Hey guys, this is my latest MOC. Been working on this MOC for a long time. Apart from it's appearance the biggest difference with its predecessor is the integration of an EV3 in the turret. That took quite a bit of work because the EV3 unit and the Mindstorms motors are so much bigger than the PF ones. Had a hard time building a turret that was roughly the same size as the previous one. The main reason for wanting to include the EV3 was because I wanted the gun barrel to be self-stabilizing, that is keeping its elevation regardless of the elevation of the hull. Its implementation can be improved upon. While it does its job adequately, the mechanism should operate faster. At the moment it works like this: take measurement → compare measurement with previous measurement → adjust the barrel accordingly → take new measurement, etc. This cycle can take upto 10 seconds to complete, depending on the difference in elevation, which is too long really. But this time around the main objective was to get it working in the first place. It was my first attempt at making a program for the EV3, which was more difficult than I had expected. I have some ideas on how to improve it, but that will have to wait for a bit. Now I've made videos about LEGO tanks before. However this one is a little different because I also set out to include something of a story in this video. It's also my first video where I had multiple people collaborating with me on different parts. That is besides my best friend, Depipro, who has helped me before. Hope you will like it.
