Thanks everyone for another great contest. For a third or fourth time in a row I was 4th At least I'm consistent

If I understand you are able to import parts/modify from LDraw? So you dont have to "model" the parts manually?

Wow, those are some really good mods. I think having LAs and springs as seprate parts is good so they can easily be slided in and out. If Lego does indeed update LDD, you have to re-do everything or can you still use the code you written?

Great work. Since TLG seems to have abandoned LDD, I think your work could keep this program alive in the future.

One of the best competitions so far, it's great to see people outside the usual land vehicles comfort zone. 11 : 10 6 : 6 3 : 4 10 : 3 9 : 2 1 : 1

No, axle does not work with old hubs. I see pictures now on PC, not sure about copyright tough.

Great work. Yes CV joint can be inserted and steered in real one. Resolution is too low to see what's written.

I suggest you ask people what they would like the most. Dont forget to include a small tip jar or such Personally I'd really like to see the following: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x873c01&idColor=11#T=I&C=11 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32181c02&idColor=12#T=I&C=12 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=42531&idColor=4#T=C&C=4 And pneumatic cylinders, switches and pumps would complete the Technic library. Pretty sure you could also increase one of the balloon tyres to give us Power Puller wheels?

What a clean and colorful deisgn. You managed to create and fill in the curves in a really nice manner, from a distance It doesn't look like Lego technic at all! Also really like the way you used axles to create the front mask of the engine. Best of luck.

13. Motorized BiCopter Inspired by the Avatar this striking model has the following blend of manual and motorized functions: - Manually operated control stick which changes the tilting angle of the ducted fans - Motorized ducted fans with integrated one directional mechanims which keeps them spinning in only one direction, irrelevant of the powering motor's direction. - Motorized opening cargo doors and rear ramp, actuated by a mini LA located behind the cockpit. - Motorized winch capable of reeling a container inside the cargo space of the model. Dimension and weight: - Length: 52 cm - Width: 46 cm - Height: 19 cm - Weight: ~ 900 grams Photos: Video: Entry topic: Thank you :)

I started working on this model many weeks ago in Lego Digital Designer first. The whole concept started with the quarter circles from BWE, which are able to perfectly accomodate the small rotors. I was heavily inspired by the (movie) Avatar's rendition of helicopters. After a lot of tinkering in LDD, it was time to start building in real life: It was here I discovered I made a big mistake. The control stick located in the cab used to tilt the rotors was reversed! I had to go back to the drawing board and correct the control mechanism. Few days, fixes and improvements later, this is what the final model looks like: I wanted the colors to randomly switch from yellow to make it look more eye-striking. Where possible I used black 2L pins instead of the blue ones. As stated in the topic name, this is a motorized model, powered by the small LiPo battery box which is hidden in the tail, next to a single M motor: The single M motor powers a total of 3 functions: - Drive rotors (always engaged, spinning in one direction only) - Opening cargo doors and rear ramp (powered by a gearbox) - Working winch (powered by a gearbox) You can see the driveline of all the motorized functions here: The red mechanism at closest to the M motor makes sure rotors are spinning in one direction only, irrelevant of which direction M motor spins. This way changing direction of the gearbox does not change in which direction rotors spin. Gearboy in front switches between openining doors+ramp and a winch. The doors and ramp are actuated by a single actuator located right behind the cockpit: The rear of the cargo doors is connected to the ramp via bewel gears, so both open at once: I also bult a small container which can be easily lifted by the motorized winch: The container can easily fit inside the cargo bay area: You can see the finished model's video below:

Wow, that's some great work. You could try cutting down the 1X15 arch next to get the new one we got in Porsche?

You know TLG does not usually make Technic models in scale, right?

Anything over 45 degrees is too much for Lego's current universal joints.

Sorry for the bump, but I uploaded the LDD file of the model on my Bricksafe and posted the it on rebrickable.

@jrx Any clue if the offroader uses solid axle or indpendent type of suspension? Does it have all wheel steering?

Now that we have planetary gear hubs with stronger joints, there's nothing stopping TLG from teaming up with Tatra to bring us a remote controlled 8x8 truck.

I don't think it's too hard to imagine a bulldozer, crawler crane or such alternative models.

Expect tutorials for the use of the new app and i'ts new features next week

I (finally) edited the video of my Rolug Xperience 2018: These are the models I built for this competition: You can find the LDD files of my competing models in this link: https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/Zblj/Misc/rolug-technic-xperience-2018 All I can that is that the whole trip and competition was a blast! A big thanks to all the Rolug members and especially to @braker23 for inviting me.

Thank you Paul. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas too, here's what Santa brought me previous week:
