Great Ball Pit featured on Lego Technic's facebook page

It's always great to get official Lego recognition for the GBC theme, and today the Lego Technic team on Facebook have shared my "Grainbow Sawtooth" module with over 250,000 followers!



Thank you to the Lego Group for supporting the Lego Great Ball Contraption community!

New Module - Splatiyuki

Here is my latest module which is called Splatiyuki.  It is based off the Akiyuki designed loader for his "Cars with ACC" GBC module.  Differences are that I've replaced the Boost Hub with a Power Functions M Motor and some gearing.  I have also added a second counter-rotating splat lift.


I wanted to do something "interesting" for the output so I used up a bunch of engine intakes pieces to create a zig zag ramp.  The output ramp is designed to sit on the next modules input bin.


Big thanks to Akiyuki for releasing the instructions for the splat loader and making this module possible!
