6x4x2 wheel configuration with Ackermann steering and hybrid live-axle suspension. Telescoping boom. Impressive 1kg lifting capacity.

Wow, some of these photos I have to look really closely to see if it has studs. I love the explanations too. Another incredible builder I found (via his YouTube videos) is foxbox. Not much info on how the devices work, but still amazing.

Amazing though this crane is, I don't think it could pick up my eyes and put them back in my head.

Legos sure have come a long way since I was a kid. That crane is a thing of beauty.

Great post. I sent this to some engineer colleagues, just to enjoy the sight of them drooling and turning green with envy when they read their e-mail in the morning.

She truly has great talent. Speaking as someone who spent most of his childhood building very complex mechanisms with technical lego.

The descriptions of each component are mind-blowing in their specificity. Unbelievably great.
