Jim

Do the rules state it has to be a car or truck? Do the rules state your model can't be a Volvo? Digital prototypes are considered progress, definitely We don't call it a WIP topic per se, but you need to create a "discussion" topic, like Milan pointed out. And yes, you can start this discussion topic an hour before closing date. But that's not what we prefer of course. Creating a topic early on will give you a chance to showcase your model, get response, etc. But you don't need to create a topic to show your progress. You can create the topic when you have finished your model, if that's what you mean. I can do that (done) These tags aren't rewarded to the top-3. The medal tags are rewarded, the gold, the silver and the bronze ones. For everyone, let's end the discussion about the tags and focus on the competition (tags will be rewarded on staff's discretion and I will see what I can do) Actually just me. You are definitely cool to enter

I would love to see such an entry

We have thought about it, but this will be a NO, sorry.

You can start before the weekend (or do you need all your LEGO for the weekend?)

I really like compact builds!

If it's not presented and it fits the rules, than you are a lucky bastard That's why Jeroen has so many tags (Just kidding of course, he definitely earned those)

It can be anything you want. That's basically what I said, right One badge....AND a title you mean

Sorry for bumping this topic, but it got my attention because it was linked in the TC10 topic. I think I have never seen this creation. I don't see a response from me in this topic either. Must have been on Holiday or something.

You can make anything you want using LEGO parts, 3rd party hoses, ropes and bands. But like Milan said; let's focus on the pneumatic system. In order to accomplish what? Driving hand pump with a motor, resulting in a more powerful motorized pump? Let's stick to LEGO parts. Remember....bigger is not always better. I for one really like the manually operated Volvo, because of it's "simplicity". Not sure how that should work, but I agree we like to see creations, using the Pneumatic System. Agreed. You don't need to build big.

We might need to combine some of Jeroens tags Do the rules say they are not allowed?

I will change PF motors to motors.

Here's an example of a 4 wheel setup:

Wrong topic...sorry

You can use public controller profiles, made by other users. These will suffice for existing models. When you have a MOC, you can create your own profile. You can use standard graphics/assets, but you can also use your own. So you are basically free to do what you want. I really like the profile designer!!

As usual Milan will also be around to answer your questions.

A new Eurobricks Technic Contest is live! Join the Pneumatic build off and win a Volvo EW160E, offered to you by Vengit, the guys who brought you the SBrick!

What a surprise!

The new contest is live! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138968

TECHNIC PNEUMATIC CONTEST By popular demand the next Eurobricks Technic Contest is all about Pneumatics. The new Volvo EW160E has been released recently, so it seems like a logical moment to focus on Pneumatics. In the past we've had several great Pneumatic models and recently we kind of lacked a nice manually operated model. TLG stepped up and released the Volvo. They even created a new hand pump for this model. So Pneumatics V2 is very much alive! DESCRIPTION Design a pneumatic model operated by one or more hand pumps and/or one or more (PF) motors powering one or more pneumatic pumps. So you can use motors as long as they are used to drive a pneumatic pump. They can't be used for other functions (not even to operate a pneumatic switch). There's no limit on the number of hand or motorized pumps and you can use. Third party hosing, strings and rubber bands are allowed. No other 3rd party parts. LEDs (and other LEGO lights) are permitted when you are using one or more motorized pumps. Since this contest is all about Technic and Pneumatic, Model Team entries are NOT allowed. A studded model is okay (like the excavator in the picture) but don't turn it into a Model Team entry. DEADLINE Deadline date is Monday 31st of October, 2016. Contest will be closed on Tuesday 1st of November, OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest specific and general rules and regulations. But before that, please take notice of a simple motto regarding the Eurobricks Contests: CONTESTS ARE FOR FUN! Of course there's competition, but at the end of the day, LEGO is just a hobby and the main goal for each of us is to have fun! CONTEST SPECIFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS Model Team entries are NOT permitted. Studded is okay, but no model team. One or more PF motors ARE permitted as long as they operate pneumatic pump(s). You CAN combine hand pumps and motorized pumps. Umbilical cords for hand pumps, switches or other operations ARE permitted. You can use ANY type of motor, as long as it's operating a pump. PF or other motorization is NOT permitted for non pump functions (not even operating a pneumatic switch). LEDs (and other LEGO lights) ARE permitted ONLY in combination with a motorized pump. There is NO limit on the number of pumps or pneumatic cylinders. 3rd party strings, hoses and rubber bands ARE permitted. Other 3rd party parts are NOT permitted. Linear actuators are NOT permitted. Electronics (PF elements used for non pump functions, SBricks and Mindstorms) are NOT permitted. Pullback motors are NOT permitted. There is NO size limit. GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS The contest is open to all EB members (also new members). Members who joined EB after the start of the contest can be banned from voting (when vote rigging is suspected). Voting rules will be explained later in the voting topic. One entry per member.

I think so, yes.

I can't say too much, but I think I can safely say that it's not the end of the world. On the contrary. Your current SBricks will still be perfectly fine. @Technic_addict it's pretty safe to get one or two of the current SBricks.

Thanks for the info. I will see what I can do.

I just updated the firmware of my SBrick and now I am experiencing the same problem. It takes about 2 seconds before the command is sent to the model. I will contact the guys to ask about this problem.

Sure...it's red and it controls your models Seriously, I'm not at liberty to talk about it. There will be more info soon.
