From the construction techniques, the lv7 Grabber could be a real Lego Technic model. Really, very well and thoughtfully built, like a real Lego Technic set. I couldn't tell any difference when building it

[@TymTym55]

It's better than many modern technic sets...

[@artala544]

[@FlymanMS]

I’d suggest it to LEGO in Ideas

[@Lucas_andos]

On real telehandlers they have an extra bar which keeps the forks or grabber park level no matter what the other arms are doing. It's also quite easy to make, just one technic beam and a few connectors for it to pivot.

My favourite part of these challenges is how simply it shows engineering concepts for real world stuff. It's really cool seeing how these machines fail and then showing the solution fixes these problems and explains wordlessly why their real-world counterparts are built the way they are.

Exactly, showing how to incrementally improve upon a design as it needs to overcome greater and greater challenges really shows how to think through solving problems through good design!

[@Master-Mind654]

Awesome idea, to add on why not design the challenge where adding water to the machines weight (like a balast or counterweight) is a necessity to accomplish the task. Possibly there is a tight corridor that a large machine would not fit in, but the lifting area is more spacious, a fillable and collapsible counterweight (water bladder) would be really neat.

[@DSN2005]

A task like this would be impossible for most, but not for this guy

[@bami2]

amazing video, the v7 lifter is a thing of beauty one suggestion: if you want to build a lifter, use a 4-bar lifter mechanism. That will keep the grabber parallel with the base of the vehicle. If you do need adjustability in the angle of the grabber, you can either replace one of the links with a linear actuator or add it to the end. But if you're just raising/lowering, you don't have to juggle with 2 or 3 different controls to both extend and keep it stable.

[@stevevernon1978]

would that work when it was going up the ramp though? the vehicle is no longer level so I'd thing that is when you would need the adjustability you mention.

[@liamshelley496]

I was thinking this would have been a better solution, just with another actuator at the end to change the pitch relative to the base

[@applebreadStreamdrops]

…a mindstorm upgrade with gyro sensor at the grabber would be great to autolevel the glass of water ☺️

[@brick14]

is that like a pantograph?

[@bami2]

@@brick14 A pantograph is a form of a 4 bar linkage yes, but the added benefit that the 2 pairs of bars are always parallel and two of the bars are extended, so any movement of the "free" joint of the parallelogram is amplified on the extended ends of the bars.

[@xaytana]

This experiment, especially the v7 iteration, is why I wish Lego would add an encoder to the Powered Up line of parts. I know the motors already have it, but I want just a thin standalone encoder. Since there's three active swingarms in this, an encoder on each pivot plus some trig in the control app would ensure that the grabber is always parallel to the chassis. A gyro-accelerometer module would make this even better, as that would ensure that the grabber is parallel to the ground in the event of slopes or uneven terrain, as a encoder-primary gyroaccel-secondary loop. The reason encoders need to exist, other than measuring angles of joints, is because lego gears are just so sloppy with their backlash, having a motor-based encoder doesn't work when you have an entire loose geartrain before the joint you're attempting to measure. Motorized linear actuators would also be nice, but power requirements can get out of hand very quickly, similarly position-locking solenoids would also be interesting but fall under the same power requirement issues; stemming from this, I also want Powered Up downstream hubs, where only the main control hub has app connectivity, not only for extra functionality, but also for extra power, where the data portion can be changed between an actively controlled hub or a passive hub that acts as a splitter if you need multiple devices all performing the same input. Powered Up has so much potential, but Lego isn't really doing much outside the basics. Considering it's been out for long enough for Lego to reasonably expand on its functional parts, I have doubts Lego will actually do much more for it. Lego has always had Mindstorms stuff, but I've always thought that was more of an entry to robotics rather than a serious take on Lego robotics, and considering they're not doing much for Powered UP, which combines Power Functions, Mindstorms, and Education, I doubt Lego will ever take robotics or anything STEAM related all that seriously, even Technic is suffering from ridiculous prices and sets targeted towards a less technical, more casual audience. Bit of a sad state the technical side of Lego is in right now.
