Posted December 30, 201212 yr Please note: this is not my creation I was aimlessly looking at Lego Technic stuff on youtube and came across this: I haven't found it on here, but I thought you guys would be interested to see the mechanisms, as they look very complex for such a small model , plus the fact it looks so cool It is also vote-able on cuusoo: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/22356 Thoughts?
December 30, 201212 yr The thing I love the most is that the treads work when it turns. The mechanism is really neat. Basically it recognizes the size of the block with a diffrential "overflow" for the grabber. Also, the shifting mechanism at 1:30 with the rubberband and pegs is genius Edited December 30, 201212 yr by skppo
December 30, 201212 yr That thing is freaking sweet !! I like the size of it, goes to show you that you dont need to build huge models that work like this one does. Dan
December 31, 201212 yr This is so brilliant! I really like the way the designer explored all possibilities in technical engineering using Technic And it looks good too!
December 31, 201212 yr I remember the brick sorting bird this chap made a while back - this is also excellent! Clever, well designed and looks good - just a shame there aren't a few more pictures to enable it to be recreated! Richard.
December 31, 201212 yr Just supported this on cuusoo... It has 100 supporters now :) Really clever mechanics.
December 31, 201212 yr very well thought out, complex systems in small packs, and all off one motor, well done indeed
May 22, 201410 yr Awesome build, It is really compact and contains a lot. Edited May 22, 201410 yr by Tommy Styrvoky
May 23, 201410 yr Never saw this one, but this is amazing engineering. I really like these kinds of models, mechanical, just one motor. Lots of stuff going on. And looks great too! Should have much more supporters on lego ideas. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/22356
June 1, 20168 yr Anyone else notice he has it sorting 2x5 bricks? I guess that is why it's able to work incrementally, but seems a strange size to include in the demo.
June 2, 20168 yr OK my brain is fried! No more thinking for today Anyway This is a marvel of engineering.
June 2, 20168 yr What a coincidence! I was browsing yesterday, and found this through a very different soource, and today it pops up on EB from the past! The creator wrote, that LDD file will be available (2 years ago), does anyone have contact to him? As it seems, unfortunatelly it will never pass Ideas, but would be so awesome to build it!
June 6, 20168 yr Tried reaching the maker of it, no succes yet. Anybody any succes with reverse engineering ?
