Beautiful vehicle. Looks simple at first, but then I noticed how the shape has been created just so using careful selection of parts. I know you mentioned in another thread that you will not make instructions since you don't like building digitally. But how about making instructions in the style of Madoca or Amaman (sequence of photos). You can perhaps take a few pictures while disassembling. Much more of a fun challenge to build from those than the over simplified "one brick at a time" Lego instructions. Of course this assumes the kids will let you disassemble it . May not happen soon since I suspect this will be too much fun for the kids !

    A true tribute to @dokludi will be to reproduce the full truck from one picture from one angle (No cheating looking at other pictures or the video)

    I find it funny that the purists who scoff disdainfully at such modifications are largely silent about sbrick, buwizz etc.

    What a beast ! It uses class tires as the smaller wheels ! I loved the first picture with so many gears. But I do have one concern. The axles for a lot of gears are braced only on one side. That might not be so good for such a large model.

    So many functions in a small truck !! Just amazing ! And now it looks the part. I would love to build this. I agree with the wheels comment though. Regular tyres instead of balloons may look better.

    Loved the creative rear transmission. I would have never thought of it !
  13. iLego
    Wow, really nice !! Looks stunning, especially in the first three photos.

    Sounds good

    Given that all entries are great in some way or the other, I feel all should be given a token prize for participation.

    I think you are right. And I am happily wrong. And we are going to get a great set

    I am afraid that is not a strong design. When the car is raised, the full weight of the rear-end will be acting on a single tooth of the 8t gear (which is connected to the worm gear). Accidentally putting weight on the car while playing may damage the 8t gear. I hope my assessment is wrong.

    Very nice looking MOC, with lot of nice details ! Your hesitation in presenting this was not at all justified Photos are also very good. Only video is missing. I am sure XL motors driving these wheels via a portal hub will give it a lot of oomph. Should be fun to play with.

    Wow, what a machine !! Making such a complex mechanism work smoothly with Lego plastic is surely an amazing achievement. Did you have to use any lubrication ? Also, I was curious how you achieved air insulation. I had tried building a water fountain from Lego and the water was leaking all over because of the small gaps between bricks. I suppose getting air insulation will be much harder.

    Oh my gosh, this suddenly landed out of nowhere. Stealth biplane Definitely one of the best looking entries. Needs a demonstration of the functions and how they work to do full justice to the model ! There are a few other entries which have fantastic functions. The functions demo will help this model compete better.

    What a nice looking truck. Great functions for the scale also. I think the belly shot photo is mandatory for such builds . I suppose the scale will also keep the part count in check. I wish Lego was offering more sets in this scale.

    Thanks for the tip. It seems amazingly fast and effective !
  23. iLego
    I suppose you mean removing the print on the white wheel arches. Yes, we want to know more about it !
  24. iLego
    It's outrageous that Lego allows minifig heads to be decapitated (i.e remove head from body) !! One can even put 2, 3 or more heads on the body ! Kids can attach pants the wrong way around and giggle ! Sorry for joking. I don't mean to undermine your feelings or your topic, but just want to illustrate that inappropriateness depends a lot on context and perspective. We, as a society, should take things in a stride and avoid being oversensitive. In fact, learn from the kids. They are hardly ever judgemental or critical. They just go with the flow and have fun.

    What an amazing journey ! The machine is incredible !
