Yiharua Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) My idea of a GBC ball pump. I was inspired by philo´s webpage, but I decided to change some things in its desing. First of all the hopper is different: I used plates to do it. In philo´s version there is a round dish. The pieces are yellow and black becouse of availability; I have lots of yellow and black liftarms but no more than 10 or 20 orange liftarms, for example. It features a lego fower funcions M motor. I also included large pins between the 1×15 liftarms to make it sturdy. This module need at least 8 balls to work well. It has an error: sometimes the balls doesn´t fit. I don´t know why… Here is the photo of the reduction: Another general photo of the MOC: And the last photo: The video: Thanks for watching! The entry on my blog My youtube channel Sorry about my misspellings. Edited January 29, 2012 by Yiharua Quote
