Jim Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 ...but I'd hate to see all the entries being either mobile-, tower-, harbour-, or crawler cranes I would love to see several tower cranes!! Especially interesting to see different builders, solve the same problems. The best will definitely get my vote Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) So can we do a nasa skycrane ? Sky cranes are not allowed as the emphasis needs to be on the crane. Edited September 7, 2015 by Milan Quote
Rishab N Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Just so we're clear can it be something like the 8436? It has no other function other than the crane Also great contest idea, should result in some interesting entries Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) What is the judging criteria? Is it aesthetics? The ability to lift the most weight? The tallest crane? Best replica? Just to make the crane that is better than the others :) Voters will decide. Obtaining any of the achievements you mentioned is certainly a plus! Just so we're clear can it be something like the 8436? It has no other function other than the crane Also great contest idea, should result in some interesting entries Exactly like 8436 is not allowed, since it cannot hoist. Also, The emphasis needs to be on the crane. So make the model that, when someone sees it, says: "Wow look at that crane!" and just then, few moments later: "Oh, it sits on a truck!" :) Edited September 7, 2015 by Milan Quote
Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Hmm, Cranes, cool! LOL Quote
D3K Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 There's just so much to choose from. I for one can't decide between these: or or Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 There's just so much to choose from. I for one can't decide between these: Hmm, its ok, but please note that right now they have a grab attachment, they need to have some hoist mechanism :) Quote
D3K Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Hmm, its ok, but please note that right now they have a grab attachment, they need to have some hoist mechanism :) Hmm, could probably be arranged.. I'd have to do some real life testing first, before adopting it to Lego.. I'll let you know how it goes Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh this is my contest!!! Can't wait to build a tower crane!!! Quote
Cumulonimbus Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I have been discussing this with Milan. Allowing al previous LDD created MOCs isn't entirely fair, but we feel a bit sorry for you. On the other hand; you can probably create something similar (without exactly copying) in real bricks. Thanks for the opportunity, I will consider this my plan B. I have another (twin) project in my mind, I will focus on this first. This contest is a nice excuses to actually finish a MOC . One question though, what is the motivation for the mandatory video? Does it need to explain the functions or do you consider it as a sort of a proof of authenticity? Quote
dr_spock Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 There's just so much to choose from. I for one can't decide between these: or or Why not build both? Day 152 of 365: Watch Out the Crane by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Quote
Nick Barrett Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Great timing! I'm building a large Liebherr right now, but it was started well before this was announced. Is it OK to enter ? It hasn't been completed yet or seen elsewhere. Quote

It hasn't been completed yet or seen elsewhere. If it was not posted before, it is perfectly ok. In fact, now as you teased with the big Liebherr, you must enter! :) Quote
Omikron Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Sooooooooo... Speaking of lifting, cranes and stuff... Quote
dr_spock Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) This could be a way to display your entry and demonstrate boom and chassis strength. Edited September 7, 2015 by dr_spock Quote
Jim Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 This could be a way to display your entry and demonstrate boom and chassis strength. Sweet! Sooooooooo... Speaking of lifting, cranes and stuff... Craneception Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh this is my contest!!! Can't wait to build a tower crane!!! And I can't wait to give you some of my 26 points. Make it happen Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh this is my contest!!! Can't wait to build a tower crane!!! Arent you going with your mega-Knuckleboom-lots-of-thin-long-penumatics-in-three-version-marvel-crane? :) I was really looking forward to see that monster! what is the motivation for the mandatory video? Does it need to explain the functions or do you consider it as a sort of a proof of authenticity? Both :) And we want to enjoy in observing all those great cranes in motion. As with every video of the moc, try to present your model the best you can, with all the functions, modes, features etc. Sooooooooo... Speaking of lifting, cranes and stuff... Hey, Leo was at Liebherr show also? Edited September 7, 2015 by Milan Quote
MaxSupercars Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 This will be VERY VERY VERY interesting contest! I'm looking forward for interesting entries and new ideas! :P Max... Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Glad you like it, Max! I am eager to see the entries, too! Quote
syclone Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Ca I use my android Sony smartphone as a bluetooth controller to NXT? 'cause just don't have more remote control things:(I Sorry, I have found a solution to that problem. Edited September 7, 2015 by LXF Quote
jorgeopesi Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Wow great challenge for me to learn more about cranes . Quote
aminnich Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I have been building all day!!! I cant stop haha I have crane fever now Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 @ Milan: they work very well actually and they sit on a 8X8 chassis with leafs springs! But as I've shown them already (even if a little of) they won't be "never seen before"! @ Jim: thanks Jim, this time I won't disappoint you asi didn't make the TC7, Sariel got me a it upset that time and also disappointed with that request of closing my post down! I have an Idea for a special tower crane! But let's talk about it when I post some pics! Quote
Milan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 @ Milan: they work very well actually and they sit on a 8X8 chassis with leafs springs! But as I've shown them already (even if a little of) they won't be "never seen before"! You can always enter with a "fourth" version of that crane, based on the similar design. I would really like to see it, but a proper tower crane would be awesome as well! Quote
Nick Barrett Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 If it was not posted before, it is perfectly ok. In fact, now as you teased with the big Liebherr, you must enter! :) In that case, count me in! Thanks Milan. Quote
