ALittleSlow Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 here's one of mine The photos don't show any useful detail, but the video is nice. I like the minecrafty stepper. The shooter looks very effective. Do you have more pictures of it, or, if you copied the design, do you know from where? Quote
Blakbird Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 YouTube user "The ReBricker" (no idea if he has any affiliation to ReBrickable) has reverse engineered and has created a set of excellent . I am in the process of watching them and creating LDraw files from what I see. I'm not hugely into GBC, but I do find it fascinating and Akiyuki's modules are the most mesmerizing I've seen. If ever I was going to build one, this would be it. Here's what I've got so far:Module 1 - Battery box (I would probably use a train regulator) Module 2 - Initial Drive Assembly Module 3 - Load Turner Module 4 - Bucket Wheel Module 5 - Empty Bucket Mover The assembly to so far: Quote
DrJB Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I've seen the videos and your effort to put those in 'digital' form is truly appreciated. Though, in all honesty, and with all YOUR contributions to this forum, one must ponder: Where do you find the time? Do you ever sleep? Quote
Maico Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Philo's ball counter: but my instructions :-) Quote
kieran Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I built a replicila of this a while back, took ages and was never 100% right. good luck with it, I will have another go if this works out. Quote
9v system Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 thanks for the instructions miaco. one question: what is the pf converter cable use for in this modules Quote
Maico Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 the light being used is the one from powerfunctions. That doesn't connect to a 9 volt connection of the RCX without a convertor cable... Offcourse you can use an old type 9volt light and a 9 volt wire instead. Kind regards, Maico Arts Quote

Upon more research it looks like the video author is already working on his own LDraw version, but I'm going to keep going with mine anyway because I learn a lot in the process of lining everything up. Sleep? That would cut into my time for my other hobbies: Quote

9v system Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 miaco I really like these two modules I would like to see how they work http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5256633 Quote

PeterF Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Akiyuki really is in a leage of his own isn't he? So inventive and so precise ... Nice to see the digital model. Quote
DrJB Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Coming up really nice. I must warn though, for those of us endeavoring to build such contraption that, according to Akiyuki himself in one of his web sites, tuning and timing of all the functions/modules is really tricky. I can't find the page now but it was in Japanese and I had to use Google Translate. In fact, even the author of the build videos spends a great deal of time explaining how to put all the modules together and how to time/tune them . The complexity does not diminish the scale of the project. On the contrary, it makes one even more appreciative of the efforts that go into it. Edited February 22, 2015 by DrJB Quote
PeterF Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Exactly and all of this with one motor. And no cheating with a nxt brick or anything. Just amazing. Quote
Maico Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 @9v system, please try to write my first name correctly. It is Maico... The modules which have buildinginstructions you can find them in the videos on my Youtube channel. Kind regards, Maico Arts This weekend I was attending an event in the Netherlands. We setup a "small" circuit with 51 modules. Quote

Blakbird Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I've finished the LDraw files for the ball factory. Now to get started on a parts list.... Quote
9v system Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I would like to present to you a new module www.youtube.com/watch?v=aygKXcIj9G4 Quote
Maico Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 @9v system Somehow it looks familiar :-) Quote
9v system Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 @9v system Somehow it looks familiar :-) how? Quote
Maico Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 The exit and size let me believe it is similar to the GBCube module of Steve Hassenplug. I recently have posted a building instruction on my Youtube channel. Quote

DrJB Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) It seems there was a GBC Challenge on TLG's Mindstorms site earlier this year.
