    Looks nice! I've actually been working on something similar for the B model, though I took some more liberties moving things around.

    Are they really that much more complicated than the sandwich panels though?

    Compose, !, ?. Search for wincompose.

    Osprey isn't that long ago is it? The Zetros may well have been in development before they turned around on the Osprey.

    Could the difference indicate mindstorms sensors? Which interesting functions could that add?

    And you don't really have position control on pneumatics. You'd have to go hydraulic, and it just feels unlikely to me for them to ever include that. An electronic pressure sensor to control the compressor is possible.

    Back in the 90s, pneumatic hoses came as one length which you had to cut yourself. I know nowadays they come pre-cut; I have no idea when the switch was since it was during my dark ages.

    Universal joints are not quite perfect: when at an angle and if one half is turning at constant speed, the speed on the other side is not quite constant. Aligning the joints (by the slits) and ensuring they are at approximately the same angle counteracts this effect; misaligning them amplifies it. When misaligned, turn both a quarter turn to invert the effect.

    @Ngoc Nguyen You didn't mention the possibility of motorized pneumatics. With the newest type of valves the valve block doesn't need to be very large, but I don't think motorised pneumatics with a significant number of functions fits in the budget. Manual pneumatics are a possibility.

    Heavy-duty suggests to me a tow truck targeted at towing trucks, rather than cars. However, if a towed vehicle is included, I'd expect it to be a car since the price seems too low for two truck-scale vehicles.

    Your universal joints are misaligned, that may be causing the problem?

    Official lego string doesn't get very long; I'd recommend looking in a crafts or DIY store.

    I'd watch it with that bracing - while it is a very tight friction fit, it's still a friction fit. See if you can form-lock the 3l thin liftarms somehow.

    Checking browser tools, the downloaded page is 0 bytes. So definitely server side. Might be related to the board-specific styling for technic?
  15. pleegwat
    The entire technic subforum just gives me a white page.

    I've currently got a MOC in progress and have been paining myself on how to get a motorised compressor in decently. I've currently got something which actually works, but doesn't leave enough room for the HOG steering, so I'm going to have to rip it back out and think of something else.

    For this, I'm really hoping for a similar featureset to the unimog: One motor with gearbox, compressor, and pneumatics. But no motorised drive.

    Battery boxes have polarity switches. If polarity aligns you get double the power at the same voltage; if it does not you have a short.

    Or 42099.

    I've seen a strandbeest done as MOC. There's also a walking dinosaur in the 8891 ideas book. I agree though that it'd be tricky to make work as a set.

    Though legitimate cases where you would use more than 4 motors on a PF battery box are probably rare, this is different for lights. However, I think that's better served with a light-specific solution.

    The images are hosted on facebook, and firefox by default blocks images from facebook unless the entire tab is facebook.

    What makes it weird (to me) is the combination of delta wing and a prop. There may be exceptions, but you rarely if ever see delta wings on subsonic aircraft, while propellers don't work on supersonic ones.
  24. pleegwat
    I'd hazard they automatically compensate for the sides drifting away or toward each other as well. It may be possible to set up a mindstorm sensor to detect the skew?

    Looks very nice!
