    I drove one once... was fun bot not really impressive This on the other hand definitely looks fun!

    looks great! Go BIG or go home!

    here is a list but its not on there...

    The design is VERY loosely based upon the common EOD robot's, and then I just improved wherever I could. To be honest, I got a bit stuck... I wanted more functions, but aside from what I put on this robot, what can you add to it that's actually functional? Haha, nope! It's actually quite manageable, I use my 8,4 inch tablet.

    I made a massive LEGO technic bomb defusal robot with 19 motors and 6 SBrick's! I've actually seen an EOD robot defuse an IED and the live saving job they do in army's and police forces around the world has always fascinated me, so I decided to build one! I love complex robotics, but to build something like this in lego technic proved to be a challenge! I really wanted to use the 2 interlocking geared rings as a basis for the 2 main arms, but that scaled up the size of this MOC drastically. To be able to power every lego power functions motor and sbrick I ended up using 5 lego PF battery boxes! I have to admit the addition of the electromagnet does not add a whole lot to the build, I just had it laying around and still had 2 free channels on my 6th SBrick :-P What do you guys think?

    Clean and minimalistic! I love it!

    Well... I did not give permission but I guess the use is okay... Still, weird to accidentally stumble upon my own work edit: They did link to the original video in the description.

    Very good! I'm more of a "technically complex" kinda guy but this one totally took me by surprise! Good video also, the music and editing makes it a pleasure to watch. I honistly think this is a great candidate for LEGO ideas... -simple but ingenious -fun to play -low part count (so affordable) -does not have a copyright on it -fits in the LEGO lineup as a standalone set Who agrees?

    I work wherever there happens to be space I can claim in the house. This varies from living room floor, to dining table to our hobby room... that's why I like having a mobile collection I know they would, but there's another reason I like working like this: A bit hard to explain, but have you ever had that you joined things together only to find out later you have used like 3 or more parts to solve something with the parts you use often while there's a part in your collection that can replace those 3 or more parts but jou just didn't because you forgot you had them because you don't use them that often? I find I come to better and mo re effectieve solutions to problems when I can just see all my parts and scan them for what I require now.

    Hey builders, After seeing all the dedicate LEGO rooms filled wall-to-wall with models and organizer drawers in this topic I decided to show my setup as an alternative for those who don't have that kind of space(permanently). let me know what you think and what you would do differently.
  11. shadow_elenter
    Great work man! looks very interesting. Would you mind sharing some pictures of the internal mechanics?
  12. shadow_elenter
    I love it man! very original! (and it's in my favorite LEGO colors)

    Wel glad you saw it anyway! speaking of being seen... my video just got featured on DISCOVERY CHANNEL ! There's a Show on discovery sience that's called daily planet, they show small video's of things you don't see every day in between the main story's and they featured my rollercoaster in a 50 second piece! I got noticed on the internet and was approached by one of the shows staff and they politly asked permission to show my video, naturally I said yes! I couldn't be prouder so I just had to share this with you guy's: here

    As of today youtube has changed it's youtube partner program rules. It's a bit complicated to explain but it comes down to the fact that small youtubers (like me!) will no longer be able to make money from their video's. if they don't meet the new, higher requirements. As of today, one needs to have more than 4000 HOURS worth of views over the last 12 months and 1000 subscribers to be able to make money with the video's he posts. I just got an E-mail telling me I have until February 20th to reach the new requirement or my channel will be kicked out of YPP! So if you enjoy my video's, PLEASE go to my channel, and I'f you like what you see SHARE A VIDEO on your facebook paige. I'm on the verge losing the income to support my hobby, and this might mean I'll can no longer make high quality video's of my MOC's such as the exempels shown below. Don't forget I'm not alone in this, so check in with your favorite LEGO channels and support them! Thank you.

    I think hole less is best also, and not just in cars. In my case(and probably a lot of other builders also) the limiting factor is that I don't have the right parts in the right color to fill it up nicely. In my latest rollercoaster MOC I used all my panels and lift-arms to fill gap's but I just didn't have enough...
  16. shadow_elenter
    That would be very hard to do, especially with the big g-force spinner and it's claw. To make it stop after a specific amount of spins and then stop exactly in 1 specific spots and then reset after... Remember that without an SBrick there's no speed control. For most other parts it could be done I guess, but I have SBricks so why not use them? Besides I like to control my MOC's, after all lego is meant to be played with.

    Thank you guy's for all the praise and support!! I was also unsure about what to call it... It's definitely not a regular rollercoaster.. nothing like this exists in real life The thing is that in real life this would not be feasible because it would be WAY to expensive ant technically complex to to justify the cost . But it's a ride made for amusement, designed specifically for the thrill factor, it has tracks, a speed launcher, upside down stuff... and a cart with safety features... so I kept coming back to the word rollercoaster... What woud you call it? I really hope so, if you guys think it is worthy But I'm in there already so I'm not sure if that is allowed.

    As a kid I always wanted to build a LEGO rollercoaster, but I never had enough LEGO to try building one... until now. After winning a large LEGO set in the battle bot contest last year I decided that I now finally had enough LEGO to try building a rollercoaster, so I did! I always try, but it's quite hard to be original since there's so many creative builders out there. But when I did some research and I found that no one had ever posted pictures or videos of a true rollercoaster scaled to accommodate technic figures I knew I found my challenge! The main challenges of building one was the fact that there's no tracks made by LEGO to work on this scale. I experimented with making tracks with various parts, but making curves never really worked like I wanted it to, and even a small radius turn took way to many parts. And then it hit me... I don't NEED curved tracks! all I need is ways to make the cart change direction! After that realization my brain exploded with fun and creative ways to do just that. Not only does it take less parts because you can stay very compact, it's technically way more interesting(to build), and more fun to watch For those interested I made a separate video about the techniques I used to make everything work. This was my biggest MOC ever, and it took me extra long because I Had a "dark age" in the middel of the build, but in the end I'm extremely happy with the end result. Let me know what you guys think!

    I love the little guy's! I own 3 of them, and use them all the time. In fact I just completed an insane massive rollercoaster made specifically to there scale! (youtube video is coming some ware this weekend I hope) EDIT: here ya go: PS: seats work very well, even without the safety bar they don't fall out of the rollercoaster (and it gets pretty rough)

    I see nothing wrong with the current PF motor lineup, I would LOVE a PF small motor and a smaller battery pack as an addition to the current lineup. I say SBrick struck gold, BT 4 channels (up to 64!) speed control, simple programming capability, and now with the SBrick+... sensors! They should just buy SBrick, tweek the software a little and come out with 2 or 3 more we do style sensors. To keep it easy for the youngsters, in addition to the a smartphone app make a gamepad-like controller to bundle with sets. best of both worlds!

    a flywheel might work... depending on your planed application. Aaaanyway I'm sitting this one out, I don't own any pullback motors and I'm still not finished with my technic figure scale rollercoaster (having a bit of a dark age). Good luck to everyone!

    nice!

    nice use of the arc's, would have been a good entry for the TC11
  25. shadow_elenter
    very inspiring, I love your mechanical solutions!
