And the maximum number of parts to 700? (*hint hint*) I'm trying to finish my entry in time, and it won't include any vehicles ;) -
Is it allowed to use minifigures, and a brick-built exterior? I have an idea, and it's definitely not model team but does use bricks and minifigures. (it will be mostly technic though)

Luc2000 replied to Kumbbl's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingName one lego set that has an compartment anywhere inside, it doesn't even have to be under the seat... As for the moveable seats: there is 1 set, the first (or was it the second?) supercar, but that didn't have a roof or windscreen, so it wasn't realistic at all. So the motorcycles win :D

Luc2000 replied to Kumbbl's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMost realistic? I think the motorcycles are just that. 2 cilinder engine, direct steering and chain drive.

Luc2000 replied to Kumbbl's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI don't understand half of your post, but I agree on the medium scale thing. When I use 8070 wheels, I have so much room left that stays unused. So most of the time I'm using smaller wheels, like from 8041 or 8445. I'm trying to build a full RC supercar with 8041 wheels like forever. It's a nice challenge though. I think RC is a good challenge, but most of the time it doesn't add much to playability and it doesn't make a model more realistic, since most real life cars aren't electric. So for an official model I prefer non-rc sets. As a building challenge, both RC and non-rc can be fun builds. Just build whatever you want! As long as you are happy with the result, it doesn't matter what other people think.

Luc2000 replied to Luc2000's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks! I had the same feeling when I saw NXT 2.0. I really like it, but what if I'm tired of building robots? I came to the conclusion that you can build tons of other stuff, that isn't a robot. One of my first Mindstorms MOC's was this game. It isn't a robot, but it still uses mindstorms

Luc2000 replied to sama's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingBlablablablabla. It's a toy, people! Made for kids to play with, not for afols who want it to be an exact replica of the real thing!

Luc2000 replied to sama's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe service truck is amazing, best set of the last 2 years. The crane is just really big. 2602 parts. As said before bigger isn't better at all. Since the 4 functions are at the upper part of the crane, my guess is that the chassis is pretty empty.

Luc2000 replied to Luc2000's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSorry, I already did ;) But I'm glad you like it :) There will be better roller coaster coming in the future - hopefully also from other builders.

Luc2000 replied to Luc2000's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks for all the nice comments! As I said in the description, I used mindstorms in this MOC. At the picture below, you can see the NXT-brick, and the geartrain for the gates. Inverted LEGO Roller Coaster 7 by luc.2000, on Flickr And on ther following picture you can see the 3 motors, and 2 of the sensors: Inverted LEGO Roller Coaster 8 by luc.2000, on Flickr The chain lift has to be in the right position to pick the train up. I used a touch sensor and some liftarms, so the chain activates the touch sensor every time a wider chain part comes through. This way, the servo motor "knows" how much to turn, and the chain will always be in the right position when the train is coming. Inverted LEGO Roller Coaster 9 by luc.2000, on Flickr Well, I think about 3-4 months, building about 7-15 hours a week - lot's of trial and error I don't expect LEGO to make this coaster - not even my other coaster. I'm planning on making some sort of tutorial on building a small roller coaster, as an example set for LEGO. Target price will be around €40, so not expensive at all. Just a small coaster, lifthill, 270 degree left turn, small straight under the lifthill, 90 degree right turn, small straight, maybe followed by a small hill up, and a 180 degree right turn. I didn't try to build it yet, but it shouldn't be too hard. So about Cuusoo - just vote anyway, LEGO will design a completely different set, if it reaches 10000 supporters at all

Inverted LEGO Roller Coaster 1 by luc.2000, on Flickr It's here: my newest LEGO Roller Coaster! Some facts: - 5 cart inverted roller coaster train - 10 minifigures per train - 4 person staff - Half corkscrew followed by a half loop (is this called a Diving loop? Reply in the comments!) - Total heigth: - Track: 79 studs - Overall: 95 studs - Track length of the track (measured from the middle of the track): 655,5 studs - Built on 4x2 baseplates (128x64 studs) - Powered by 1 Mindstorms NXT unit - 3 NXT servo motors - 3 NXT sensors: 2 touch and 1 color More pictures are available at flickr. Hope you like it! Want LEGO to make some sort of roller coaster set? Support here: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/2201 I know there's a different roller coaster on the picture, but it's about SOME SORT of Lego roller coaster. If this reaches 10000 votes, LEGO will consider making a design themselves, and then produce it so you can buy it in your local store!

