djm Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Another GBC module from Akiyuki Edited August 14, 2016 by djm Quote
aeh5040 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) As always it's beautiful and works flawlessly, but I feel like this is one of his simplest designs yet. A genius like Akiyuky can probably put together a module like this before breakfast! Not intended as a criticism - just interesting to see him going back to basics.

MajklSpajkl Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Imho, there is nothing basic here, even the idea itself is marvelous, the execution even more. I already tried the snake slide (30 steps) - yes it is simple but absolutely amazing!!! It's really cool to bend it as you like. I did simplify the supports though... Quote
PeterF Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I wish more builders would go "back to basics" ;-) Quote
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Just watching those forks is quite mesmerizing. It looks very neat and clean as well. Quote
deraven Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Yes, the forks, the ball delivery wheel, and the snake slide are all lovely individually and fun to watch, and then putting them together in such a clean way is excellent. I don't think "clean" means "simple" and I certainly don't think "busy" equals "complex" so I don't see anything here to criticize. Well done! Quote
