[GBC] Jumper Module

[Yiharua]

An image is better than a thousand words:

Today I present you my Lego GBC Jumper Module. Basically it consists of a bar connected to a shock absorver. When pressure is left, all the force is released and the ball is fired.

This is so far the most complex GBC I have ever posted (There are many "big fails" that I will never publish... But much more complex). Besides this in that small space we can find two links going up and down and a ball remover.

Apparently it has no errors. The only small problem happens when the ball is elevated. Sometimes it doesn´t fall to the launcher.

I am very proud of this module. It has been many months in my mind, undergoing continuous changes, until I have solved them. In part, the previous module (Which you can see here) was made to cheer me up, because this was all a puzzle.

The original idea for the kick launcher comes from Philip Verbeek (The European Akiyuki... He has some impressive GBCs. Ought to see them). The music of the video is owned by Alasdair Fraser. I hope you enjoy it.

Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing.

Nice module. That is also similar to an idea i have. Mine would have a different catching mechanism and also the launch would have been similar. I haven't built anything so i don't know if it would work. Either way i imagine that is must have been hard to make it all work.

Very nice. Good use of the engine part.

It seems reliable which isn't an easy task when doing such a 'jumper' module (balls are never ejected with the same force...). I also like how you use the part to create a fake engine as a basket.

Very impressive! It sorta reminds me of one of akiyukys modules.

By far your best module yet!

Thank you all fot commenitng. I am glad you like it.

Try it and see how it works. It is the only way ;).

It may looks as one of akiyukis :D. Yes it is my best module ever ;):

:thumbup:

Like the music, too ;)

And without the music, we could see it in Germany as well.

[Yiharua]

Thank you philo!

And sorry Psykater. Maybe you should change your regulations in Germany :P.

Unfortunately this has nothing to do with regulations but with the bitching around of youtube/google and the GEMA, the organisation in germany who is responsible to collect money from people who air music for the artists...

This is really nice, is it all run off the one M motor?

In Spain we deleted that thing that you call GEMA (We called it SGAE, and their bosses were corrupt, as everybody here...) some years ago. Fortunately.

Only 1 M motor and a battery box or conexion to the electricity ;).
