As long as said people are all over the age of eighteen... -
Mm. It looks like a lime wedge.
-
It's official, people. We finally have a word that's halfway between "disaster" and "designer". This will be most useful in the future. Woah, woah, woah, stranger! We haven't seen 42112 yet!
-
Nice to see this part and its twin returning!
-
That is damning evidence. Damning evidence indeed...
-
Oh sure, single me out!

Me too, me too! Wheeeeeeeee! -
What are you planning to attach this to?
-
The first studless beam.
-
Are these the studless beans of which you speak? If so, I'm guessing the answer is no.

A CONTROL+ capable harvester with GPS-style field navigation modes and header control... it's just too much to hope for.
-
Thanks for that little bit of nightmare fuel.
-
We don't know for sure.
-
I'm not so sure we will. All of the C+ motors run off the app, so that means switchable battery boxes are out.
-
Wonder if we'll ever see motorized pneumatics again with CONTROL+ taking over from PF?

I'd be perfectly satisfied if TLG never explored these areas. I'm content with vehicles for the foreseeable future. My gripe is that that field has become too conventional and repetitive. At least recently we've had 42097, which was a much-needed blast of fresh air (even though it was really just another crane) But we don't see enough of some vehicles. 42102's harvester was cool, but we really need a decent-sized set. Same goes for backhoes - it's been nearly a decade and nothing on that front (where the hell is our JCB?!), and scrapers and graders get nothing beside B-models. I think that TLG just need to change up the core theme a bit, rather than reinventing the wheel with overly niche ideas.

42114 looks like a Uwe job. His designs are quite blunt and beam-based, with panels only used where there would be no other choice.
-
Olav's OK is often followed by 420 to specify it's him.
-
Details on the stickers can clue you in. The most obvious set from this year is 42108; the "OK" markings give the designer away as Olav Kroigaard, who also designed 42082 and 42094 from the last couple of years. 42097 was Alfred Pedersen, going by the '98-'18 on the boom, which is how long he'd been at TLG.

42108 Roll-off Truck

Sheer genius. -
Do you not have the manual? Right. Okay, then: here.
-
Go back throught the instructions, check where you'd need such a beam with a pin in it, and compare it with your build.
-
I think the joint connecting the cab to the dump bed will definitely give 42114 better suspension.

Four of Markus's flagships (8421, 8275, 42009 and 42043) are construction vehicles. Technically, 42055 and 42100 are mining equipment and 8110 is a multipurpose vehicle. He's also done 8294, 8265, 8053, 42004 and 42028. That's only five regular construction-based sets. Compare that to Alfred Pedersen's output on the construction front: 8283, 8295, 8264, 8052, 42032 and 42097, some of which are 1H flagships. Yes, that's slightly less than Markus when factoring in flagships, but the gap isn't that large. Plus Alfred hasn't done many aircraft, so I'd say he's nearly as much a specialist in construction vehicles as Markus appears to be.

He's also done planes and helicopters. In his bio on the Technic site, he even said that his favourite kind of subject is "all that flies".
