[TC6] Secret Project

[filsawgood]

Cool projet! Excellent implementation of forms!

[Omikron]

is there inside also a working turbine (eg. propeler went), or only lights?

There was one in early stages of development, but it required additional constantly working motor. At this point it was a debatable topic in the rules section. It would be very cool, but as build was progressing I realized that nobody would see it inside. So I used that space for some gearing.

Спасибо товарищ! One of my best inspirations - Russian aircrafts

happy To know that It was a mistake ;) I don't like really much airplanes But I think You'll have some points from me :3 because It is an awesome MOC :)

[Appie]

I'll be honest: I hated the first 4 pages of this topic showing not a single piece of real Lego, but awesome MOC is awesome. Great work

Thank you. It is still WIP of some sort. Minor adjustments.

Now to the LDD I go

UPD. I hate LDD, and now I remember why. I've spent 30 minutes trying to move one brick on top of another and spent another 30 minutes to find out it is impossible in LDD. It simply has no option to raise or lower bricks freely! The workaround is somewhat beyond me. You need to place and remove connection bricks all the time or manipulate the floors position by deleting lowest brick in your model.

Who the hell does that in a 3d designing tool? You can move bricks on X and Y, but not Z. Why LEGO, why?

Any reasonable alternatives?

My internal voice tell me to stop building my TC6 entry - there is nohing to catch there anyomore:)

I saw you comic book in the beggining, but was not sure if I saw something like that in the end:))) great work!'

[MSc Shobaki]

I think you move in Z-axis using the scroll on your mouse. I have LDD, but somehow I do CAD-models in SR3D.

That is at least how you do it in SR3D :D

[Lipko]

I see no country restrictions on your video.

BTW to check video restriction, you can do the following:

Copy this link to the URL bar:

gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/XXXXXXXXXXX?v=2&prettyprint=true

Replace the red X part with the video's 11 character code (it's the end of the whole video link)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=niMpC8dnjQI

So you'll have this:

gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/niMpC8dnjQI?v=2&prettyprint=true

Press enter, then an XML file will be downloaded. You can open it with Firefox for example, and look for something like this:

<media:restriction type="country" relationship="deny">DE</media:restriction>

If you don't find this line, then there's no country restriction on your video. If it's restricted in more countries, all those countries' codes will be listed there separated by spaces.

I use this method for choosing music that's not restricted. I don't know if it's a 100% certain method, maybe video's uploaded long ago can get through this restriction thing.

If you want to make a digital verison of the model, I would really, really recommend LDraw for Technic models.

I can really recommend SR3D Builder, or LDcad. If you need any help, you can always post a topic in the LDD/LDraw subforum or PM me

Thank you! I just started building it in LeoCAD. Works amazingly comfortable. Hope to completely build mechanics today.

it works now - thank you!

Amazing stunning MOC .

You got mine vote.

Not only the shape of the Saab is great, but all the function in it are even greater :thumbup:

Edit mine post,

I read Lipko post and looked at the rules and think he has right.

Still like the model

Edited February 13, 2015 by VFracingteam

[Lipko]

Awesome model by the way, but in the context of this contest that's all about remote controlling, a model that's either stationary or can be hold in your hand (thus there's no point in remote controlling it) just doens't deserve to win in my opinion.

Sorry to say that.

[Omikron]

Do you expect LEGO planes to fly ?

It seems to me that everyone interprets words in different ways. Just like people who read the bible. For example I thought that the contest is about using remotely controlled functions by utilizing 4 outputs which, I did. Besides I can hold pretty much ANY of 99% lego MOCs in my hand (I have big strong hands ) so I really can't see your point here. Could you rephrase that?

functions of The sbricks are: proportional control, operating with sunlight and The possibility To use more than 4 channel simultaneously. There is no need of those functions in your creation because it is static, You control it standing near, And there is no need for more than 8 function, like for example a race with many cars with 4 functions or machinary working together (side loaders trucks and skid steer loaders)

so sbrick isn't really important for this creation

Edited February 13, 2015 by PKW

[Omikron]

Those are advantages, not functions. Function is remote control - means no wire or lever. Just like IR receiver. Besides "near" is a very subjective term. It's not a digit. Copenhagen is near or next door is near. Who decides what is important and what is not?

There is no rule for controlling distance, no rule for "it must move around" and no rule for "Sbrick MUST be important for this MOC"

As far as I know this MOC fits within the rules perfectly.

Edited February 13, 2015 by Omikron

[PKW]

mi sembra ovvio che un sbrick non migliori tanto la tua costruzione in quanto tutti i vantaggi che ha rispetto ad una ricevente a infrarossi normale non siano sfruttati da una creazione come questa, senza toglire nulla al fatto che sia una bellissima costruzione, questo non è per dire che non stai rispettando le regole ma per spiegare ciò che lipko intendeva per controllo a distanza, una creazione statica non si addice molto ad un concorso per vincere un pezzo che serve proprio per migliorare le funzionalità di radiocontrollo della creazione.

sorry for the italian, il someone can translate what I wrote or understand what i want To Say please PM it and i'll edit the post, sorry if I'm not really good with english :(

please don't use Google translate it makes more mistakes than me with traslating ahahahah

@Omikron video works from Germany as well now

Fantastic functions. I especially like the vectoring in the back. That's really really cool.

Yes, this MOC fits the rules perfectly, I just think that the concept/idea itself is not the best fit for this particular contest. And for a winner MOC, in my opinion, the concept/idea has to be good too, not just the evaluation, looks etc. Without the context of this particular contest, this model is awesome. I just don't think the winning of this model would be fair against entries that much better match the spirit of this contest.

[Omikron]

Let me bring an analogy along. IR receiver vs Sbrick. Lets take cars. VW beatle (IR receiver) and VW golf gti (sbrick). They both can can utilize all my needs. And one has some advantages over another. So you guys are trying to tell me that I am doing something wrong, since VW golf gti does more than I need ? That my needs do not fit the spirit of VW golf gti?

Sounds like communism to me.

I don't think that the whole "fits / deserves" thing belongs to any MOC, not only in this contest. I personally think it is a very wrong concept.

For example http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=105527 Does this one fit the spirit? Does it deserve to win? You can't just decide that it does or does not.

Edited February 13, 2015 by Omikron

we are not talking about wrong or right nor about absolute truth, only opinions and The spirit of the contest ;)

[Lipko]

For example http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=105527 Does this one fit the spirit? Does it deserve to win? You can't just decide that it does or does not.

Another good example. But you don't have to worry, my comments won't influence anything. Let's finish this debate here, and post some more pictures so that the debate is not the last thing people will see in this topic.

And I repeat myself: this is an awesome MOC by itself.

[5imon]

I don't think that Omikron's creation does not fit the "spirit" of the contest or that it does not utilize or "need" an sbrick.

Granted, the use of remote control is somewhat more stringent on a moving vehicle than on a "static" object. But i'd rather have a static object remote controlled than having ugly controls sticking out of its body. And why not use an sbrick that uses up way less space than two IR receivers and can be placed invisibly inside the object?

I'm sorry, but I can't avoid the impression that some people here just want to badmouth a MOC that is just great and has good chances to win a prize. And that's what is, in my opinion, REALLY against the spirit of this (and any other) competition.
