Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSorry for you loss man. I'm glad to hear that the Polyp still exists. I really hope to see it one day! -
Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWhat happened to this? I hope the TS didn't die on us...

Subblaffer replied to SNIPE's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingVery nice! Where can I find a bucket like this? Purchase on the web? 3D print?

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI was wondering how this project is coming along. Any updates?

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks for showing. Clever solution! I was wondering; What do you use for powering the whole thing? Do you use a specific power supply?

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI really love to see how this project is becoming bigger and bigger! The video is awesome. But I noticed the carts are a little high from the floor. Even when the head position is down. Questions: - Did you use any silicon spray or oil on gears and maybe other parts? - I'm very curious to how you made the slipring on the main cylinder. Especially the drag contacts, what do you use for that? Carbon brushes or copper? Do you experience some voltage drop while using the slipring? - The autorun module is genius! But are you still able to manually control it? It would be awesome if you were able to switch between auto and manual mode! :) - If you are going to change the angle of the lift / head, how do you keep control over the right height for the arms? Very curious to the next video(s)!

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis thing is going to be insane! There's one thing I notice; on most pictures the floor has cracks. The plates don't seem to actually fit perfect together, or do they? Can't wait for the final video!!

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis thing is a beast! Once you think this spider is already super cool, then the TS comes with new ideas. Brilliant!!! One question: I'm curious to how you made the drag contact to the main cilinder. Can you show us a picture of how you did that?

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingLooks really good! Wouldn't it be easier to just add another 4 rubber wheels (and maybe extra motors), and less cheaty? In the video you can see the head lifted up, but is that the maximum, or can it go higher? What is approximately the +/- speed of the crosses while using the middle ring? Let us know when you are on the next event! Unfortunately I missed Lego World Utrecht. I really wanna see this beast in action! Looking forward to a good quality video!

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI was wondering how you did the connection between the arms and the head. I see you used ball joints. But don't these have a very tight fit? I would say you need a loose fit. And maybe a strange question: Did you glue any parts? I can imagine the kind of forces the internal gear system has to handle and with such forces, the lego pieces are pushed apart.

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSame here!

Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think the technical side of your project is really great, but have you considered to use motors in the arms in stead of your gear system? And second; This must cost you like tons of battery's right? How do you deal with that?
-
Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGreat. I was already thinking that inside the cilinder there isn't enough room. Do the other arms (that rotate after those joints) run as smooth as the main ones?
-
Subblaffer replied to Techniccrack's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAwesome work Techniccrack! I was wondering how you did the transmission from the two arms that have the gear system to the other four arms.

Hi everybody! Subblaffer here, from Holland. After roughly 25 years of not playing with Lego my mother came visit me and she brought my old big box of totally unorganised Lego! That was two years ago and I immediately started rebuilding the latest thing I could remember. As a kid I always built amusement rides with Lego Technic, so I decided to make this ride: The Discovery (picture below). I ordered the new XL motors, because my old ones, from the 80's... wel they still worked, but almost powerless... :) So, I had some fun building this two years ago and I thought of building The Turbo Polyp / Octopus / Spider. I also built that one as a kid, but very basic; 4 arms, no moving crosses / seats and a fixed lift for the head. Then I saw this guy's MOC. INSANE!! So I'm now trying to build my version of this ride. Trying... just a technical noob rediscovering an old hobby... :)
