FUT: lugnet.technic Hi! Here's yet another Tehnic genre booster! Challenge: Build a model that can pull as much load as possible using pieces from _only_one_ official LEGO set! One class for each set so you can all be winners, no matter what set you (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)

(...) number of possible sets. Obviously, sets with motors will be top choice, followed by sets with pneumatics. Will you allow the addition of 1 motor, and nothing else, to sets that don't come with one? In particular, the 4x4 off roader (set 8466) (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

Great idea! But I have an observation. Why not make it _just_two_ official lego sets. This permits an unmotorized set to be combined with 8735 for example or a motorized set to be added to a pneumatic set. I think the possible hybrids might be very (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I thought about it and decided - no. There will be a lot of classes as is and even the motor expansion packs are welcome to enter :) /Tobbe (URL) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This is worth thinking of, but as is I don't want mixes to keep the number of classes down. Perhaps with time there will be one class for two sets. Another class that would be rather fun is "one rule PP" with the one rule: 100% pure unmodifed (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm assuming the string, pulley, and weight don't have to be included in the set? ROSCO (22 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

Does this have to be a commercially available set? There is a scaled up model of a Lego Racer in Hamley's of London window. Wheels are about 2 feet in diameter and powered by a 240V mains motor - should be able to beat all comers!!! If I can get (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It has to have an inventory at Peeron so you'll need to get one up there first :) (...) Well, there is one class per set e.g. you wont compete with the other sets :) /Tobbe (URL) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

Tobbe Arnesson: Instead of using a single Lego set the parameters should be 1-4 motors and the type of tires used. The amount of Lego shouldn't matter. Only Lego should be used and no other weight materials added. There should be weight classes. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You've missed the point of the competition. Each set has it's own class. The challenge is to get the most out of the parts you are given. I think the current rules are fine. What you have described would be a completely different competition. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
