That guy has made over L16,000 from that single listing, which is equal to almost $27,000. Holy sh**.
If I just throw my Youtube channel link here, i'll leave you to watch and comment as you please. Please do comment, mind.Nice, I shall look into these, also does anyone want me to do a tutorial on how to make a strong bot design?

DP: Just thought I'd mention, you could make my type of design with the old technic and it in fact would be better because you can attach armour plates and stuffThe armour plates do nothing but look good when they fly off; the add no structural integrity whatsoever.
A MAJOR EDIT: An idea has just sprung to mind, how about we each do a tutorial, you can do about the old technic and ill do the new one?
Looking at the flipper. you could try having springs or the suspension springs. Have the motor set to force the flipper down then signal it to turn off. This would cause a build up of energy released quicker than the electric motors would allow on there own.Thats a really good idea, but in reality, it burns out the motors completely and with the Lego coils I have, it doesn't spring much :(
Also, just been looking at some vids, how do you get pistons? Hurricane's flipper is badassYou can get pneumatics by buying one of the current technic models that use it, or if you don't have £70 you can get them from an american site called Bricklink. They are sold separately, so you'll have to buy valves, pistons, a pump, air tanks, pipes etc. They aren't too powerful, mind you. Pressure (you'll find that in one of my latest videos in which it isn't named) is almost the pinnacle of power really, if it used the largest pistons it would be better however it would only flip twice or so then. Its all about balance.

This would cause a build up of energy released quicker than the electric motors would allow on there own.Sorry to burst your bubble, but quick-release mechanisms are large and difficult to miniaturise, and the motor itself would resist the release of the energy from the springs/rubber bands. It isn't possible at this level, but at larger scale it is; search for LegoMasterFreak or Lego Gladiators on YouTube and look at his flippers. Remember also those are 3x the size and almost 4x the weight if I remember correctly.
I see, I will look out for them, thanks :mrgreen:No problem :D
i mean this is kinda real robotics i guess maybe sortaMeh, I wouldn't call it that.

I want to see somebody build a Lego shell spinner with those UFO flying saucer pieces.Sounds fun, but sadly, the closest we could get to a shell is a cage, as Lego is as limited as minecraft with regards to the shapes available. I'd try, but I don't have the pieces, nor money to buy them.
Still looks cool, could you make the crusher powered by gas and pistons? I think if you could get a good force into that, it could easily destroy some botsI want to see somebody build a Lego shell spinner with those UFO flying saucer pieces.Sounds fun, but sadly, the closest we could get to a shell is a cage, as Lego is as limited as minecraft with regards to the shapes available.

Anyway, failed bot:Was supposed to be an upgrade to stag, but the crusher arm bends and pokes more than stabs. Back to the drawing board.
