FUT: lugnet.technic Hi all! I've decided the Technic genre needs a boost so I have made a Technic model of the month competition/challenge similar to ldraw.org's MOTM & SOTM. Each month a winner will be elected by an e-mail voting process. For more (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)

(...) How about a grand prix style system? Using the three catagories in your rules Tobbe, detail, function and looks, list the month's entry's best to worse for each catagory. The entry coming top in detail gets five points for detail, second place (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Great idea Tobbe! A couple of questions / clarifications: 1. 100% pure lego is quite a restriction. The problems I'd have with that is string, rubber bands, and possibly weights and stickers (though I've never used stickers yet). Are such (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I hope cranes are allowed. It would be just terrible if they weren't ;-) (...) If you're going to allow cranes, you'll need to allow the use of string to: 1. connect spool(s) to lifting hook(s) 2. connect spool(s) to main boom and jib 3. all (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

One more thing on Non-Lego parts. What about the use of remote control equipment? I've entered my tractor, but I completely forgot that I've used HiTechnic's R/C unit. I know there are several builders out there that use this particular device in (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Am I that predictable?? 8?) Well, after entering it, I realised there's another 100% LEGO question that needs clarification - I used legOS for the RCXs. Is this allowed? Does it disqualify the remote control from being 100% LEGO? ROSCO (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
