    I look forward to seeing it when it's done.

    Both will work, it mainly depends on how fast you want them to move. Also, the grease is less likely to leak out than the spray. I was going to suggest that... One thing though, you don't need any tools to open most of the pneumatic parts, except for the newer valves. Thanks! Thanks, I don't know why it didn't get any attention when I first posted it...

    Thanks, that's actually what I originally designed it for. (though I quickly changed to using a big air tank, due to how fast it used the air...)

    I guess this is the best place to ask this... I've recently stopped getting email notifications for the topics and forums I follow, I'm still getting PM and "you have been quoted" emails, but nothing else. I haven't disabled it in my notification settings, and everything I follow has notifications enabled, so I can't understand why I'm not getting emails anymore... And before you ask, no they're not in the junk folder - in fact I've even added the Eurobricks email address to my contacts to stop just that.

    Thanks! Yes I know that now... Cool! I've tried making something like that before, but I've always ended up using non-Lego parts (plastic straws). That means they need re-lubricating - I've found that lubrication can be the difference between unusable, and better than new - I've re-lubricated all my pneumatic parts, and they work so mach better now. (especially the large cylinders) Also, sometimes there can be small particles of dirt or plastic in the seals - which can cause pressure loss. I think taking apart, cleaning, and re-lubricating can just about fix any pneumatic parts.

    I have finally got around to making a video of this! You can watch the video above, in the main topic post
  7. mocbuild101
    Oh yeah, I didn't see that... I guess that just goes to show how good your MOCs (and videos) are...
  8. mocbuild101
    And that... I've got a feeling @kbalage will score good in this contest... (if he enters)
  9. mocbuild101
    Okay, will do tomorrow (it's getting a bit late here), and will send it to you via PM.
  10. mocbuild101
    Same here... I got a SBrick instead (mainly because of the app being better). I guess you need to win a BuWizz before you can enter to win a BuWizz...

    It's your web browser that decides how to play it (or not), some play them in the browser (or browser extension), and some make you download them and play them with a media player. The file format also affects how you play it, as some cannot be played without downloading them. I would suggest converting them to .MP4, as that is one of the most common video formats. (or if you want, I can convert them and put them together for you )

    I'd definitely go for 42054, I'm just amazed by how many alternate models have been made from it!
  13. mocbuild101
    Great work, I really like the black! It was also the basis for the JATO Rocket Car...

    There have been some Lego building machines before, but they have only used standard bricks: MakerLegoBot: http://www.battlebricks.com/makerlegobot/ Lego Duck Maker: http://robotics.benedettelli.com/lego-duck-maker/ Yes, they have plenty enough force for that. I don't think that would be necessary, NXT motors have an accuracy of 1 degree, which translated to linear motion via gear racks, will be plenty accurate enough. That shouldn't be too difficult, I think the main problem would be getting the robot to hold the pin hard enough to push it in, yet have it loose enough to let go once it's in.

    @Permo I would suggest creating a Bricksafe account, as you can upload both pictures and videos - you won't be able to embed the videos here, but you will be able to link them. For example: https://www.bricksafe.com/files/mocbuild101/tc12---banana-tank/wip-section/Engine Test.mp4
  16. mocbuild101
    Yeah, I agree - if there's nothing interesting to comment about, not that many members will bother commenting. That said, it really shouldn't be this quiet, as this is one of your better MOCs... I didn't choose to make the instructions just because I could, I chose to make them because I liked your MOC. BTW, the links to the renders link back to this topic, so I'll just put them here:

    So was I... (though I'm only trying to get over 35km/h with a single RC unit ) Any type of steering that uses drag, braking, or slowing motors won't be very good if you're trying to get the most speed you can. I would suggest steering the front wheel (motors and all), via a large turntable or something, as that won't add any unnecessary drag. Edit: I see @TechnicSummse beat me to that idea...

    Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to everyone that voted for me! I wonder what the next contest will be...
  19. mocbuild101
    I think that's a bit too strict if you ask me, but yeah, I guess there's no point fighting what can't be changed... In the end, it's just another piece of evidence in the case against the number 13...

    Yes, and it's actually quite easy: Download and run the standard installer for LDD When you get to "Choose Install Location", just change the drive letter to the USB's letter (e.g. D/E/F). Finish the installer. Go to the root of the USB, right click, and choose New -> Shortcut. Find the file "LDD.exe" in the installed folder on your USB. Create the shortcut. Eject the USB. Uninstall LDD from your computer. (this will only remove the record of the installation) Put the USB in, and run LDD. (this will install the bricks, so make sure your connected to the internet) Done! LDD has been installed on your USB/flash drive, and you can now use it on any computer (that has the same operating system). You can repeat these steps if you want to install LDD for multiple operating systems, just make sure you put them in different folders.

    That would be a good compromise, though it would be better to have a choice of multiple colors.

    I personally think it's best to start with the most important parts - the parts that can only be built a certain way (such as the gearbox, axles, and maybe a tricky part of the bodywork) - and then build the rest around them. This way, not only do you avoid assembly problems (such as a gearbox not fitting into the chassis), but you also get an idea of whether you can actually built it.
  24. mocbuild101
    As far as I can see, that would be impossible. You would need to either connect the gears with another axle (like @LvdH said), or only have two speeds.

    You can use the original RIS 2.0 software on Windows XP without any problems, and it can also be made to work on 32bit Windows 7 - you just need the driver for the IR tower, which you can get from here: http://www.robotc.net/download/rcx/ You can also download ROBOTC from the same page, if you want to have a go at more advanced coding. Yes they are, along with instructions (and their programs) for many other cool robots!
