Hi. Please don't quote images, unless you really need to emphasize something. Thanks.

Nope, I don't This project is meant to learn a thing or two, so I will see along the way. You are absolutely right about the base needing to be sturdy. But I still like to try a modular approach, albeit with a lot or bracing. We'll see. Thanks for input though, it's appreciated!

Again bumping a very old topic. Please read the site guidelines on topic bumping. Thanks!

You are replying to a two year old topic. Please don't bump topics.

To be honest....I'm not sure. I can use a motor on the other side of the wheel as well. But I seriously have no clue as to how this will perform. That's one of the reasons I am going for a modular approach. If one design doesn't work, I like to be able to replace the wheel units fairly easy. Using two motors per units will need a multiplexer, or simply two EV3 units. I am not sure if I can attach 8 motors to a single brick (2 per port). I highly doubt it. These are the things I need to find out. And that's also part of the fun. There is a 12t bevel gear attached to the motor by the way. So it is geared down a lot already. It won't be very rapid. Yesterday I have finished the other wheel units, so I will be able to attach them soon. Maybe I will use the single motor setup to start programming the robot. After all it will need quite some math to navigate properly. I'd like to do a PID controller to let the robot use a compass etc. That will be a challenge too.

He said 10% to the right, not to the front. But let's continue this discussion in the Snowspeeder topic and focus on the Pictures and Rumors.

That's a splendid idea!

I can't find a proper topic either. @J3D1-T which topic did you have in mind?

That's exactly the spirit we are looking for here on Eurobricks!

Good to hear. I'm sorry there's no 3rd prize in this scheme. At least you will get the bronze medal tag Next contest will be a single category again. PS I can send you an R3-M2 minifig if you are interested

Please use the report button, instead of modding. Thanks.

True. After shooting the pictures, I did some bracing to om the wheel section, but I need bracing on the base as well. I will continue to work on the other three wheel sections and after that I will think about the bracing. I like it to be modular, so I will aim for removable braces, using dog bone frames and 5x7 frames.

CONCEPT V4 Okay, it's been a while since I have posted an update. I have been very busy with all kinds of other (non-LEGO) projects, so my building time is limited. I was focused on designing the wheels and wheel covers etc, but I realised I needed to focus on the base first. Panels and stuff will come later. My goal of making it (more or less) modular needs a simple approach. I have been inspired by the base of the Bucket Wheel Excavator. This made me rethink my first approach. After some versions, I hereby present you with version 4 of the base. DIGITAL PROTOTYPE BASE V4 The actual build of the inner base. WHEELS Four wheels will be attached to the base. BASE V4 VERSION 1 The wheels can be attached as shown in the digital design. BASE V4 VERSION 2 However, this design might be sturdier. Both designs (v1 and v2) need to be reinforced to carry the weight of the upper section. I will continue to make the other three wheel sections so I can test the proof of concept. Maybe I will rotate the wheel sections 180 degrees, so that the wheel is closer to the base, to improve the weight distribution. Again, I have noticed that there's no uniform Red color, like yellow. I tried to make a picture, but it's not as noticeable as in real life. Hopefully I will post some pictures with all four wheels attached next week.

Missed it too

X-Wing probably

It's clear that Aaron is disqualified in the simultaneous spitting sequence Nice pics!!

Cool! I really like the Story Board Sketch btw

Hi, Welcome to EB. The image you linked to on Imgur is 1920 pixels wide. The maximum which you can use is 1024. So either you upload a smaller version to Imgur, or you can use Flickr or Bricksafe (very easy to use) and upload a hires version, but link to a smaller version.

Let's end the Porsche discussion (or take it to the Porsche topic) and continue to talk about the 2017 sets. Thanks.

Cool. I can do that. Yup, I agree. I'm discussion the issue with staffers as we speak. More information soon.

Okay, having two topics is never a good idea. I will hide the other one. I know it can be confusing, but scale modeling is definitely not only for vehicles. Let's leave this topic here for now and when we have upgraded the SMF to a dedicated forum, we can always move it. I will discuss whether Architecture would need to moved to SMF instead of Special Themes. I so see a lot of reactions over there too, so it wasn't really ignored.

Isn't there a generic wish list topic?

Hi Rinaldi, Welcome to EB. You have bumped a 3 year old topic, just to ask for instructions. Please don't bump old topics (see site guidelines, link in my footer), unless you have useful information to add. Other than that; it's such a small build, you can probably figure it out by looking at the picture. Challenge yourself, instead of asking for instructions immediately Have fun and take care.
