Posted October 17, 20159 yr lego 045 lego 048 It uses 4 RC controlled XL motors and has 3 modes: 1 Drive - Left and Right Tracks 2 Outriggers - 3 stage - swing, fold and extend. 3 Crane - Rotate boom, lift boom, extend boom and raise hook. There are 3 functions through the turntable. I think the 3 modes will be selected with levers on the back, though there is plenty of room inside for a RC sequential.
October 17, 20159 yr Wooow! Awesome entry! It was my old project, but never started it. Glad you did this!
October 17, 20159 yr Very nice concept and really would love to see some video footage... Much guitars too BTW
October 17, 20159 yr Looks really cool... something new and unseen... :* I like that new outridgers were used... :) Max...
October 19, 20159 yr Lets hope none of those that vote are arachnophobics lol.... Edited October 19, 20159 yr by nerdsforprez
October 19, 20159 yr Author I changed to from L to XL motors as the L's weren't strong enough. I need to gear back up now as everything moves too slowly. Lets hope none of those that vote are arachnophobics lol.... There were 2 spiders in TC6. One came 1st, the other was really scary!

October 20, 20159 yr Great! This was also my idea, but it just stayed as idea (and maybe thats good now), because didn't had time for this contest.
October 20, 20159 yr I like just how the cat sits there :D I thought it was stuffed when I first noticed it! Haha. Great idea for a crane!
October 20, 20159 yr Author I thought it was stuffed when I first noticed it! Haha. Great idea for a crane! Sariel has his hamster and I have that damn cat. She likes lego and cameras but what she really loves is the string from the crane.
October 20, 20159 yr She likes lego and cameras but what she really loves is the string from the crane. I hear that, mine also likes PF wires. Lost two M-motors (luckily) two the menacing jaws of my feline buddy. On topic; I love the concept, never seen one of these before, looks like something that would be great to own, if nothing else, then for the fun of it! You have seemingly done a great job replicating the looks and functions of the real thing, but I'd try to redo some of the gearing to have the function speeds be more proportional to eachother. Of course I have no idea how this looks on the inside, and for all I know there are limitations preventing this to be redesigned, but from my point of view, the speed of the functions is a thing that holds back an otherwise great and unique model! Great work!
October 21, 20159 yr This is looking good so far.... Kinda slow though The way the legs move is quite fascinating. I think you should make it where this thing can walk, THAT would be awesome!
October 23, 20159 yr Very cool entry. I wasn't sure of the scale at first, so the picture of the real machine really helped.
