Entry period has ended, voting will begin soon!

 

Welcome to the second Sanitarium Contest. The theme this time is pretty straight forward, Build a ground based combat vehicle, with personnel. Your entry must meet the following requirements to be accepted.

1. The vehicle must be ground based, as in wheels or treads. The entry MUST have wheels or treads and they MUST be used as a means of transportation on the entry. Transformers and/or humanoid vehicles are also fine, the vehicle may also have the ability to float/fly, but remember that it must be ground based initally.

 

2. The vehicle must be able to carry at least 2 or more personnel inside of it. This means the interior, the personnel must be able to fit at least halfway into the vehicle. The personnel can be minifigures, technic minifigures, toa/matoran, custom personnel, robots/droids or whatever, just as long as 2 of them fit inside the vehicle, and they are distinct.

 

3. The vehicle must have some sort of gun/cannon/laser on it, it does not have to fire like a blunt shooter but it must clearly be a long range weapon of some sort. Catapults, slingshots, anything is game here as long as it is long range.

 

Lego prizes will be awarded for first and second place, first place will win a Chrome Hau and second place will win either Tarduk, Raanu or a Coast Guard Kayak city set, selected at random!

 

Rules are as follows:

 

1. Your entry will be put under the microscope very closely, so please provide several angles/pictures of it before entering, any non lego parts found on the entry will result in a DQ. There is no lego medium that will not be accepted here, it can be 100 percent system, 100 percent technic and so on.

 

2. Outside of the theme, this is a freebuild, so you may build anything you like! However you may NOT edit the creation once it has been officially entered and you may not steal another persons work.

 

3. There will be no 3 part entries. Your creation must contain at least 30 parts at the minimum.

 

4. No whining, no complaining, no cheating, period. This means begging for votes when the polling has begun also.

 

5. The NEW deadline for this contest has been set for September 25th. There will be NO further extentions.

 

6. You may only enter ONE vehicle. This is not up for debate, detachable accessories and the like are fine, but ALL these must be able to attach to the main creation in some manner.

 

7. You may NOT enter previously posted/public creations.

 

8. Have fun and please PM me for any further questions or information, or post. Everyone will be given a second chance, so if your entry does not fit the contest requirements, you may modify it and then re-enter it at least once. No pressure!

 

9. Please post your entry in the following format:

If you have any further questions, you can PM me or my contest assistant Distorted.

Just to make sure, NXT parts are allowed, right?

NXT parts are fine yes.

 

Hooray, 3 entries so far! Lets see some more!

Mine's coming along nicely. I'm hoping to actually enter one of these contests for once. :D

 

Question though, are we allowed to post WIP pics? Not necessarily on BZP, but on another website like Flickr?

Eeeerg... two days left and I'm only like 2/3 done with my vehicle. At this point I'm mostly just strapped for ideas, I'm not real confident in my current design for the last section and I'm not sure if I'd have enough parts, and I have no idea about the specifics and actual construction. On the plus side, as it stands (which ironically it can't since it doesn't have back legs yet) it can hold around nine minifigs, which I think puts me safely above the required two. Plus it looks like there may not be ten entries by the deadline, so I may just get an entry-saving extension. I mean, I admit it's not like I haven't had plenty of time, but I wasn't real serious about entering originally.

 

Ha ha, looks like my prediction of not being done in time is going to come true.

Contest deadline has been extended until September 25th. That will be the FINAL deadline, regardless of entries.
