I bought 4 but have yet to figure out what do use them for. Its been a bit slow on the technic prototyping building the last months

I did a test with 2x2 plate modified and after the initial deformation of the top stud, nothing happened to the actual plate. So the plate configuration will tolerate above 5000N with is the limit of our current load cell. Regarding the UV-testing I actually have access to one . The problem is that its running a outdoor test at the moment but sometime next year we will run a indoor simulation and then I can do a complete test of different colors and materials if there is any demand for it.

Here are the results from test 2. I think that test point 3 in the first graph is a non-LEGO brand brick. One interesting reflection is that its not that easy to calculate the maximum height of the tower. Although the maximum force the brick can withstand is ~4400N it has deformed ~2,2mm at that time. That's almost 20% of the bricks height.For an accurate height you have to look at each individual brick and determine how much weight its subjected to and subtract the corresponding deformation,

I did a similar test today at work. I have attached data and pictures. As you can see the studs are pressed in to the brick and then i collapses. Tomorrow I´ll retest with a tile on top and a plate on the bottom. (I had to make the images really small due to the 100kb attachment limit)

This is way beyond playing with LEGO, this is art! As the-game mentioned its hard to see its LEGO at first. And also I think the drive speed is perfect, when LEGO models are driven to fast I think they look odd. At this speed you can almost feel the power of the truck.

I'm currently working on a pin sorter and have managed to see difference between Light Grey and Light Bluish Grey so these balls should not be a problem for you. But to achieve this you need to run NXT Education software or RobotC, normal NXT software cant use the raw Red/Green/Blue values that is needed for any kind of advanced color recognition.

Or Pin Connector Perpendicular, cant post the URL since I´m new here

Same here, first project and 4 plates. I really hope this kicks off. A perfect part for prototyping and Technic baseplate. What happens if the project get like 90% funding when the time ends? Are they disqualified to continue or can they decide to go trough anyways? I´m wondering because there may be more people like me that could pledge a bit more money if the project stands or falls with these extra pledges.

Wow, this is one impressive piece of machinery, can´t wait to see how this develops
