  1. What camera and settings did you use for this? Nice picture.
  2. I think one of these things could drive over you and it would tickle more than hurt. 3psi! Atmospheric pressure is 14psi.
  3. Very cool. Why did you put tape around the front differential?
  4. Has it closed yet? As far as I can tell, it's still open.
  5. I built one and it works pretty awesome, fun to play with. Try it out, you might be surprised. The only down side is that the gears are kind of large and out of scale, but some 8tooths should work just the same, as long as there is an even number.
  6. Here's my version of the mechanism Mark was describing:
  7. Here's the LDD for the backpack, with 1/5 gear reduction for the turntable. LDD: http://s000.tinyuplo...987728314159761 *The 4 "black plate with bearing" pieces are just placeholders for the two receivers.
  8. There are so many great entries. I have no idea how I'll be able to pick my favorites. Is there any way we can get some more points to distribute? Maybe 20?
  9. Thanks for the positive feedback. Innovative solution for the two lower left input wheels. I haven't completely understood your second set of replacements. Please post a photo when you have made them to your model. I originally had 4 red 3L bush pins in the turn table. I took all the photos and videos and when I took the model apart to count the pieces I realized I was at 202! So I had to take the two extra red 3 L bush pins out and rebuild/reshoot everything! The first one I built was colorful like this. Then I rebuilt it with a more consistent color scheme and it was so boring. Having lots of color is definitely what makes this model stand out.
  10. Thanks barman. The rotation is indeed a little too fast to control. Thanks for the tip. I was still in the "not many pieces" mindset when I built the backpack. I'll add a gear box. Thank you!
  11. Thank you for the nice feedback. I hope you all enjoy it! Videos posted!
  12. I tried to stick with the original Technic color scheme. Red, Yellow, Blue. I also wanted it to be stimulating, so if someone walks past it they have to touch it.

  15. Jim, can you give us the official time, and time zone, that the contest will end? The deadline really crept up on me.
  16. Jim, Can you update the first post with the latest official rules, especially surrounding media and the entry post? I'm worried that some of the details and restrictions are dispersed through out the tread and I don't want to miss anything. Please? Thank you.
  17. It looks very cool, but being built last year, in my opinion, is a bit of an unfair short cut :(
  18. Great questions. For example: a dump truck full of little lego round 1x1's? The images from inside the front flap on a box are usually VERY interesting.
  19. The model looks great. I can't seem to find the trunk function though. Also, do all these "rotates with a bit of friction" movements count as functions?
  20. Not sure, but i think you have way too much time on your hands. lol
  21. Oh now I see it in there. Cool! Good luck with the other thing!
  22. The crane is a little confusing. It looks like if the crane is panned 90 degrees to either side, then the tilt function would become a roll function. Is that the case? Also how is the zoom function transferred through the turret if the turret is tilting? Can you show a video of it in operation?
  23. You are experiencing the complexities of worker management. There's a good book: Mythical Man Month. says: "9 women can't make a baby in a month." Communication costs scale non-linearly. "At some point, adding developers to a project will slow it's progress." Let's make a collaborative thread!
