Andrea,

Excellent model! Nice to see someone else also constructed a mixer truck.

Seems that your model is fully operational. Did you have to cope come
difficulties with the drumm? (shape, connection, motorization etc.).

I'm curious to your next project!

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).
