aminnich Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 ok that is what I thought, thanks for clarifying Quote
PKW Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 if I can put 3 motors on one output ? I can change that ! and use 2 recievers I'm sorry, I mean that you can use the same color outputs From 2 receivers, but checking the rules I think you can use only 2 receiver, wait an answer from jim for a better point of wiew Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Did I post everithing right Jim ? http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=103541 can i use a Sbrick for this Lego Experience ? Again it's a 2010 moc....not allowed!! Quote
Jim Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Again it's a 2010 moc....not allowed!! Where did you find this MOC? Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Simply by clicking on the Youtube link to watch it.... and in the description there is "uploaded on 08 oct 2010" with 5.000 views...a bit too much for a few hours uploaded video Quote

At the moment I made a WIP topic for my entry but I forgot to put WIP on the name but I tagged it with WIP. When I finish my entry, can I make a new topic for it saying (final version) Let's stick to a single discussion topic. I know it used to be a WIP topic, but I purposely called it a discussion topic in recent contests. There's no need to include WIP in the title. As a matter of fact, I even remove the [WIP] part....most of the time. Did I post everithing right Jim ? http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=103541 can i use a Sbrick for this Lego Experience ? Nope. Basically you did a lot of things wrong. You didn't read the rules about using output ports, you didn't create a discussion topic and you didn't use a new MOC, but an existing one. It's a simple a matter of reading the rules.... Quote

Nazgarot Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Hi, Are parts from the Znap line allowed? I've never seen any Znap sets (They only existed for two years in my dark age), but I have a part from that line I want to use... It's not vital, but adds a nice extra function. -ED- Quote
Appie Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Feel free to burn me for this question, but I was wondering after seeing some entries whether it is allowed that the gearbox is manual? I just assumed it had to be remote controlled as well, but I am not sure from reading the rules. Sorry if it has been asked before, I read all of this topic the past few weeks, but don't remember it all :D It doesn't matter for my entry, it's going to have a rc gearbox, just wondered for others.

It's actually a good question. The idea is obviously that the gearbox is powered by a motor, so you can operate the model remotely. But I haven't explicitly mentioned it in the rules. Are there lots of entries already using a manual gearbox? Quote

But I haven't explicitly mentioned it in the rules. Are there lots of entries already using a manual gearbox? I think 2 or 3. I thought that was the intend as well to have a remote controlled gearbox since you even mentioned the 8043 gearbox as an example and the gearbox stuff wasn't listed at manual functions, but since Omikron already linked a reply from Blakbird I suppose it is fine. Either way sorry for missing Blakbird's response. Edited January 18, 2015 by Appie Quote

Lipko Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Excuse me if it was already covered, but can one post pictures in the entry topic of the model as if it had SBrick instead of IR receivers? Obviously this applies to contestants without SBrick. I, for one, could not place the receivers nicely but the SBrick could be inserted pretty much anywhere inside the model (this is one of the advantages of the SBrick over the IR). For this reason I would like to take the pictures without the ugly IR receivers. Edited January 18, 2015 by Lipko Quote
PKW Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Also it is possible with one placeholder of the sbrick? We Could show how better will be our creation with sbrick Quote

Also it is possible with one placeholder of the sbrick? We Could show how better will be our creation with sbrick Yup Quote
D3K Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Yes, that's in the spirit of the contest. Assuming you reserved some space inside your model. Yup One would still need to attach IR receivers somewhere to demonstrate the functions in the mandatory video in the entry topic though, right? So I take it as for the still pictures, no IR receivers are OK (as long as it's certain there's room for an sBrick inside somewhere, but to demonstrate, you need the IR receivers, even if they're just attached at some random place on the outside of the model? Quote
Jim Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Correct. For the video you will still need the IR receivers. If you need to place them outside the model, it's ok. Quote
paul3396 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) can i use LDD? Edited January 20, 2015 by paul3396 Quote

Jim Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Sorry to be so blunt, but please read the rules. Most of the rules are in there. Quote
