 The long wait is finally over - at last - the building instructions for all 4 amazing robot remix from this summer's MCP RobotRemix#1 challenge! Again, all of these great models can be build using only parts from the LEGO MINDSTORMS (31313) set and the LEGO TECHNIC Fire plane (42040). A big thank you goes to Robin, the creator of Lucky Cat who took the time to make these professional looking building instructions for you all!

Exhibit C: LUCKY CAT by Robin Dai, China For this post,  learn a little bit more about Robin thanks to his fun self introductory text: Hi, This is Robin, from Shanghai, China.

Fortunately, I still have chance to spend my leisure on exploring the amazing Lego cosmos for recent 10 years. I am so honor to be a member of MCP15.

The result is the ROBOTREMIX, a creative concept whose goal is to show the cool stuff possible remixing your LEGO MINDSTORMS set with only 1 other LEGO TECHNIC set. There were lots of great ideas from the MCP group, but 4 ideas where finally chosen to receive a set to get started exploring the combination. The final and awesome creations by Xander (Netherlands), Robin (China), Arthur (Brazil...
