Posted July 9, 20177 yr The last nights were short but here is the result: The second prototype for a sand table. A sand sculpture based on #LEGO #MindstormsI will keep you up-to-date on the further development :-)#Mindstormsmagic Edited August 19, 20177 yr by andreasbaumgart
July 10, 20177 yr Very nice! always great to see Lego integrated into 'real world' objects. Even the slight shuddering of the ball makes a very nice pattern as it spirals around. Are you able to program it to do different patterns/shapes? spirograph style... or even writing letters!!

My brain worked a more time on this idea as you can see on the video ? But yes. The mechanical result is even simpler.

August 19, 20177 yr I'm not sure how I missed this when it was posted. Very nice application of Mindstorms, the latest picture shows some nice paths. The light underneath gives it a very cool effect! Any plans to make it move in straight lines?

It took even longer to get the result or changing the parameters for a creative design. I made a video the last days. That took a terrible long time. It will be published on YT the next days. But here is a picture of my "Billund table". The shown spiral needs nearly 15 minutes to be finished. But you can't hear nearly nothing. No motor and no steel ball. If you hear the ball, it sounds like foot steps in the snow :-) Edited August 24, 20177 yr by andreasbaumgart
August 25, 20177 yr Wow this is incredible. I think this would be one of the approved Lego items my wife would gladly let me put in the living room.
