What would a good example of usage be with the new dif anyway?

This is so awesome. Almost all that you have listed as bug fixes and the additions in the videos are something I have wished for in a very long time now! One question though: The mirror building function, how does it work? Every time I tried to use it, I can't place any parts, or even select existing parts. It would be great for many solutions, but only if I knew how to use it!

I have no idea what you're building, perhaps a larger crane? Anyway, I just saw that you might would want to reinforce the parts holding the worm gear in this picture: https://www.box.com/s/t2quymwypu6j1pbjwnu9/1/913359180/8344580196/1

Phones have a proximity detector? What do you use that for besides this?

You might still be able to make outriggers that can lift the crane, but they wouldn't be realistic. You'd have to go with the lever principle in order to use pneumatics True, but what good are outriggers if they're not stabilizing the crane?

Hmm... Now THAT could be usefull

Looks like a manual fake engine to me

Those robots you've build are all amazing imo. It's new and exiting instead of all the damned cars floating around the forums all the time !

For a crane this size, I find the thread to be somewhat tiny...

To open the fridge, perhaps you can make some mechanism that pushes it self in between the fridge and the door, and sort of "break" it open. Or you could make handle that locks in place when closed so the robot won't slip the door handle when opening, and then you should also have some mechanism that will keep the tower on the robot from falling over in process, like, an arm that is holding back the fridge of some sort. Cool project, but the robot is kinda noisy. The XL motors make a lot of noise in general. You could swap them out with some gear-reduced buggy motors instead. They have a greater torque and more power, even when geared down, plus, they're not as noisy.

However, it still needs a bit improvement. I have built it and I can say that eventually, one of the red levers will get stuck between the valve and the other pushing lever, causing lots unnecessary pressure on the gears and eventually destroying them. The solution is simple however; just add a small spring with a plate on top of the red levers so that they will always return to neutral position.

Oh great, now I can't find the image 'cause it was too big for some people living in the stone age with a 1024x768 monitor

I once had to glue pieces together when I made a Rubik's cubes just so it wouldn't fall apart in the core.

Can someone tell me how that chain link can sit in the middle?

because of the rubber bands?

Nice, but I don't think it'll be working that great when you make the car go the other way, since I guess it would just pull of the rubber part.

It'd be faster and easier by just installing a vmware player and installing win98 in that. I use it especially for programs like Rock Raiders, Cybermaster, Mission, Alpha Team and so on.

Apart from the weird colors, I like it.

Don't use the program above, I discovered a minor flaw; When you have entered a number (with the touch sensor) and you want to reset it by holding it down for 4 seconds, when you release the touch sensor, it will add a number. I fixed it: http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/2063107/file.html Out of curiosity, what are you going to do with such a simple program? And my plane? Well, at this rate I'll never finish it. Hopefully, I can get some work done on the tail tomorrow I can't get that to work. Can you please give me an example of this program using that method?

I just tested it my self after I finally got my brick working again. It turned out that the program didn't work at all, but mostly because some program steps were interfering with one another Here is a file that's in 100% working condition, and works exactly like I said previously: EDIT: See post #9 Greetings!

Sorry it took so long, it was a bit more complicated than I thought. Here is the file: EDIT: See post #9 I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure it'll work like this: - Bump the touch sensor to select the amount of degrees in a 90° interval - Press and hold the touch sensor for 2 seconds or more to start the motor - Press and hold the touch sensor for 4 seconds or more to reset the selected amount of degrees. - Now you can start over. I don't know if the variables are saved in the file, but if not, you have to go to "Edit" -> "Define Variables" -> "Create", then create a "Logic 2" and a "Number 2" variable.

I'll help you.

That was a good deal you got there. Oh and Garfield, I'm thinking that you've got some very big thumbs or a very small smartphone

You must feel very honored that such a big company actually liked it so much that they're having a fight for who gets to have it on his office.

My thoughts: Not too many parts per step, the official LEGO instructions are too childish already, we don't need more of that. The old type of instructions were the best. Step 27: You might have wanted to make a substep where you build all those bricks and then put it on the final model. My first thought was "wow" that is complicated. Step 36-37: No problem at all, but how are you gonna get those small wheels attached there based by the pictures? It should've been made like step 38 There's missing an instruction at step 122 What you did at page 131 with a substep was perfect. You should do that a lot more. I haven't felt like I needed to look for parts at all. It's just that some people (like Alasdair) like the stupid Lego instructions they've been making the last few years, where even a newborn infant could build a model based on the instructions. It's so stupid. BRING BACK the good old instruction books!
