"holo holo get dolla" HAHA very creative

[acooper]

I wish I could build some of the things I see
Posted in this thread
I could ask someone to help me
but I would rather figure it out instead

As far as props go
I don't make things out of lots
This poem is fairly lame so
Here are a few screenshots

no one understood because it was a dumb joke and jokes like that with a salt of sarcasm rarely translates properly on text / the internet.

[RedReaper]

daewoos suck.

Jesus christ what is with the idiocy flooding this thread

[Drury]

Got to admit, that was a dumb joke.

Guess kibbles was right, it's spreading.

[WoodenSpoon]

Anyone have an idea as to why my mech is not turning enough to keep up with my view direction? I'm using the bfw_v5 chip, have everything wired and constrained exactly as the instructions say, and wire is up to date. For example, if I look 360 degrees around while sitting in it, it only manages to turn 180 degrees give or take. Strangely enough it worked fine for my friend who sat in it.

[karbine]

[quote=Amplar]'ve noticed an issue; not really a bug, but the method i stated earlier will only work if you increase the gearboxes size as they go down the drivetrain-

example, a gearbox's purpose is to multiply torque. so if you're in first gear, 5:1, and the engine makes 100nm, that means the output torque from the primary gearbox is 500nm. this then goes to the transfer case, which further multiplies it (2:1, low range) to 1000 nm. Now, when it gets to the last gearbox, you'll be pushing out 1000 nm, which means the last gearbox has to be able to handle this.

I noticed this while making my gama goat. [/quote]

thought i might put this here

it's not really an issue, it's what real ones do, but it's annoying

prop count?

[RedReaper]

[QUOTE=Amplar;37020528]amplar quoting himself[/QUOTE]

I figured that was how they worked. I wonder how hard it was be to redo the gearboxes so that the max torque the box will handle is the output, not the input...like instead of hooking a 1600nm up to a 1600nm gearbox and dropping output to 0.1, making the gearbox 16000nm and going by the output, so you can't just downgear into oblivion.

Trying to make a Peel P50 :3 but its an attempt

[Leestons]

When I was going through those pictures I was hoping you would ask us to guess what you were building.

Probably the only time I would actually get it right :(

[Jackpody]

Both exterior and interior are pretty much done. Friend is working on this big E2 script for an engine for it, should be pretty good. Going to start working on the wiring in a bit.
A couple pictures below. Resized some but left 2 at a bit higher resolution.

oh I like that.

[kibbles <3]

ok jack has it right hes building and not giving two shits about prop count. u know as long as hes not gunna have it in any servers he should be fine, idk why you all are complaining about high prop count when you more than likely arent gunna see it. just build for you OWN entertainment and not for others, and just build for the sake of doing something creative and complex.

I SALUTE YOU SIR

thing is, that's fine to do, except you bring your 500 prop boxes onto public servers and RSO the shit out of everyone.

[lintz]

I bring my 76 prop boxes onto pub servers and still RSO people :v:

[eurocracy]

I'll save my low prop count building to when I can be assed making usable, optimized stuff instead of complicated monsters
