Oh man! I'm sorry! Thanks for the slide though :P jojoguy10

My project is Final! link jojoguy10

HOLY COW! One motor and 8 functions?!?! AWESOME MAN! :-D

Awesome boat! Too bad LEGO doesn't make a speed control switch. That would be awesome! :-D Good luck! jojoguy10

Yes...it's an AWESOME work of machinery, mechanics, and engineering! :-D

Oh, sorry. I don't know why. Here's a link to my Picasa album: https://picasaweb.google.com/118373039699891060648/LEGOFalkirkWheel?authuser=0&feat=directlink First post updated. Thanks for catching that! :-D

Oh, LOL! BIG difference!

Hmmmm...maybe, but I wanted to try to stick with the original mechanism. But I see what you mean. I also tried using the speed controller, and that worked....sort of. Sometimes, it would only power ONE of the motors. Too confusing. That's why it's so fast. Plus, I was using M-size motors :-)

Actually....you need ALL 3 (3 on each tower) to be the same size for the mechanism to work. That way it's always a 1:1 ratio :-)

Ya....that was my VERY first idea.....but I don't have SIX of those :-( (I don't even have ONE )

I Googled it (best friend!) and came up with this: Is this correct timr?

Cool! I, sadly, have never been on it (or even in Scotland for that matter )

HAHA! Maybe :)

Thanks! I know it's not much to look at, but I AM done :-). I'm hoping that I'll win with creativity more than the actual build, but we'll see :-) jojoguy10

Did you know one of the architects of the Falkirk Wheel (Tony Gee) originally made the gearing mechanism out of LEGO? [1] The Falkirk Wheel is a "boat elevator" in Scotland. It was opened on May 24th, 2002 by Queen Elizabeth II. [2] This is just a bunch of random facts. Let's get down to my build: This is it. The specs: 2 PF Battery Boxes 2 PF Switches 4 PF M-Motors 2 PF IR Receivers 6 short turntables A bunch of panels (but not enough in the same color ) A bunch of (mainly) 24t gears And a bunch of other parts There are more pictures in my Picasa folder here: https://picasaweb.google.com/118373039699891060648/LEGOFalkirkWheel?authuser=0&feat=directlink First Video: Second Video: https://vimeo.com/37868205 Thanks for taking a look at it!

Cool! I already have 4 possible ideas! jojoguy10

Hey fellow FOL's! I just had this great idea that I think would be a cool feature! I'm not sure if it's even possible, but is it possible for the forum itself to automatically "sense" LEGO Set Numbers and create links to their respective Brickset page? I think this would be really helpful for new members of the LEGO community, or even if you can't remember that set. Just a thought. jojoguy10

Just found this on Technic Delicatessen. It's a video from YT user sunnykoo explaining HIS view of the crane truck and the crawler. Already posted on my blog! jojoguy10

Hello there. I don't know what features your going to add soon, but I think it would be cool that, as you look at the inventory of a set, you can see how many you NEED along with how many you HAVE in your "Sets" or "Parts" libraries. Can't wait to see the new improvements! :-D jojoguy10

Hey there! I thought of a cool feature that is not yet on Rebrickable: Export "My Parts" or "My Sets" to a Peeron or Bricklink, or Brickset format. jojoguy10

My Youtube My Blog My ReBrickable You can also see some other people's blogs and websites, etc. at my blog: http://techn-xt.blogspot.com/p/good-websites-and-blogs.html jojoguy10

I just finished taking inventory of all my Technic parts into Rebrickable! Can't wait for the new "Build with 'My Parts'" feature! :-D jojoguy10

Oh, thanks! jojoguy10
