    Sorry for the dumb question, still discovering the community. Is the meeting open to all Eurobricks members, or is there any other conditions to join? Thanks

    +1, upload and link desired size, fast and easy (although I screwed up the folder structure the first time ) Is anyone planning to do instructions for efferman's amazing creations?

    I'd love to go being only two hours away but unfortunately I'm not a registered trade professional, so I count on you Jim!

    Hi Ben, The instruction generator is actually online. You just need to upload the model to your private baseplate (which then stays under your copyright) and you can then get the instructions from there via your Web browser, under My Baseplate. It works well actually. My only complain which I posted on their Stud.io forum is the inability to try it prior to upload, through the software. The handling of sub-model is well done as well, easy to go in and out groups. Overall, I like the software, still a couple of issues, especially for Technic Build, but a lot of neat functions (tab key for part browser, color filter, used colors in model, favourite parts, Bricklink integration) I agree, very promising!

    Indeed, that's the main reason I jumped on it, this will go in the parts collection

    Just scored 8048, used but in new condition, built, no box or instructions, for 5€ on a Fleamarket.

    Awesome, what a nice and cute design, my kid loves it. The steering is what sets it apart for me. It gives great playability. Merry Christmas.

    Awesome, great idea! Merry Christmas!

    Fully agree as well, I like the ease of use and flexibility of the Arduino platform. A good bridge between the board and LEGO such as this project is a day one purchase for me. So many automation possibilities become available. Smart sensors would be required afterwards though (color, RFID) to really enable cool creations. On the other hand, I understand LEGO 's approach with Mindstorms being targeted mainly at kids/education, function blocks are I believe easier to understand when you begin programming. You can also open your Mindstorms to Python or other languages. The main issue for me is the limited number of interfaces per brick and associated cost, compare to Arduino platforms.

    I meant like those for example on this page http://www.fargocontrols.com/sensors.html Although mechanical switch will be more cost effective and sufficient, other sensor types can open different possibilities.
  11. Minique85
    Yes, this is an option, or even a capacitive sensor would be another option. I find the EV3 switch very bulky. something compact and cost effective would be great.

    This is really interesting. I've been looking for an arduino to PF motor adapter (shield) that would not require rewiring as well as an encoder feedback. This way you could use the PF motor you want, control it from the arduino and getting the necessary feedback from the encoder to handle acceleration and relative positions. A simple switch (for end position detection) would be great too for zeroing your axis.

    This is a really nice model, well executed. I like the cabin and lights details, also the shape of the rear mudguard is a nice change.
  14. Minique85
    Thanks a lot anyway, it's great that you took the time to share the instructions already. It is a lot of work to put together. I saw your MOC on Rebrickable today and had a look at the PDF, the pictures are very clear and it looks good
  15. Minique85
    This is a really beautiful model, very detailed yet full of functions. It's really great to see this type of machinery rendered in LEGO. The whole thing in three weeks, speechless . Really cool
  16. Minique85
    Definitely thanks for the time, effort and support throughout the contest. Looking forward to see the next one!
  17. Minique85
    Very nice little MOC, clean design and functions. I second that instructions this way seems to be a lot of work. LDraw and LPub would be faster, although there is a learning curve the first time, but worth it. Stud.io could be another interesting option once it is released (beta is promising)
  18. Minique85
    A really nice build, I love the steering mechanism and tilting combination, it looks really smooth and fast. Great video as well!
  19. Minique85
    hi @dr_spock, Do you have some pictures of the changes made to the battery box? I also have a bunch and would like to get away from batteries. Thank you.
  20. Minique85
    This is a great model, thanks a lot for the LDD, I'm looking forward to put it together once I gather all the parts! What about posting it on Rebrickable?
  21. Minique85
    This is an excellent and ingenious model. I tried to build much simpler models and was surprised with the complexity of dealing with jamming and balls that decide to jump off. So the reliability seems really good, and the motor safety mechanism is super cool. Great job on the video as well.
  22. Minique85
    Congratulations to the winners! I'm quite happy with the result for a first time, especially with all the fantastic entries. It was a great experience and I learned a lot, looking forward to the next one!
  23. Minique85
    Same on Sony with Android, also in town forum and the issue comes and goes, only for the next and previous pages for me though.
  24. Minique85
    That's a really nice C model, good idea to turn official sets in GBC modules. For the balls, I used the "Quercetti Marbles Refill 100 pieces" as recommended on planet GBC. Really good price to get started and works well.
  25. Minique85
    And one more on the to do list from you. I am really impressed by the speed and really want to see it going in front of me. Once again many thanks for sharing the instructions!
