What you guys think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osZa0Ygp_u4

Here are some other ideas: Anmating car lineary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ielMuV2gmH4 And with a parallelogram tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq7e10Q5OLk Minifig walking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sEEVI6KPD4

So why not use LDD to make short movies, etc? What do you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LuMc5tAA5U&feature=youtu.be

As a rule of thumb there should be 4M motors or 2Xl motors on battery box max. Seeing L motor is somewhere in the middle I'd say you could use max 3 motors per battery box. Any more than that and you run out of current.

That is really neat! And the shark really is DA BOMB

Because I could not add a poll to ane xisting topic, I made a new topic here. Basically I am planning to make a better version of the foldable bridge vehicle as seen in this topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=95847entry1897134 So guys help me choose what would be the best suitable vehcile to use to move this bridge

Yeah LDD is very picky about collisions If you need any help in LDD, I also have lots of experiences and you can PM me. You just need to put axles in the diff and use the rotate function and rotate gears some 12-16 degrees..Than the third one should fit.

These are trully amazing! Few more renders and you wont be able to differentiate between real and computer images.

Maybe there was a problem with the mold?

Here are pictures of the bridge V2 version! Its 110 cm long and can accomodate most of my models, from the smallish dump truck all the way to the fox. 41999 in normal and extreme position: Fox in normal and extreme bendy position: Even the low hotrod can make it across (with a scratched bottom ) And the bridge's surface area is also wide enough so that the small truck doesnt fall through: Now because this bridge is now bigger and heavier the machine to lay it will have to be quite stronger....I'm thinking of just fitting the fox with a launcher in the back... What do you guys think?

There are two 3L axles with bushes on the bridge ends limiting its travel.

And guys, here's already a concept in order to improve the bridge and make it smoother:

Not really to be honest...I like my models to be built in such way anyone can make them.

Awesome Milan, these will be usefull.

Nah I managed to catch'em all :D Yeah this idea has potential to develop further.

Due to the music claim the reuploaded video will be available here:

This is my rather unconventinal approach to laying down mobile bridges. Instead of making the usual pivot-foldable bridge I wanted to use something different so I came up with a scissor bridge using the well known scissor mechanism. At the beginning I was frustrated with finding a way to unfold the bridge, as none of the solutions (pneumatic, mechanical, rope, etc...) worked and I was thinking of using two vehicles to spread out the bridge before putting it in place. But I got an idea of using the rubber bricks so that the weight of the bridge gives it enough force to spread out from one side only. I had to use friction pins in order to keep the bridge from folding itself when lifting it up. The vehicles uses 4 LA's in order to generate enough force (some 10 kg of force) to lift the unfolded bridge and maneuver it. It also uses 3 battery boxes for a counterweight. The models uses only 2 M motors for all 3 functions. The steering motor uses a differential to split the power (when the steering racks reaches its final poisition) to linear actuators. For drive I used a worm gear (yeah, yeah I know) because it allows me smoother and better driving control without jerking which could cause the bridge to fold on its own or the model to fall off the bridge. The bridge has a folding ratio of 10x, when totally folded it measures little under 9 cm and when totally folded out it measueres some 90 cm. The vehicle uses all wheel drive in order to cross the rather uneven bridge Even though the bridge alone weighs under 300 grams it can support the weight of bigger models. The 41999 had problems crossing the bridge due to its differential and high center of gravity making it slip sideways. The fox can cross the bridge if you make it few studs wider and if you dont use the total span but leave at least 15 cm on each side of the bridge for support.

It has a swinging rear axle, thats all Like I said reviewers already got the set.

Now thats comapact, Effe! Good work....once again :)

Now thats really obsessive behaviour...He could have dragged you into it and than you would both be jobless...

What program are you using? But the answer is proboably not, as that would take a physics engine and the usual Lego digital programs dont have that.

Share them, if there is positivie critique, accept it and learn on it, if there's negative critique there is always /report(block/delete or simple middle finger

You can use LA's or pneumatics. Pneumatics are more flexible and allow you to put at least 2 cylinders in serial and several in parallel position. If you are building a crawler crane, those usually mostly use winches.

I think the best way to make pneumatic suspension is to connect the valve parallel to suspension. This way when suspension gets too low the valve is switched and air is pumped in the cylinder. If the suspension is too high the valve iss witched other way and air is relased. Here's a video of a truck with suspension from Sheepo:

This is so natural looking and all the lovely bright colors! Awesome work, wish I could live in such a place, chill under palms swim in the lagoon
