It certainly would not be a ripoff of "Sim City" but I always wanted be the Mayor of my own Lego City. I would name the game "LEGO Tycoon". My Dream Lego game must have the following, First it must be a free roam style game where can go anywhere even the moon, another aspect my dream Lego game must have is Roles and lots of them from Lego City Mayor to Lego Mob Boss to Lego Military Commander to name a few. The Idea here is that everybody wants to be something and in this Dream Lego game you can be that something even Lego Astronaut and a few want to be everything. The Dream Lego game for me must accommodate a lot of game features and it would be a mash up of a bunch of games all warped into one experience. One of my dream ideas would be that You would be able to walk around the Lego town and Build and add on to the town how ever you want from buildings things like castles to fortified walls that is able to protect you town. There must also be a historical progression where you start from the simplest of means and you work/build your way into the future from Caveman to Spaceman Lego can do it all even time travel. Certainly the dream Lego game must have some sort of time travel. I will just leave it at that for now.

That seems to be the idea to say the least. After some searching I was able to find an older Robot doing the same thing as the Japaneses Robot I saw. The big difference with the Japanese Robot is that it was able to hold the ball and the string game with its Robotic hand instead of just a robot arm directly connected up to a cup and string like so with the robot below. -
Sure in some sense Lego is eons behind RC when it comes to development in a high performance Drive Train that is both capable on and off road But how many people are driving that RC car in the house, I hope you start to get the picture. Now comparing LEGO to RC, Sure In some sense Lego does not have this capability as RC and extra caution is needed for the Drive train to not rip itself apart under conditions RC could easily handle and that to some might sound like a draw back but for other that sounds like a problem and a solvable one at best. I for one believe if built right and powered properly LEGO can handle the Power from a powerful RC motor. For me it the other way around and RC is Eons Behind LEGO because with LEGO everything can be made better... I know it sounds generic but think about it for a moment, When your looking at your RC Vehicle at night and your thinking to yourself can I make It better and then you find your self reaching for the LEGO box to make it better in some way. Just know what is making what because I could easily attach a Lego Body shell to an RC frame and Then the Perfect LEGO RC Car is complete, Just not how you had in mind...

Excellent Dragster! And to think still some people say you cant get RC performance out of Lego. When will they learn.

Excellent spaceship design.

@dsharlet So recently I saw a self learning Japanese Robot practice and learn how to catch a ball in a cup as seen in the picture below. It was said that after a 99 failed tries at catching the ball in the cup the robot catches the ball on the 100th time and then proceeds to catch the ball every time with no miss after all the failed tries. Not bad for a self learning robot. Now the big question is Would it be possible for a Lego robot to do the same.

Pictures are broken for me. Edit: Yea Brickshelf is down at the moment...

Wow, Excellent work on everything. This spaceship looks awesome. Its nice to see the extra pictures that inspired the build. Looks just like it. -
Awesome, This is very inspirational stuff CEO Pombe. After being gone for a good year, I do regret that I didn't at least put forward minimum effort towards builds while I was gone to at least contribute something. So now that I'm back and inspired by CEO Pombe Message of building a better tomorrow I'm going to do my best and see this to the end.

Interesting, That sound great. Says alot for the tiny bearing. I checked out the those bearings on McMaster Carr, thoes are some good bearings they are like 7-15$ a piece. You are right about the Ebay bearings chances are they are probably just a lower grade but its still equally as strong bearings and probably capable of the 10lb max load weight like the others. Its certainly much easier connecting this up to a motor then trying to directly connect the Lego shaft directly to the RC motor. But going back on topic Here it would be powering a train, Now that would awesome to see a motor powering one of the trains with the ball bearing modification.

Here is an Idea I just want to throw out there. From what I've been noticing with 3rd party servo motors is that the servo rotations is pretty much variable to a certain degree so with that in mind when it comes to LEGO having that ability to adjust and control the rotation that would be best for all possible servo steering setups for Lego instead of having the Ideal 180 degree turn like we see with the Lego Servo. There is Something to think about.
-
Brilliant Idea here. Looks great, its simple and yet effective. You certainly wont get the same effect with bubble warp or a soft foam insert inside the tire. When it comes to the rubber on the Lego Tire I notice its like a mixture between a soft rubber and hard plastic and I say this by comparing the Lego tire against a soft rubber tire along with a hard plastic tire I have for RC cars.
-
Wow, This is awesome. I'm taking note of this. By the looks of it those Trains run very smooth with the addition of the tiny ball bearings. Tho I wonder if the tiny ball bearing could potentially survive the high RPM from a fast RC motor.
-
Good question, All I can say is that Some of the Robots just vanished with out any trace. No telling what happen to say the least.
-
Awesome, Thanks for answering my question, that made sense. Its been awhile for me and is my first build back after a long pause so I'm still learning.
-
@von Katfisch Welcome aboard. Neat character design. I'm looking forward for it!
-
That is an awesome build. I thought this was a speed boat at first. I believe this here is how to do the spoiler box. [spoiler] [/spoiler]

For what it is worth I think the forum upgrade worked out pretty good. If all you need to do is just edit the post and save to restore the post back to original post condition then its only a matter of time for all the post to be fixed and other stuff to come back. I'm looking forward for it.

Quick Question. What would the Robot possibly count as, could it count as a Vehicle?
-
Been awhile but I'm back building everyone. This week Engineering Mission was on Freegate.
-
@BrickHat Awesome! There will be more Robots to come.

@DannylonglegsThanks for the Comment Danny! Its nice to be Back.

Freegate Robotics Facility Location: G02 Tags: Building, Civil, Week 62 Build FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_1 by boxerlego, on Flickr Inside the Robotics Facility on Freegate Boxerlego constructs Octan Prototype Robots. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_2 by boxerlego, on Flickr Alright, Now that I got the go ahead from Octan Corp I finally can do some modifications on these Robots. A couple of the Octan Robots have been gone missing lately and nobody seems to know what happen. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_3 by boxerlego, on Flickr Now it time to put this Robot back together. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_4 by boxerlego, on Flickr Now that Frame is Complete. Time to put the Head on. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_5 by boxerlego, on Flickr Click! FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_6 by boxerlego, on Flickr Ok everything is done, Now lets see if this Robot is functional to my voice commands. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_7 by boxerlego, on Flickr Robot Raise Left Arm. FreeGate_Robotics_Facility_8 by boxerlego, on Flickr Excellent looks like the Robot responds. Now its time to charge the battery up and wait.

Interesting Idea. If your using a Taper Set Screw that would certainly secure the Friction Pin in place. Tho there is the potential rare risk that the set screw could split the Lego apart. I know that a M3 Machine Screw slides perfectly inside these new friction pins but you would certainly need to have the nut on the screw to brace the Lego with it. I know that if your trying to believe and do it the purist way, you might run into the scenario when the bar is a little to tight to fit inside the friction pin and your running to a hammer to tap the bar inside the Lego friction pin. Even the Purist way get into the grey area of building sometimes...

Excellent Idea
