GBC - 5 Modules

[nxtstep101]

Remember awhile back when I said I was making a GBC? Well here it is! I didn't work on it non-stop but built it little by little. Here is the video I made for it:

Questions, comments, or constructive criticism is welcome!

Nice job! I find it hypnotic.

Did you invent those movements by yourself?

I like the M motor just hanging there spinning at .55 seconds. LOL

Can't say I like the music, I would perfer to hear the whiizzing of motors and clicking off balls rolling personally.

Thanks for sharing tho.

Very nice. I find the music OK, but like Doc_Brown I would also like to hear the sounds of the GBC part of the time. Some music is OK, but some sounds of the GBC would be great also.

What functions is the NXT performing besides driving one of the motors?

Overall, great!

Yes GBC:s should be their own music. Nice modules. I like how small most are yet they provide much joy when watching.

Nice work. Are those balls from the NXT Mindstorm 2.0 set?

Thank you! I also find GBCs hypnotic.

Yes all the mechanisms were designed by me, although the whole module was based off of

I agree about the music, I'm really not sure why I put music probably just out of habit.

It has no other function, besides driving the two motors used for that one module.

Thanks!

No, actually they are the balls from my Chinese checkers game.

About that one. Does anyone know which part was used in that module. While i would probably end up with a third party solution anyway it would still be nice to know what part to use if i wanted to build the original.

I don't recall ever coming across a part like that... But I will look into it.
