I have the current standings from the first votes until today! if you want, I will pass the file for comparison

I am very happy with the outcome of the contest, whatever happens, be in the top 15 is a great satisfaction for me! I want to thank xSergio74 who developed SR3D with which I started designing my ship! a program for me well done, free and Made in Italy ! here is one of my first drawings :

9) 1 12) 1 28) 1 38) 2 43) 1 13) 1

14) 3 points 2) 2 points 13) 1 point 10) 1 point

continuing my work on my heavy-lift ship I created a new post again because I do not think I can put it in the contest going on, so this version is out of competition here is the video of version 4, where I repositioned the system of floating / diving now sinking and surfacing are a bit more evident

ops ! I thought it was locked! I'm ashamed sorry

I forgot to write in the new post the "inspiration" for my model you can insert the following line in my new topic ? "I took inspiration from here: Heavy-Lift Ship" Otherwise someone might wonder "what is it !?!?" thanks !!!

Finish i'm not very satisfied but ... I consider my work finished TSTTS Semi-Submersible

Here is my final version of the Heavy-Lift Ship (real name of this ship) I took inspiration from here: Heavy-Lift Ship This third version is the one that allowed me to achieve the greatest difference between floating and submerged ... I was hoping to get more, but the ship floats too well even though a hull made ​​of only bricks... I needs more ballast in the center the weight of the ship is about 2.54 kg length: 62 cm 1 M-Motor to the propeller 1 M-Motor to direct propeller 1 M-Motor for the water pump (each ship has at least one!) That use to simulate the emptying of sealed chambers 1 M-Motor for the compressor, which allows me to move the pistons 2 IR RC system Unfortunately, this time, the photos are low quality Water pump and "steering propeller" mechanism Compact compressor view from above of the compressor Video previous versions on Flickr and YouTube the contest ends ... but the history of this ship continues ! stay tuned here ! EDIT: Original Topic

done you have my vote!

Wow ! I like this philosophy

fantastic! immediately put it on Lego CUUSOO!

why not use the forum calendar to manage the deadlines of contest ?

I have solved the problem by placing the pump in this way: I changed the pump position (the position previously was red) connecting it to the structure of my ship I am convinced that the pump is not working well basically, if the piston performs the maximum range, the pump has problems, but if the race is slightly reduced ... it works! When the contest is over, I remove everything and do a video of one compressor

ops ! thanks !

I do not have Mindstorm NXT and I wonder how often a new version comes out? is expected a new release? thanks

you're an artist! However, it is clear read my previous post

first of all thank you for your attention! I want to control the pump and the entire mechanism by IR remote control, so I have ruled out the mechanical connection to the battery box Keep in mind that if I unplug the pump and use it manually, the system works! if I turn the motor in one direction the piston moves down, I turn the engine in reverse and the piston drops ... all while using the pump manually! I hope that my google-English is understandable !

when I return home this evening I try to do a little video and i post it But first I must finish my model for the contest ... and find a satisfactory solution to this problem

Are you referring to this? in this case is too bulky for me, that of the video proposed by me is more compact I could try to change it but I think my problem is in the pumps ... and the problem would arise even

I know! is absurd! ... but is so! 1 - I used a similar solution but it works the same way. I have tried to manually move the lever and the problem remains if I use the pump manually ... it works! 2 - Yes 3 - I use the pump manually and it works! 4 - during operation with the mouth I blown directly into the central tube, and the air passes in both positions

Hi ! I realized this found on YouTube, that allows, with only one motor, to obtain the two movements of a pneumatic piston ... moreover it is very compactproblem: very often (not always) the pump operates only in one direction of rotation and not the other! I tried with two pumps (I only have two) and the result is the same Malfunctioning pumps? Note: the switch is working properly thanks

This is the first photo of version 3 of my Heavy-Lift Ship I do not know if I want and/or can I put it in the contest... but, beyond the contest, I'm going to get better results!

in the first version I used only 2 tank, I bought them just for this MOC ... but have not been sufficient I think it would take many more (minimum 10) and should create a mechanism to rotate and optimize the filling / emptying I do not think this purchase (10 tanks!) I have a solution in mind, I'm working on, but requires the use of "Container Storage Cannister 6 x 13 x 11 '(57994)" but I do not appear to be eligible to contest ... or am I wrong?

Done! supported! good luck!
