TSATS: Personal watercraft (Aqua Simulator)

[Porty]

This is my entry to the contest: It's where Lego Technic meets videogames like never before with a strikingly 3D "Aqua Simulator". The prop is a personal watercraft,

perfectly designed to play the game. Down to the pics:

2.Motorized engine(clutched)

3.Simulated steering

4.On/off/reverse lever

5.Opening hood

6.Trailer with working winch

7.Independant suspension simulated base

8."Red Lever" extra power output (see red connector above propeller)

9.Dummy killswitch

10. Working headlights

The Specifications

Width: 5 inches at widest point

Length: 17 inches

Height: 9 inches at tallest point

And a video, of course:

In the video, don't be fooled. It is not on water, and that is not what I'm trying to get you to percieve. It is actually my TV running a video I took of a lake. That is the videogame part; I try to imitate when it turns, runs a few bumpy waves (I hate trying to do that part ), and when it bounces. As for the 9392, I got that last week, too late to use its parts on my MOC.

Well, there we have it. If you want more details of the build or pics look here

Or for my brickshelf: Here

Thank you all for reading about my entry, and may the best one win!
