Cool!

I'd love to see more on the design.

*quality. This is awesome.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by nomino.

But can he build it in Minecraft?

that. is. awesome.

pretty damn neat.

Frame needs stiffening.

How is power transferred ? where is the torque converter ?

I have absolutely no idea how it works, but it's still really damned cool!

It's rolling along on a treadmill, so it's doesn't need a torque converter to transfer power from an engine. I was wondering how he keeps the gears from grinding while it shifts, but from the sounds it made at the end, I don't think he has quite worked that out yet.

OH YEAH.

I dont think this is an automatic transmission in the sense of what is in an automobile. I think just by watching that it uses some sort of centrifugal gear advancement mechanism to change gears in a linear fashion, seems like its only one way unless manipulated by the human. Dont get me wrong its fantastic, but I was under the impression of something else being here.

and yes, the gearing seems like the ol " slam it into gear" method, the plastic should be forgiving though

Frankly, I'm surprised that the Lego's held together in such a stress test.

Great engineering!
