CloudMario Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hopefully this topic has discussion value o.O. Sorry for new account...for reasons I can't disclose I can't post under my normal alias...Anyways, I had a bunch of LEGOs (woot) as a kid, and I'm kind of tired of them just sitting in a box doing nothing. So, I've decided to make a huge project, but I can only make one of the following and I'm not sure which would be the most awesome. Help me decide? =D - An Engine: Yeah, it's been done many times before, but still, it'd be cool to have a working engine out of LEGOs. - A Plane: I kinda am leaning towards this, like, an actual flying plane somehow, but it would be cool. - A Helicopter: Eh, I'm more of a plane guy, because even if i did this, I'd have to figure out all the ratios for the parts so it wouldn't spin out of control, etc... - A Gun: This was the original idea I had in mind before my imagination went out of control. Not like a rubber band gun, but a equal-to-or-greater force like an airsoft. Semi-auto would be cool too. So OT, what sounds the coolest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 A plane would be nice, I don't see how you'd do that but I wish you luck. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

CloudMario Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 A plane would be nice, I don't see how you'd do that but I wish you luck. Twin propeller engines on the signs connected to a motor in the body of a plane. Maybe even controllable flaps that try to keep the plane steady.

runescapeloser22 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think all of those would be incredibly hard. How would the plane or helicopter land without breaking? But the gun sounds like the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTanT Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Make the plane, then super size. Next make the gun. Mount the gun on the supersized plane. Now terrorize your neighbors. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate.

Wisp Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 A flying lego is basically impossible. None of the gears in lego engines could handle that much, and would melt. A gun is impossible too. Unless you're shooting little tiny legos. And even then it would barely work. I suggest you look at nerf guns to see the most basic springer type guns, like the nerf nightfinder. (it's like 6$). There's a plunger tube, a plunger, a spring, a trigger, a catch, and a barrel. I don't think that could be done with legos. I suggest making something really cool, but don't expect it to fly or whatever. The best you could do is make a helicopter/plane with spinning propellors, and maybe make the plane have working wheels. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you'd rather us make up random stuff up that would be cool for you to build with legos, why don't you build a working lego space station, and a few lego rockets to get it up into orbit. Nevermind llogic, it'd be cool! Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorLepRecon Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'd say a helicopter, since I think it would be really cool, but since it would require a lot of work a plane would be just fine.

Legosimx Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'm actually getting all the pieces from a carrier model, lol. Not actual Lego bricks, are they? I'm not aware of any Aircraft Carrier Lego sets. Guns, especially of the rubberband flavor, have been pulled off rather well in Lego form, but i suggest you make a plane.

hiimben Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The most feasible project would be something that goes. Realistically, the epitome of what the average person could do would be a go-kart or similiar small car contraptions. That's what you should be aiming for, especially initially.

RpgGamer Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I can't understand why a new alias had to be made over some LEGOs...Maybe over a girl, that's understandable, but LEGOs? Where's the harm?

Lenin64 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 A plane is concievable, but there's a lot that goes into making them. Especially the electronics. My dad builds and flies model foam planes, and I'm usually there helping him, so I mostly know what I'm talking about. It's more than hooking a battery to a motor and going. But if you already have that clear, you could potentially build the frame out of Legos. The elevator and such could, too, but you would have to get actual plane servos in order to make them move. Some of the parts can be fairly expensive, even the cheap ones. And then there's no guarantee you'll ever actually manage to fly it. A car or something would be far easier.

Skeptical Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 If you could make a working one, then a plane would be pretty sick.

Boris5000 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Make the gun use had suggested... I'm pretty sure lego has made plenty of lauch systems. I think their bionicles have now got laucher things but they are pretty weak though. Luck be a Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbydog95 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Air plane, although i dont think it will fly, maybe go up then fall and crash, unless of course your in the Hudson river :ohnoes: PSN: Skaterguy1224 Tactical Nukes - 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
