Hi lego fans,
I presented this model in Legoworld 2002, then after a little restailing in
some estetics particular, I show you the result.
The model is a Mercedes Actros 4143 cement mixer, in techinc figure scale (
about 1:21/22) equiped by RCX and some pneumatics functions

RCX supports mainly the line following function .
Further, by using remote LEGO control during the program start up, it’s
possible to store in some arrays values of steering, direction and distance
to define a fixed task

Air for pneumatic circuit is supplied by an indipendent compressor unit,
inside a big  “Atlas Copco” generator (decals in progres).

(...) Hey! That's a really cool function not seen in a modelteam MOC before AFAIK! (...) I've been considering building a trailer of some sort when mind-planning a few MOC's in order to fit all stuff and still be able to remote control the MOC. Your (...)
