A few years ago, I made my first Lego Technic hand with pneumatics. Then, a little while after that, I made another pneumatic hand and an electric hand using linear actuators. The pneumatic hands were always really slow and weak because all the pistons are old, the seal on the inside is dried out, andContinue reading “Lego Technic Hands”

Since January 15th 2024, I have been trying to get my tank to be durable, fast and work properly. Making it durable was the easy part since I just had to add supports and parts connecting the two sides of whatever needed to be reinforced. The speed has always been the hard part though, asContinue reading “End Of The Tank”

For the last few years, I’ve wanted to sort my Lego Technic parts because it takes forever having to dig through all the parts to find the right one.

Ever since I made my tank last year, I haven’t been able to make it drive correctly. With the old Lego Power Functions XL motors from 2009, some motors are slower than others so it tends to go to one side a little bit when driving straight. To get it to drive with the NerfContinue reading “Nitro Engines”

This year for halloween, two of my younger brothers are making a haunted house on our front porch. They are going to enclose the porch with big plastic sheets to make it dark. We also got a fog machine this year for it. One of them is going to sit in a chair in theContinue reading “Haunted House”

I just read a book called George Washington Spymaster. It was written by Thomas B Allen. It was about how George Washington out spied the British during the American Revolution. The book talks about the methods the American spies used to trick the British during the Revolutionary War. One instance was when the Americans leakedContinue reading “George Washington Spymaster”

A few weeks ago, our parents started looking to sell our old trailer that we don’t fit in anymore and get a motorhome. Our mom’s family used to travel all over the place. A few weeks before that, I remembered the name Big Brutus but didn’t remember what it went to. So I looked itContinue reading “Big Brutus”
