The LEGO Story 80th anniversary

17 minutes to know this "epic" history...

The House of GBC

Rick Katsumata present his latest creation in the GBC field.... a House!!

The Ultimate GBC train loader module

Akiyuky keep growing the awesomeness of his GBC modules, note that there's only one motor and it is inside the "train" all the rest of the movements where pure mechanical.

Another perfect clockwork, congratulations Akiyuky!

Technic Trebuchet

I don't have an official future projects list but the trebuchet is "virtually" in it, during the documentation process I've found this video of a Lego technic trebuchet, featuring technic figures, and I can't resist to share it.

There's lots of Lego examples of this medieval siege equipment in youtube. If my plans work as planed soon I will show a minifig-scale one for the Hispalug medieval dioramas ( and more medieval equipment) and a technic "big" scale one, to test maximum range....

Tracked crawler carrier from Makorol

Makorol upload this photos from between 30 Dec 2009 & 02 Jan 2010.

So this is a fantastic creation that you might not noted... a Crawler Carrier:

Good machinery looking.

Nice details in the "bucket".

Seems really fun, it would be a pleasure to drive and to play with it, about the model the high attention to the details and the nice piece usage mixed with the creative building techniques used in it make the model look just great.

I just realised that there's a video of this creation in movement!!

Enjoy the crawler moving and showing it's mechanisms.

Functional LEGO Wheelchair

This creation is simply awesome, I never figured that Lego technic frame can do this... A human real scale functional vehicle...

In Burf's words:

"Currently still a prototype, the LEGO Wheelchair can move a 90kg person.

It uses 6 NXT's to drive 12 NXT motors (2 per NXT for maximum power output) which are connected to 12 Rotacaster multi-directional wheels. Using these wheels will later allow for side to side movement(strafing).

There is a master NXT which controls the 6 NXT via turning on/off touch sensors. The joystick is connected to 4 touch sensors to determine direction (forward, backwards, turn left, turn right). 

The master NXT then turns 2 motors (left / right side) different directions which turn on / off 12 touch sensors (2 per NXT for backwards / forwards)."
