sawyer klegr Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This lego great ball contraption uses a shooter mechanism to shoot the marbles into a castle. The range of the shooter mechanism can be easily adjusted with a gear at the back, it uses a large linear actuator attached to a shock absorber to do so. Part of the back of the castle is made from lego 6L half beams to slow the balls down. I have the LDD file for this module here. Do you like this kind of decorated module or do you think it is better to just focus on the functions? I like this kind but it uses a lot more pieces and takes a lot longer to build. Quote
RohanBeckett Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Very nice! always like a well-decorated module! and showing the mechanism underneath is great too! Yet another one of yours to add to my 'to-build list' :) Quote

LM71Blackbird Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This is really cool! I agree with dr_spock, if you like building these than keep on doing it! Quote
deraven Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I think it's great! Nice to watch, and looks like it works flawlessly and at good speed. As others have said, unless you don't enjoy this kind of build I'd definitely like to see more of 'em! Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I love the theming on this! Very cool mechanism too! I haven’t been able to make a GBC launcher and I still have trouble understanding how this one works Quote

Artanis I Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 I think that GBC modules are way better when decorated. This one is terrific. Honestly, the less Technic gadgetry visible, the better. (And then you can pull off the cover to show "how-it-works") Quote

Capparezza Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Hilarious! Great little scenery and the "shooting" fits in very well. And I, too, find it very cool that you decided to hide the technic aspect so well. Quote
