Have a total of six, planning to do a Buwizz powered vehicle with them. THE POWER WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD

23. Cat A: Name: Square pancake Signature move: Lift, Spin and Smash Size: 45 x 45 x ~8 studs Powered by: 10M, 2L, 4XL and 1 RC motor for a total of 17 motors Weight ~ 2,5 kg For this competition I wanted to build the most advanced bot, packed full of features: - Mecanum wheels, they allow the bot to go in ANY direction, even sideways. Each wheel is powered by 2 M motors, therebye totaling at 8 M motors for drive, combined with a flippable design which allows the bot to drive upside down - Liftable spikes to raise the opponent and siable them in the front, powered by 2 L motors and at the sides, powered by 2 M motors - The rear has a very fast spinning weapon, which tops at some 4000 rpm, powered by an RC motor - To top it all off the whole rear spinning weapon is on an arm which can pivot upward, therebye delivering a powerfull blow. For that action I used 4 XL motors. Please check the video of the bot in action: Topic with more info can be found here: Thank you for checking my battlebot and good luck to everybody

For that action I used 4 XL motors. - And finally some corner rubber guards make it very hard for this bot to be picked up and dragged: Squeezing 17 motors, 2 Sbricks and 2 battery boxes in a robot of less than 8 studs tall and 45 x 45 studs wide and long was a challenge, but in the end I succeded. Because it looks like a rather squarish looking pancakge I decided to simply call it that - square pancake. Specifications: - Powered by 10M, 2L, 4XL and 1 RC motor for a total of 17 motors - Controlled by 2 sbricks - 45 x 45 x 8 studs large - weight is around 2,5 kg Here's spikes and the weapon are suppose to work in together to disable and smack the brick ouf of the opponent: To control the robot I made a custom Sbrick profile for my phone. Controlling all the motors and ways of movements can be quite a challenge And here is the nightmare of cables, motors, gears and bricks which hides under the armor: Please enjoy the video showcasing all the functions: In the end I know this may not be the toughest or nicest looking battlebot, but I think it compensates with a very large amount of unsual features and techniques. Building this model was very fun, among other things it inspired me to continue developing my mecanum wheels for future models. A big thanks to everyone for inspiring me

A 3x3 servo-like motor for controling valves, moving gearboxes, etc would be awesome. But unlike a true servo, I think having no feedback mechanism and just a simple coil with a magnet to turn the axle 90 degrees each direction would be much simpler and cheaper.

Wow, what a massive model! It seems perform really great, but I dont like how the arm shakes when it rotates, maybe try reducing gear ratio?

Does your phone see the BuWizz? Did you try restarting the phone? I had a simillar issue once, lost connection with BuWizz while it was updating. After phone restart i was able to see it again and update firmware.

Did you try charging it yet?

I will give LDD a thought ot two, after all this car did start in LDD first, like many of my MOCs. Yes, phsyical control is a must for fast models. But for simple construction models phone is good enough. Thanks, yes I wanted to give it a bit more detail and it worked I used the production unit, the ones being shipped now.

Hi guys! Here's a demonstration model I built to show the potential of Buwizz. There were several goals for this model: Keep it small and light Gearing should be as simple and efficient as possible - ended up using a 40 tooth gear powering the older style differential, getting a 40/:16 gear ratio Advanced steering solution - pivot point is inside the wheel and the car is using ackermann steering geometry for best possible steering and efficiency Use Buwizz as a structural support - not only does the Buwizz power and control the car, it also helds it together Working steering wheel and openable doors - have them too Here's the result: In the gif below you can see the way the car is built and how the steering system works The end result is a very fast and maneuverable car that faces same problems as the big ones. Its actually so fast, that its easy to understeer at high speed or oversteer when accelerating. Controling it at high speed can be very hard, but thanks to Buwiz's different speed modes you can easily slow down the car. This is very usefull for parking or precise maneuvering. To finish up with a bang, here's a video: If there will be enough demand I will create an LDD model of this little speed devil

Count me in. Judging by my trend of being fourth, are tehre any przes for that place

Very original and funny! IMO that walker is the best, it was simply brilliant.

I have been very busy lately with other things, but I didnt find some time to build a tracked racer powered by Buwizz. Here's a dirty, sneak peak:

Wow, looks massive! How are the wheels made? Is it motorized? Would make an awesome RC model. Can you give us more photos?

You are looking at the second axle's right 24 tooth dark gray portal gear.

That's one of the reasons I'm not really active as I use to be too... I for one like the truck, even though it only has pendular suspension in the back, it will be a great parts pack for offroading and its a spiritual ancestor of 9398.

Just tested the new-ish battery boxes without current limiters with RC motors and in my Oshkosh 10x10. The difference in performance is clearly visible, the battery box along with V2 receivers allows the motors to use as much power as the batteries allow them to (applies to RC motors too). I have a feeling TLG removed tha current limit due to the larger power needs in the upcoming 6x6 truck.

So new battery boxes have no current limiters? Which means you can use them with PF2.0 receivers and RC motors?

Yes, that hub is very tight on room as it is, I doubt you can even attach the old version to be level yet alone at an angle.

The unchamfered one has a straight edge which may colide into nearby bricks when suspension is moving up and down. The chamfered one has an angle in the end so it allows greater movement. Look the lower part of the ball joint recepticle.

Looking at the 42070's pic using a picture editing program I noticed following things: - Front wheels seem to be attached to the portal hubs, so they are most likely driven too - The front axle may not be suspended, if you are using a smilliar setup in the rear as Arocs, there is really no need to suspend the front axle, since the rrear pairs do all the flexing. - As mentioned before I am pretty sure the rear axles use a simillr suspension as the Arocs in the rear. - Obviously the headlights are the bent transparent panels used as a windshield in the BMW bike. - There's barely visible licence plate in the front, but I cant make out the initials. - There may be 3 seats in the cab.

When did Lego community become so....priviliged and hard to please. This is the first lego 6x6 and its remote controlled! Its a successor to 9398 with bigger wheels more parts and more pieces in new azure color. I for one like to see a bit more colorfull models, not everything being just white black or orange. And for everyone critisizing they look too chilidsh...did you happen to see that mysterious 11+ number thingy on the box? Yes it says 11 (ELEVEN) not 41, so can you guess the target audience? And who says Lego has to please AFOLs in every single way? Let them please some kids too for a change. They sure seem to be pleasing my inner child, I plan to get the 6x6 for sure!

So I have been having a bit of back problems and was wondering, how you guys build Lego? For me most of the time it was sitting on the floor, surrounded by bricks, but I am now in process of putting all on a large table, and sitting on a chair. What works for you? P.S. I'm a technic builder, so usualy the building process is a bit trickier than classic Lego.

Where did you get that info? Just curius.

A bit late, but still... One of the cutest animal sculptures I've seen! I just wanna build and pet it
