  1. Hello there! I ran into a small problem recently. I'm trying to synchronize a couple of pneumatic cylinders which are not connected directly to the same frame and they keep extend and retract at different speeds. The hoses are exactly the same length and the cylinders are from the same batch - they are not old+new. But even if I get the synchronization correctly then one of the cylinders does a harsh or abrupt action. For example when the pressure in the system is rising one cylinder starts to operate right away and the second cylinder is "stuck" until the pressure is high enough and it extends abruptly. I've spent couple of hours manually extending and retracting cylinders in order to make them work smoothly without success. Did you have such problem and if so - what was your solution?
  2. You did a great MOC AGAIN! The presentation is so cool! Congratulations!! I really like the gimmicks =) What lights did you use by the way? They look brighter than standard lego leds
  3. I know a deja vu feeling when I feel one. At the first glance I thought I saw it already but then I realized that it is an evolution of the model. F-14 Tomcat back from 2010 I wanted to double check it and BAM! The piece between the vertical stabilizers and the wing design gave you away! But I'm happy you moved from studded to studless.
  4. Sorry guys, I'm kinda late to the party but could somebody bring me up to speed? Is the new UCS limited in quantity? Like only 100 000 will be produced? What is all the drama and panic around, I saw people almost fighting for this set
  5. If the new contest is about scale modeling or model team rather than technic then ... I simply don't have any LEGO system parts. And shipping them to me usually takes like a month or so and since I don't build much that kind of investment is mostly unpractical. But hey! TC12!!!
  6. Hi, I kinda fell of the grid since 2015 and there are a lot of stuff going around, so I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a list of all new technic parts introduced since 2015? I vaguely remeember there were new outriggers and pneumatics. 2. Is there a new small motor or news about it? M-motor is kinda too big and old micro motor costs an arm and a leg, a kidney, half of liver, 3/5 of one's lungs, 3 litres of blood and a virgin sacrifice, if I reckon correctly.
  7. Hi, How do you guys make building instructions? What software do you use?
  8. The dust on your PC made my eyes bleed a little =(
  9. B model - ambulance. You can use small wheels for a stretcher or a wheelchair
  10. Simply awesome. I Like the car redesign and boy that plane looks so good!
  11. Not true. I just like power functions more than manual functions. Besides getting an SBrick is awesome and cool, but you just can't use it with manual functions. It's main purpose - to be used with power functions.
  12. More restrictions can't give more variety. Look at the cranes contest for example. LEGO is about imagination and creativity - not about the restrictions, but that is off-topic.
  13. I am, but there is no fun with such rules. Just checked - it will be the 3rd skipped contest in a row P.S. why even leds were not allowed? Do they make such a difference?
  14. Is a motor allowed to drive the pneumatic pump?
  15. Congratulations to all contestants and winners!
