Ooh, I like the look of the suspension a lot! The use of the ball joint at the top of the strut is really cool Also, it looks like you traced out the silhouette of the car on those baseplates? That's a neat technique!

I love this model! So ambitious, and so different from your typical Technic car, both in scale, and in being studfull

Yeah, I've thought about that too. I would honestly prefer for the rule to be that you have to put your entry at the top, because that would actually incentivize voting. I do still vote, though, in the spirit of sportsmanship, and I do have confidence that other people do as well Yeah, and even if there are some people who would "rig" things like that, I'd guess that there'd be some correlation between that attitude and a low-quality entry, so it would still probably not make much difference

Makes sense, thanks!

Looking forward to voting! I opened up the voting website, though, and it appears that the 19 entries are given points ranging from 1-19, rather than maxing out at 15 points as said here: Is that how it's supposed to be, or is there an issue?

I always like seeing 3D-printed parts in use! That's nice that you're still able to use the original rear tire, too, though it would probably eventually deform (Though that's not a concern for everyone)

Do you have plans to continue writing updates? I'd love to see how the build progressed!

That looks impressive, and is very nicely presented!

Yeah, very quirky and fun!

Wow, the rotating destination signs are really cool! It might be an awfully long bus ride between some of those destinations, though!

14T gears, yay! I think that's my favorite/most underrated part!

There definitely is an app you can use with the MouldKing units, and there is some programmability, but from what I see, it's really rudimentary with just timers, basically, and no remote control. This has me wondering if there's a newer version than what I have, though. I'll have to look into it!

Wow, interesting model! I like that you put more effort into the bodywork than a typical trial truck has I'm a bit confused by the suspension, though. It looks more like a double-wishbone suspension set on an angle than a proper tatra suspension. Is that right? If so, why did you choose to build it that way?

Yeah, those don't look ideal, so if what you have is working, that should be good!

Wow, well that's big! The radar mechanism is definitely cool, and performance does seem impressive for the size!

Cool project! I remember hearing that a larger layer height for 3D prints was stronger, because you have fewer joints to break. Do you think implies that using a smaller nozzle also makes a weaker print? I'm not sure, but if it does, I'd think a project like this would need strength over precision. Not that I really understand what you're doing, but it's a thought I had! As for hiding photos, I assume you're talking about the spoiler feature? If so, it's activated by a little eye icon at the top of the text box. I'm not seeing it on mobile right now, but it's at least there on PC

Neat idea! The trailer will definitely be a cool addition You know, I'm not sure how easy this would be to do, but once the contest is done, you could always build a new cab modeling a real-world truck, and use all your accessories and chassis along with that! That's only true until one of the legs hits the ground, though--after that, it'll naturally be easier for it to deploy the other leg. It might look a little funny if only one leg moves at a time, but I think otherwise it'll work fine

Ooh, nice! And cheap, too! I recall you saying you were going to sell it at cost, and that price definitely reflects that! Also, I recently finished reading the ebook, and found it quite educational! I've built a few basic Lego clocks before, but the book introduced me to much more advanced things than I knew existed!

Cool! I don't recall any situations where I needed a centrifugal clutch, but if I did, something like this would work well! Maybe with LPEs?

Truck-Mounted Forklift Functions: HOG Rear-wheel steering Knob-operated front wheel 90 degree turning (Sideways drive mode) Knob-operated mast sliding (Forward and backward) Knob-operated mast lift Knob-operated mast tilt Knob-operated scissor-fork-extend mechanism Manual fork side-to-side sliding

Wow, that is really interesting! I have a hard time imagining what I'd use that for, but it's really neat! (Also quite a clever MOC with the torque wrench. I was impressed by the click mechanism for it, and thought, "if only it ratcheted, but I guess he couldn't fit that in such a small space." To my amazement, though, it did have a ratcheting mechanism after all!)

Ooh, very cool! I'll have to remember that! I think I've done that before--was that just from 2018 on, or was it a one-off design before going back to a larger one?

It's been a while since I thought about that! If I remember correctly, kingpin inclination is similar to caster in that it relates to the angle of the steering axis, but instead of being tilted in the front-back plane, it's a tilt in the left-right plane: So in this picture, the red line would be the kingpin inclination, while the blue line would be vertical. Note that the wheel is tilted at a different angle than the steering axis, because the camber of the wheel is different than the kingpin inclination. Is that helpful?

Oof, that's rough about the battery! I hope my 6.0 hub holds up better than that...

Oh, to clarify, I just meant that while I've seen RC models like you linked, I've never seen display-focused builds modeling what those robots look like
