[GBC] The Akiyuki Project (2010 - 2020)
Ice Wolf replied to Blakbird's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf I ever finish it I could add my ball factory to that as well,its just a few finishing touches away, just need to complete the input and output and get it all dialled in. I've also got a completed Basketball shooter which needs a little bit of a tune up.

Ice Wolf replied to Blakbird's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingJust going by your picture from what I can see it looks like you have it correct it looks identical to the one I reverse engineered. The ball shooting mechanisms themselves are fairly easy to do it's the top deck that is hard to get right as we are never given a look at the underside structure. Only issue I've had with mine is that I need to recalibrate the springs as it's no longer shooting correctly, doesn't seem to draw back far enough anymore. I went to the trouble of getting each of the shooters completely colour coded as possible which was a probably more hassle than it was worth as Blue 1x15 liftarms were out of production at the time.

Ice Wolf replied to Blakbird's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf anyone was wondering how to integrate the new style turntable into the bucket wheel of the Ball Factory here is a solution I came up with: You'll also need to adjust the height of the tower to take into account the wheel now located on top of the turntable rather than built around it and the difference in height of the old and new style turntables. The neat part of this is that you end up with a more symmetrical looking bucket wheel.
