New Lego GBC Module - EV3 Counter

I've recently completed my EV3 Counter GBC Module that I will be using at BrickCan 2019.  I consider it a utility module so I decided to leave it rather plain looking.  I may return to it at a later date to make it look a bit "nicer".

It uses a Power Functions M Motor to power the conveyor which is using the new extra large sprockets (part #: 6253463)

Battery life is yet to be determined, but I'm pretty confident the 6AA should last throughout the weekend since the EV3 Hub is not driving any motors.

If it ends up being reliable at BrickCan 2019 I plan on releasing instructions and the EV3 program.

GBC Observer 👁 Week 13, 2019

Welcome to the GBC Observer for week 13 of 2019.

First up we'll take a closer look at Lawrie's EV3 dump truck that runs on train track.  This allows it to be used as a corner module, or return balls to the beginning of a GBC loop.



Beyond the Brick takes us through the GBC modules at Bricks Cascade 2019 in this next video.  "Everything jams eventually"



In this last video we see the layout from BrickWorld Indy 2019.  Theres a few new modules in here, I like the one with the oval racer track that's just pushing balls around.



Have a great week everyone.
