Duly noted. Let's try to focus on the McLaren again. -

I was hoping for purple or another color. But I am not surprised they used this version of orange. -
Hi Joakim, That is a very nice gesture and a very nice initiative. However, since this is sales related, we don't allow it in this section of the board. You are donating to charity, which is something we obviously want to support, but at the end of the day there is a revenue stream for you as well. We do have a buying and selling section, which will open up when you reach 100 posts. I will also discuss this with other staff members and get back to you. Keep up the good work.

This definitely feels like official set releases. - Any news on the 2024 sets? [information is published] - Any news on the 2025 sets? -
Yeah, I'm sure adding truck would have helped a lot I don't even know what those are lol. I guess I know Geekservos. But no. Buwizz and SBricks are two commonly used products here in Technic, so we usually allow those when we allow motorization. And Buwizz and SBricks are hubs, not motors. Yeah, I guess that's okay. Well, it's basically the only fun I have during this contest (just kidding, I love to see the builds) You guys never cease to amaze me and you never disappoint. "Build a vehicle with four or six wheels". It all sounds so simple

That was basically my idea (more or less) for TC2 (the first contest I hosted) but we still haven't done this My idea was a non-vehicle contest. -

There is nothing preventing us from doing it again, but we have indeed done this before. But the concept is definitely interesting enough to do it again. -
LoL But you can simply take some pictures with your smart phone. Just use a neutral background. Doesn't have to be white. I went through the previous contest and none of the entries used digital artwork, so let's stick to actual photo's and videos. You can create an animated picture as long as it's based on actual images.

It is not exactly what I was looking for, but it's hard for me to deny it's a vehicle. So yeah, it's a vehicle. And if it uses 4, 5 or 6 wheels, it's allowed in the contest. Not if it has already been posted somewhere. We always ask to build something new, so using a cabin which you already have shown in public is not allowed. I know it's thin line and people will obviously re-use some of their stuff. But if it has been posted (and possibly discussed) somewhere people will probably find out. The contest is about building a new moc, so build a new cabin. And it's hard to determine whether a cabin is new or not, because most cabins will look more or less the same. Just make it different enough that's a not a blatant copy of work you already have published.
