    @Jim @Milan Just a suggestion: I would indicate the weight in the entry topics, I believe it is a parameter which can also influence the performance. Meaning here the the momentum (p=m*v), and impulse. It is too much physics maybe , but we can have a better overall feeling about the bots.

    Thanks Guys, just another Sunday at the workplace... I would worry only, if we wouldn't speak about LEGO. As seen in the video, there is nothing wrong with overturning, also it is strong and quick enough to escape in case.

    I am not sure about the open chassis - too many areas where the opponent can hook / grab into, but somehow I like the roughness of it. I would also replace the 9L beams in the harvester for red ones (and also change the gray teeth), so the main weapon would be more homogen visually - it is just an optical thing.

    I like it, nice detailing with the red connectors! Maybe the 5x3 liftarms should be also red, to make it even more "bloody". I am not sure about the red "exhausts" (??), LBG was nice, and so the visual focus goes on the scythe.

    Nice one, but the tubing would need some reinforcement. Nice usage of the swingarm pieces, the only thing I can't figure out, how are the hubs attached... What pins are those (3L frictionless)? How are they assembled?

    I would say, go for maximum, also You can gather length (maybe), if you focus on the standby position, like in this a rough scetch. Well, the hammer should face upwards (left is the front of the bot).

    @Nebulaire Thanks for the feedback! There is something wrong with the hood in your pics, it looks like You used shorter levers (32449) instead of the 5L (11478), correct?

    Nice truck even if it is not that sleek, crisp pictures, great. What I don't like, is referring to Madoca in the title, and there is no content behind... sounds like click-hunting. You will get the attention here by yourself, You don't need tricks.

    Nice experiment, I am also for the connector bike, though the 8051 rebuild looks great too. It is a pity, that those wide tires have horror price on the market... (Okay, much cheaper, than the ones for my ZRX ).

    Watch out roppie11, 45x45x45 is the standby size, placed in the arena. After that You may not touch the bot, so You have to rebuild the hammer. It is an interesting concept though, looks good so far. The track geometry might be problematic, I would twist - like on 42042 - for better stability. I also recommend to make the videos horizontally (16:9), it gives a more pleasuring result.

    I took this day for creating the video, I hope You will like it, enjoy! EDIT: I re-uploaded the video, but it seems the stacatto style around 1:07 is still there, must be the youtube converter... the raw material is fine. Whatever.

    Masterpiece, I love these small but technically unique builds. Thank You for sharing!

    @Attika Great and smooth performance, and the RS6 looks really sick! Waiting for dedicated topic.
  14. agrof
    Wow, that is a dense build, good way to keep the center of gravity low. I liked the tracked base better, it looked mean, but of course improvement is always better. BTW, never seen so many L motors at once...

    Thanks for the test, I think the ocean explorer is not a good reference in terms of structural robustness, but the table leg is. I am convinced. ( Didn't thought that it is in same weight class as my Bison (1070 gramms), it would be interesting to see them in a battle. )
  16. agrof
    I am stunned, the performance is usually on high level, but the capture of the original design, and the fact it is blue (yess), make this model outstanding. Again.

    It is a great MOC, and clearly seen, that You are coming from engineering point of view. Still, there are some constructive remarks from me: such huge wheels connected only on one axle doesn't look elegant and sufficient in comparison to the other solutions of the Subarute. I also find the roof - door combo very off, actually... don't have Subaru's (at least these) frameless doors?

    Great video, I like the editing. Maybe some back-and forth driving would be nice to see too. Could You embedd it here, please? After seeing this, I am wondering if these claw elements could be used as well:

    This is sick,great job on this. I second the sound, it is gruesomely scary! I was sceptical about the manouverability, but it obviously works. Maybe You can still rebuild it in some form, and You can enter to TC11. Some questions: How much does it weight? Dimensions? What would happen if the opponent is more heavy (equal or more than Hypnodisk)? Meaning here Newton's third law. Wouldn't cause an opposite effect, and turns into self-destruction - which is always a question for these spinner solutions?

    Maybe TechnicRCRacer is making self-examination on the side of a far-away mountain lake, and the question is about why he doesn't see them usefull. (I do apologize.)

    As far I see, PKW just made some friendly remarks, and as one with experiences with LEGO bots, he adds many advices in each topic. It is something to appretiate. Even if they are only showcase models, they are based on reality, just like a tow truck or supercar MOC. Which MOC is more appretiated, the one, which has only 1 function, or the one, which has many and thus replicates the real object better? Also we should simulate in our fantasy a real case (battle) situation at the end of the day. Take an example: speaking about LEGO, I don't see how any LEGO-built weapon could seriously damage a well built bot. To block a rotating weapon happens in a second, than by manouverability and by pushing power the opponent basically just needs to play until your robot will be tipped over. At this point the battle is done. So even in LEGO world, there is many aspects to consider. Keep in mind, this contest is for FUN, keep the focus on that.

    I decided not to add the horns, I don't want to have any parts that can fall, or hang, also I prefer the clean technocrat appearance. HERE you can check the LDD file, as usual, it is groupped. And a small add-on, as an orientation tool. (Big gif, might load for a while.) Inspiration for the cuteness: https://www.flickr.com/photos/moctown/28905637066/ And the LDD file for it: HERE. The nose parts are not available in black... yet. I try to find the right time and place for creating the video... I have so many visions, and I am just not able to translate them properly...

    Given to the build-up, it should work both ways, check this link: http://www.technicbricks.com/2008/02/tbs-technugets-01-inside-technic-clutch.html I don't know which is more effective, but usually gear meshing is applied, for rotation speed reducation and to increase torque.

    Using worm as receiver is an unique idea, but not surprisingly disfunctional. You might double check your texts before posting out.

    Looks good, although I would worry about the "teeth", they will probably pop out at impact. I would reinforce them and use them in pair, something like this:
