  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) That was from LEGOWorld, October 2003 in Holland. It was an automated car assembly line, consisting of RCX controlled work carriers that travelled from cell to cell across a number of cells. Each cell had a selection of parts that it added in (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Hey guys- I just found out something on the new technic crane that'll be coming out this Fall. According to one site, this model will be out in August, at a price of over $150.00. But I guess with such a high price, the model will be good. Here is (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Pneumatic switching circuits
 
(...) I thought that might be what it was. (...) It all started when JP Brown (famous for his Rubik Cube Solver out of LEGO), made the bold statement that you could not do boolean logic using LEGO pneumatics, because of the switches. Inutitively I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
Nathanial Kuipers- Very nice crane! Did you build it out of one or two sets of 8436? (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) Wow, It's the first time I regretted not buying <set:8436>. The model is obviously better than the original 8436, if you have plans to make instructions for it PLEASE let us know while this set is still available, because for me such (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
Hello Nathanael, You are really an incredible builder! Everything here is outstanding: functionnality, design, quality of photography... I'd like to know how much time you spent on this wonder. I guess it would take me much more time simply trying (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
how do you do that? ???...??? With pieces from ONE set? I always run out of pieces or need another one of that piece (etc.). Yours look like they all belong there. Lego would have sold a lot more sets if this was the model I think. Steve (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) Oh wow... Great model, and great photography! I'm totally amazed at people who can build in Technic, and it's even more impressive that you only used parts from 8436! Looks like an official model. Instructions? :) -Bryan (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) You really have quite a wide range of talent. Not only do you do good sports cars, but you have done robots, boats, people, trucks- all out of Lego kits. Maybe now you can start building construction vehicles. I assume you did not use a winch (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
I'm pretty sure that soon you'll find a black, unmarked vehicle at your doorstep, from where two men in suits will emerge to ask you to join the Lego development group. Failure to comply will result in a direct assasination, since we all know (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Allow me to vent... When I was a kid the only frustrating (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Wouldn't it be great if LEGO started making fan created alternate model (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Modifying set 5600 (RC Racer)
 
I just picked up a used set 5600 (Radio Control Racer), thinking that I would take the wheels off, put a gearbox in to gear it down, and add some treads or fat tires, making a more tank-like vehicle my young son would be able to control. Sadly, I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That is really, really good - it has the essence/spirit of the real thing. It makes me want to break open the 8436 I have and build your model. Jennifer (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Using Jennifer Clark's idea
 
Thanks for the namecheck Nathan, I'm looking forward to seeing this model when you have completed it. I got the idea for the concentric drive in the small excavator from Issac Merkle, who had used a differential for this on a robot arm. TJ then (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
 
  MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
Being inspired by the 4100 cranetruck, I decided to build another one a bit more challenging. So I transformed the 8436 truck into another cranetruck: (URL) It has many functions like pneumatic boom and stands, rotating cabin and ofcourse steering. (...)

  Using Jennifer Clark's idea
 
I am re-designing my track-hoe, and to do so I need to use one of your ideas. On your track-hoe, you have two shafts going through the turntable- one solid shaft and one hollow shaft. I originally intended to use a differential piece for the hollow (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
