GBC Observer 👁 Week 9, 2018

Here are some modules that caught my eye this past week.


Quanix has released a final version 2.0 of his pneumatic ball factory.  While this has some seriously impressive mechanisms, I'm curious if this could be integrated into a GBC layout in it's current configuration.



PV is back with another C-model.  This time it's a ball colour sorter and counter.



And here is the new world record GBC layout that took place at Lego World Copenhagen.  Maico has done it again!

Container Yard Remix - Lego GBC Module

Hey everyone,

Here is the latest Great Ball Pit video showing off the 42062 Container Yard Remix module.  

This module was built entirely from parts included in the 42062 Lego Technic Container Yard set.  It uses a tipping ramp mechanism, and is reliable enough to work in a GBC layout when you upgrade it with a Power Functions M motor.

Inclination Power Station - Lego GBC Module

Last night I created a new small module that will be used to power other small modules.  I call it the Inclination Power Station.  This module uses a very similar lift mechanism to the GBC Ramps module by B Bonahoom.  However this module can connect to other modules and power them as well.  In order to use this as a power station you need to move the motor to the outside of the module.  The internal motor position is only for stand alone display.

A video will be forthcoming once I finish off a few more modules that can attach to the main Power Station.

Here are a few preview shots of the module and how it can connect to other modules.

 

Dogbone pieces will be used to secure modules together.
