    If Paul is OK with it I have no problems. :thumbup: I'm sure the ugliness is fixable.Besides, aside from the weird headlights design, this is a great model. I think Sariel is being too negative.

    I think you have to be a mod to change the thread title. PM Jim or Blakbird, I'm sure they'd allow it.I'd be interested in buying (USA) if it was cheaper than SBrick / IR receivers and controllers , low controller delay (as you mentioned), and easily compatible with my Android phone (preferably an app in the Google Play store). Also- maybe you should start a new thread for this- you could describe briefly what Arduino (and its cheap clones) are: a cheap, infinitely customizable piece of hardware. Some of EB isn't as "tech smart" as you Also, if you sell this, please have a version without an Arduino- I wouldn't pay for a second one. Also- could I hook up a video camera to the Arduino and use its feed to drive the Lego car? Like a "driver's view position" in a racing game. This would be easiest with an Arduino and an Android app.

    Wow! Thanks, that's what I was thinking of. They're $10 on his Web site. It sounds worth it. Has anybody used these? Would that provide superior performance? Thanks for the links! The first one looks pretty tempting. Will have to see if my neighbor has a soldering gun.

    Yeah, with stickers this would probably get a contest vote from me- depends on how good the other builds are.. . Good job on being the first contest entry!

    Are you allowed to use stickers? If so I think you should put some "Enforcer" stickers on the front.

    Crowkillers should still get some of the money.

    You build in your work office? For real? Lol I took over the guest bedroom I would be scared of building an MOC, since I would be destroying all that organization And you have lungs It was all good until I saw the "computer" in the corner lol

    If I made this mod it would take me 20 seconds just kidding, probably 20 days.

    This is a funny contest, since it has nothing to do with Lego, except for the prize How many people have entered? If 220 people join do we each get a ($220 in the US) Mobile Crane MKII? You must have deep pockets

    I am building an MOC which is having its aesthetics ruined by ugly battery boxes. Has anyone combined a couple AA batteries to make a more compact battery box, then connected that to a PF Functions motor? Also, would this be compatible with Arduino?

    This looks great! Does it have a gearbox?

    That's true. It was a gift, though, and I prefer to support the original manufacturer. You could make some REALLY cheap controllers with this, though, if you used clone boards: since the SBrick costs roughly $40, an IR receiver costs $12 + $10 remote... And lots of people already have an Android phone. The title of this thread should be more interesting and you should embed some of the pictures on that Kickstarter page in this thread. You could call this thread "Low-latency Arduino: Cheap TECHNIC controller Kickstarter", etc.

    Yeah, it seems Paul should get half the money... Still, though, depending on how advanced the motorization is, this is distinct from the original version.

    Sariel, how is yours different (aside from looking slightly worse) compared to this one: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=109708&hl=%2Btrophy+%2Btruck ? :thumbup:

    Are there more pictures? Would like to make an LXF for the chassis. :thumbup:

    Also consider latency (delay between user making a command) and the motor moving. In high-speed vehicles this is very important. You could also develop a case (my Arduino cost $35 or so, I wouldn't want it to get crushed in a crash or roll over). Also, will there be tutorials / source code on how it works? From a profit perspective I understand if you want to keep the code secret, but I have an Arduino and I have been itching to use it for something like this. :thumbup: Also, will there be an app for Android (it's free and easy to put Android apps on the Google Play store)? If so I can help. EDIT: Also consider "tuning" for maximum performance ( I am a programmer, I can help).

    Building an LXF of this..

    Looks great!

    Good observation, I hadn't noticed that.That doesn't make much of a difference, though. I might (gasp!) sand it slightly on the edges.

    hello, I am trying to turn https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ClftNJdh9_S0E1aFh0MEk4NkE/view?usp=sharing into a steerable axle. What's the narrowest way to do this?? Total weight of vehicle will be under 1 kg, so a heavy-duty solution is not needed. I know this axle will be on the large side, with 2 portal axles and a lockable diff...

    Unimogs have push rod engines, according to my research...
  22. __________________________
    Looks excellent! :thumbup:
  23. __________________________
    Very cool! I will make an LXF for this probably, eventually, once I finish my Trial Truck...very impressive
  24. __________________________
    lol Jim you knew where I was going with that

    Thanks for the breakdown...I am building a unimog and I need a small 4 cylinder engine...I will use this great design! :thumbup:
