DLuders Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 platystick is refining his Lego Technic GREAT BALL CONTRAPTION (GBC) Distributor module for metering balls at a rate of 1-2 per rotation. On his , he wrote: "Latest version of the distributor of [Lego] balls, very small it is perfect to channel and manage the flow of the balls of the GBC. 1 or 2 balls per turn and functions in the 2 directions. Perhaps caused by the top to facilitate the placement on the plate of entry." Quote
freakwave Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks for sharing that one! This looks very immune to balls getting jammed and it keeps moving the stock that balls keep coming. Very nice! Quote
Lasse D Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Nice find. It is a nice way to dispense balls downwards with a stable output. I'm a bit worried about the stability of the first dispenser as it seems to move a lot, which might make it prone to failure at events. The secodn one is much better. Quote
