Turntable difference
Tobbe Arnesson replied to barti673's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sounds like a good theory to me! Dk gray and black CAN be a big problem, heck I've even had problems with tan vs. yellow (in 8043 no less, the three tan axle connectors in the gear box accidentally got yellow)... -
Effe's MOC Corner

Looking good so far! Hey, neat! -
12V on the motors is generally safe, as long as you keep the heat down (I've used 18V on the 71427c01 Electric, Motor 9V Mini-Motor with out destroying anything - and a pure LEGO solution too). 12V on the IR-receiver works but is bad for the circuits, they might fry or get a considerably shorter life span.

I had to turn of sigs here on EB, it was too much work blocking all the thumbnails with adblocker... I have not made a proper MOC since 2003, but post it all here: http://lotekbricks.blogspot.com/ -
ETF Truck steering

Neat, clever thinking and well done! How much "twist" does it store in the general sloppiness? Would it be a problem to keep the different wheel-sets in parallel? Perhaps the suspension parts can be made of pneumatic cylinders that are connected to each other? Firmness can be adjusted by increasing the pressure in the common system and an air-tank or two can act as suspension reservoir - if all the hoses won't be enough. If all the wheel-sets are connected tube wise there would also be some pressure sharing amongst them, so some sort of controlled suspension if you will. Not all four of the suspension legs need be pneumatic either, there can be a mix. -
And of course, if you're hungry just fire upp the barbie!

For screen shots of computer programs and such: png For screen shots of things looking like photos: jpg I usually don't go bigger than 750 px on the width. (and I absolutely hate the GUI on Flickr so I try to stay as far away as I can - which is kinda hard since most AFOL's put their photos there. I prefer Picasa myself.)

Safety notice: Please keep all limbs within the transporter at all times. Well done!

That worked out great! Well done!

Speaking of iceberg... This is me while biking to work yesterday, a tad cold. -17°C (1.4°F), not to bad on it's own but ad the wind chill for biking... Pretty pretty though!

Lovely! Instant recognition with so few bricks, well done! The sextant is brilliant!

Wacky Race
Tobbe Arnesson replied to mahjqa's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Fun! Looks like a variant to Brendan Powell Smiths Ultimate LEGO Vehicle-contest: http://www.thereverend.com/lego/ulv/ 1) Build a vehicle at the venue (or bring one from home). Include a driver. 2) Judge the vehicles based on looks. 3) Which can roll the furthest? 4) Which is the fastest down the ramp? 5) Which can jump the longest distance? Measure to where the driver comes to a rest. 6) In all the events above, which looses the least amount of bricks? We've been doing this in Sweden for quite a while now, here's a couple of videos from the latest events: Comp starts at 7:02, jumps start at 8:26: Comp starts at 0:45, jumps start at 5:05 (but there are quite a few crashes before that as well):
