    Nice busy scene. Is it the guy about to get a broom to head?

    Nice. How about a video live stream showing the final axle making a full rotation in the name of LEGO science? Also to verify your calculations of 222.5 days?

    The sides of the bricks are under strain from the studs they are connected too. That strain can deform the brick over time thus a lost of clutch power without visible sign of a fracture failure. Being 1x1, there isn't as much material to resist the forces of the hunky stud.

    Poll in blogs can be an easy quick way to collect your reader's reaction to your specific blog post without them having to leave a comment and then you having to read through the comments and collect stats by interpreting their comments. As with any stats, take it with a grain (or a lump) of salt.

    Hopefully the set will be around for a while. I won't be able to buy it right a way. Mine gave me a Honey-To-Do list. So far I finished painting the second floor.

    I think they were a few other Ideas sets that were overly changed from the submission. But it is not going to stop me from getting this set. It's buried in their T&Cs fine print that you agreed to when you joined and made a submission on the Ideas site.

    If it was already planned, TLG could have rejected it in the review phrase. Now they have give something like 1% of the set's sales to the Ideas submitter.

    Pay cash. Hide it in a Eurobrick's Brethren of the Brick Seas (BOBS) build like a hidden hideout build. Convince her you missed building for the Sea Rats.

    Love all the pirating from the old pirate sets style cues. Definitely hitting all the nostalgia buttons. I think it is one of the nicer and clever Ideas sets. Blimey, shop.lego.com Double VIP points ends on March 29th.

    The blocks can be arranged in parallel and motors start at the same time like a slot machine. ** I am not professional programmer nor do I play one on TV. Use at your own risk.

    As long as they don't discontinue them, then all is good.

    Having a ball in lockdown. Powering Powered UP Simple Medium Linear Motor the old fashioned way. Variable speed with the PU medium motor from the Batmobile set.

    My garden is located at a community garden. Our town set aside some land for one. I applied and got a small plot. I enjoy the challenge of growing pesticide free food. Your town/city may offer something similar.

    She's destashing her fabrics. I hope she doesn't expect me to do the same with my LEGO. I try to use the car budget by doing some maintenance/repairs myself. I charge the dealer's shop labor rates.

    I'm building and sorting LEGO. I'm also planning my plot at the community garden. I saw something about TP seeds on the Internet. Going to give that a try.

    I am the opposite. I am not very good at digital LEGO building. I can take a look at your digital file.

    I made my own out of K&S stock #505 piano wire. It's less than $1 for 3 feet of wire and it makes 23 axles. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/157497-train-axle-making-jig/

    Good one. I can barely see the skull in the background. Can't have a virus alert without Weird Al's song of the same title. https://youtu.be/zvfD5rnkTws

    You have enough when your wife or significant other says you have enough.

    Depends on the precision and speed you need. It seems reliable enough for my slot machine with guests playing with it at a casino night event. The color dots on the wheels never got out of alignment or sync. My slots program is not particularly taxing the EV3 processor. If you want to play it safe and avoid potential liabilities for injury, then limit switches wouldn't hurt to have. They would be useful for homing and zeroing the positions too. I had to manually turn the slot wheels to three matching colours (position 0) before starting the program.

    To do a proper pitch, you should replace the people with minifigures in that poster.
