Thanks! New rims as well, or only new tires?

Two stacked might do the trick as well. Although it might be a bit bulky. If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask

Nice work guys!! You really went the whole nine yards

You probably mean this article: About Track Inserts

Wow! Excellent model and excellent rendering! Looks awesome. Thanks for reviving Blakbird

Can you make it fit in one of these? Nice idea btw!!

"for now I'm using rubber treads, for both traction and 'quiet'" I guess not I would like to place an order to try them, but last time I heard they were out of stock. Maybe I will give a TLG a call. No problem

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! Love the use of these rims.

They work! The Edu firmware is indeed for data logging. Otherwise I haven't found any differences.

I think it's time for a motor bike collection topic This is a very detailed model. Love the chrome parts. Hope to see this next week!

Wow! That thing is huge.

Let us know the results! That sensor (actuator) is high on my wish list. It's seems to provide an easy way to control (extra) motors.

Thanks Philo!

Not the best pictures, but better than nothing.

Sorry guys! My bad

I have moved your question to the topic below. It has a lot of useful information. Technic which set should I buy?

Illegal techniques, are techniques which won't be used by official TLG builders. Techniques where you need to bend parts, put too much stress on parts or where parts won't fit properly. Stuff like that. I'm sure other people can give more examples.

No there will be a contest very soon! Working on the final setup, but I've had a very busy week.

It's the other way around. Creating the app will be quite some work, even for an experienced developer. Releasing the app will be the easy part. Developer license is around 100 bucks a year. And Apple will accept such an app, for sure. Your comment about Android isn't true either. Development will roughly take as much time and there are lots of people using Android nowadays.

Hi, This is probably the thing you need! http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=NIL1046 Control LEGO R/C trains and other motorized LEGO sets with the HiTechnic IRLink Sensor for the Mindstorms NXT. The IRLink uses Infrared signals to communicate with trains, Power Functions Motor controller and the Mindstorms RCX . Control the speed and direction of up to three LEGO R/C trains (7897 and 7898) and other sets including the new Technic Motorized Bulldozer (8275) and the Monster Dino (4958). The IRLink enables NXT programs to read values from RCX sensors and control motors connected to the RCX. I have used Hitechnic sensors before and they are really good!

Congrats on the Frontpage, you've earned it

I am using the same technique for the head of my robot. It rotates, tilts and the eyes move (wall-e style). So when the head rotates you need to compensate for the tilt etc.
