Let me PM you

The Education software also has some extra options for teachers to manage projects and lessons. These have nothing to do with programming the brick.

Indeed very nice! In a couple of hours I will have some stuff online. "Another cool thing is that they will implement a sharing feature in the software by the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014."

You could use the button in the left most corner to switch to "code view" and type this: [i m g] address [/ i m g] Without the spaces of course.

Great news from TLG regarding the educational models. "We can't and we won't stop the interesting development happening all around the world. So if you can extract BIs you are welcome to share these." With special thanks to Xander Soldaat for asking it So I will create packages for every model with the images (building instructions) and the project file.

Can you try Chrome, like Jantjeuh said?

Can you post the url here? http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/26155/1295776332m_SPLASH.jpg

Can you post an image, so I can see the blue box with question mark? Could be that the url is wrong or that deeplinking is not allowed.

You can copy the URL of the image and use the picture button in the editor. Maybe this is helpful: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18451 Let me know if this is what you mean/need.

You should be happy with this MOC! I like it a lot. Well done. Indeed, adjust the headrest and maybe PF lights?

No problem! I think this is the main problem when using these parts. Some parts will be fine if they are not too visible. Too bad the real metal parts are very expensive. I am very curious how a liftarm will turn out.

Wow, this is very impressive!! Definitely front page worthy!! Life size robots/models are so cool.

Most of the forum works fine for me on my tablet. Including images can be a pain in the bottom though. I second this!

Read this article about PID. It's a very clear and understandable read. You just need to translate it to your needs. http://www.inpharmix.com/jps/PID_Controller_For_Lego_Mindstorms_Robots.html Page 34 of this tutorial also mentions PID control. But I still guess NXC should be able to continue after a motor command.

Here's an image of the Liftarms. You can clearly see the graininess. Original Image I really need to get myself a better camera. Sorry for the quality. Original Image

True! There plenty of them in the game though Indeed a very nice creation

I now understand what you mean. Doesn't NXC have the option to continue without waiting? You could write a PID controller to avoid this issue, but that will need some experience. You shouldn't use a fixed rotation, but adjust the power level and check the rotation on a regular basis. Then stop the motor when the destination angle has been reached. In a nutshell.

Will do, will do By the way; I am sending you the other parts this week, so I can include two of these.

Sure, of course. But I am not at home right now. Will make some pictures when I get home. Really need to get myself a new digicam, but I will try to find my old one. iPhone pictures are so so.

I second that! Don't do it.

Okay no need to wait for a review. Almost every piece I order has holes that are a little bit too small. Same goes for the liftarms. The pins with friction need to be forced a little bit and the frictionless pins act like friction pins in official liftarms. I have read this in reviews of other parts as well. Strength, I don't know. They seem a bit weaker. The size is okay. I have connected them to official liftarms and the holes align perfectly. Overall usability is okay! May need to widen the holes a bit. I do think (know for sure) that these parts will have more wear and tear when being used.

True! To be honest, don't know why I made the reply. It's useless

My order has been delivered! I will try to write a mini review this week. @TasV the liftarms seem to be quite usable

Probably not. (maybe when using some inheritance, but I assume everything is linked to a single base table) Something like this makes more sense. Adding some sort of ModelType/EntryType (MOC, Set, ...) But I might be wrong of course

It would be difficult to modify the Crawler with an EV3 without making it top heavy. But one could create a different crawler, built around the EV3. The crawler would need loads of sensors to be able to navigate the course properly. It would be possible to control the crawler via internet, but the lag would prevent from driving it properly. So theoretically yes, practically....doubtful.