Just a little teaser - more coming soon...

Luc2000 replied to DLuders's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAs long as the 10 finalists aren't up at LEGO's website, I still hope the Dunechaser made it through. It was the best entry!

Luc2000 replied to DLuders's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSo.. no tractor or shark? Too bad. I think your tractor and the dunechaser were the best entries.

Luc2000 replied to sama's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingOfftopic, @davidmull Just out of curiosity, is there a reason your posts are written so... terrible? (I guess you know what I mean). I don't mean this specific post, but just in general. Are you dyslectic or just lazy? I'm not saying my posts are written that good - English isn't my native language - but you're from Ireland, where they speak English
-
Well, I feel the same, but I can live with it. I think you should too. All forums have people who annoy you.
-
Luc2000 replied to DLuders's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWell, yes I am. You can post pics of your mocs here at EB's, or if you want to write in Dutch, you can post them at lowlug.nl. As for the suspension, it wasn't fragile at all. The only problem was that the springs I used were too soft, and I didn't have the harder ones at that time.

Luc2000 replied to z3_2drive's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHmmm. Not really a big fan of this car. An Elise/Exige should be light, with a small engine, and fun to drive. This MONSTER isn't fun, but impossible to drive! It has like 1000hp on the rear wheels, which means wheelspin in the first 3 gears! I built an Elise before, and I'm currently trying to make an Evora (Steering, 6-speed gearbox, suspension. RWD, transverse V6, technic body, no backseat, only 20 studs wide and a wheelbase of 28 studs, full RC - estimated time of completion: late summer or autumn next year)

Luc2000 replied to sama's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThank you, TAFOL From http://www.wog.ch What about 40001, 40003, 40005, 40008 and 40009?

Luc2000 replied to Ondra's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe real introduction of the challenge starts at 5:40, so you can skip the first part. Nothing interesting there. How are people going to design a new body, without having a 9398 set? It's an expensive set, and a lot of people (including me) don't have one.
-
Luc2000 replied to sofo13th's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMy Elise also uses thew piston element for the front suspension, put using 2 "Black Technic, Steering Arm Small" is just genius

Luc2000 replied to Luc2000's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks! I'm not sure if you meant this, but I didn't get them chromed. They are original Lego parts You can see how the steering works at the picture DLuders posted in thsi thread. It was quite difficult to make! Actually, the rubberbands are mostly for the suspension, not return-to-center-steering, although they do this too. Yeah, as I said before, this little car has all the functions of a real Technic Supercar! I didn't have any room left at the back, so I had to place the gearbox in the front of the car. Because the engine is in the back (middle) of the car, there are two drivetraines going through the chassis. I'll be happy to make any additional pictures, if anyone is interested in, for example, how the gearbox looks, or the interior. Just saw that I didn't made aqny real close-up pictures.

Being a Lego and a Lotus fan, I decided to make a Lego Elise. I'm not completely happy with it, but it's OK. The front is too high, because I placed the gearbox at the front. It has quite some functions: -opening doors and boot -fake inline 4 driven by the wheels -working 6-speed gearbox -independent suspension -steering -differential You can find more pictures in the flickr set Lotus Elise by luc.2000, on Flickr Lotus Elise 1 by luc.2000, on Flickr Lotus Elise 2 by luc.2000, on Flickr Lotus Elise 15 by luc.2000, on Flickr Edit: Hmmm, just realized that I wrote LEgo in the topic title instead of LEGO of Lego
