[GBC] Easter Bunny GBC Module

[Lasse D]

It is with a little delay that I can present our Easter GBC module.

 

This GBC module is an evolution from this old small ring module:

(Brickshelf gallery of the old module here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=569534 )

The module is quite simple. The wheel spins. The anti-jamming mechanism kicks in when needed and there are two inboxes to help place it optimally in a layout.

There is a compartment in the base to store fragile objects during transport and the XL motor can easily be replaced:

You can also use an M or L motor instead, should you not have an XL motor.

The flowers are tulips:

A daisy:

And a daffodil:

The design started with the head of the bunny, where I tried to make it both compact and cute:

Very nice. The rabbit looks great, how he is integrated into the machine is cool. Great work!

Neat idea for Easter.

A very refreshing GBC module! I really like the bunny and the flowers 

I'm a bit concerned by the speed of the ring compared to the speed of the bunny.

Thanks everyone.

Would you like the bunny to run a bit faster compared to the wheel Bob? Because I have the same feeling. I have geared it so that it didn't go too fast on high speed, but seeing that it will run on speed 1 for most of its life, I'm considering swapping the red cogs between the wheel and the bunny.

Beautiful. A masterful improvement over the original in every way.

What bothers me is the difference in speed between the bunny and the wheel. Maybe speeding up a bit the bunny and slowing a bit the wheel would be a good solution.

I have updated it so that the speed is a bit faster. It now looks much better when running at speed 1:
