[WIP] RC Heavy Buggy
Jim replied to Daniel-99's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, You are embedding large images. Can you limit the size of the image to max 1024 wide? You are now letting the browser resize the big image. You can use a url like this https://bricksafe.com/files/danil.nig/heavy-rc-buggy-chassis/IMG_0581.jpeg/1024x768.jpg So simply add /1024x768.jpg Although I do think that you can let Bricksafe create this link for you. Thanks. -

Well spoken! This comment hits the nail on the head. -

Simple can be a beautiful thing. Or to quote a wise man from the past: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" And yes, I agree with the building steps. I could not care less for a speed build, but highlighting the different stages of the build and telling something about it awesome. That's exactly the level of detail I'm looking for. -

That is a personal preference. I prefer the videos Balasz makes. Full of information, clearly explained in a personal way. That's what I am looking for in a channel. -

I have split the post into a separate topic. This deserves a topic Hands down the best LEGO Technic channel on Youtube. Congrats buddy, you've earned it! -
Hi, If you have a problem with someones posting behavior, please use the report button and refrain from mini-modding. Let Moderators and Admins do their work please. To make myself clear; I am not saying your are wrong, I am not saying your are right. I'm saying to use the report button or sending a PM to a staff member if you want to discuss it in more detail.

We sure do! Multiple ones if I am not mistaken.

Jim replied to Maaboo the Witch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Your program proves that a physical remote is so much better. I recently met up with Laurens to lend him one of my models, so we did some testing with firmware updates and remotes etc. Pybricks is impressive -
42131 - CAT D11 Bulldozer
Jim replied to Maaboo the Witch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just tried this program. Very cool! -
Okay, I will make the rules more clear NO MANUAL SWITCHING BETWEEN POWERED FUNCTIONS You can think about omitting the driving and steering part and leave that as manual functions. Or you can try to use the bigger hub. The choice is yours I'm sorry for not allowing this, but manual switching of functions touches the soul of this contest.
-
The words/terms "manual" and "core functionality" are not to be combined, sorry. I started with a single motor for the transformation and I ended up allowing three to allow some flexibility, but I won't budge for manual functions The idea behind the contest is that you remotely control the vehicle/transformation. A manual gearbox doesn't make sense in that regard. Again sorry, I'm sure you have someting wonderful in mind, but it's not in the spirit of the contest. You have to find a way to switch between the group of functions while doing the transformation. That might be feasible and it would probably catapult you towards the top 3

All the motor driven functions need to be remotely controlled. Manual switching defeats the purpose of the contest, I'm sorry. If I allow this, I'm opening a can of worms. Manual functions only for extra stuff like opening doors, and I wouldn't object to manual steering. But the core functionality should be remotely controlled.
