Very nice mechanisms all working together in harmony. Well done and thank you for the file and instructions!

Well done! Very good exterior design and interior details.

I accidentally bumped of the head of the black robot at the end of the video shoot and did not notice I had put it back the wrong way around until I was finished editing the video :) Im curious if there is a difference in the amount of dropped balls between mine and the JK version, since you build both please let me know :)

The light bluish grey lever on the arm at the right hits the angled brick and opens up the clamp to release the ball.

My version of the JK Brickworks Robot Dreams: Free instructions on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-71402/BrickPolis/framed-robot-dreams/

The Pizzeria is a full size modular with many details and 5360 bricks in over 400 pages spread over three free building instructions. The ground floor has a full size wood burning Pizza oven with bricklight, woodlogs, bar and restaurant tables. The 2nd floor has a pasta and ice cream bar, toilet and more tables inside and outside. The 3rd floor is an appartement with living room, bedroom, kitchen en bathroom.

31 participants so far in the poll, enough for any contest right? :) Already started to prototype some ideas :)

Thank you for the offer @rskamen, good to hear it runs well. Waiting for parts from LEGO Brick & Pieces, hope to start soon with the build. Got the instruction almost ready so I hope it works well and I don't have to make design changes :)

Very nice use of the slides and clean build, good job!

1 ball per second. It's up to the organization but I, as a strict GBC compliant builder, still would welcome different type of balls and non-GBC compliant modules for idea and design diversity. And it's up to the community which one would win, also Akiyuki has made a 'rollercoaster' through his whole house.

I most likely would. May be my only chance to win a medal :) But also very curious to see what others will build that normally do not build GBC, even if that means I won't win a medal :) So participation here might be low but once the contest starts I hope more will join that normally don't build GBC. It's fun to build (and challenging).

The yellow timing switches blocked against each other sometimes messing up all the timing. Been busy with it half a year and got it working but when trying to fine tune it for events with error on error I entirely lost my cool and threw it on the floor. The End :)

@dunes nice work! I'm converting the Robot Dreams of JK Brickworks to a 'framed' machine for easy transporting but also has a lot less parts (pins not counted). Digital design ready and waiting for parts to start building and testing. Instructions will be available for free when finished.

Not anymore. Didn't get a lot of response on it and had trouble getting it reliable enough for events although it was looking promising. I don't want to create instructions for something that isn't reliable. In fact, I've already taken the module apart, took me two nights :) All that remains is the video.

@JLA at the right all parts lists are available for having Central Perk (abbreviation CP) and/or Bing Bang Theory (abbreviation BBT) or having none. I'm planning on doing so. And also split the modular parts lists in a 'per floor' availability of original set and not the whole building.

All parts lists are on Rebrickable (link in the first post) as downloadable Bricklink list or plain parts list with pictures.

Here is my version of the Container Transporter with detachable gearbox:

I know we have GBC collection topics but wanted to create this topic on its own to highlight the gearbox I created. A NXT and 3 motors replaced by a mechanical gearbox and one motor in this GBC. 8 phases with 3 drive lines and 4 different speeds all in one separate and detachable gearbox.

And a video of the Go-Kart:

Model has been build. First topic updated with link to free instructions on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-63623/BrickPolis/854-go-kart-tribute/

Still waiting for the TLG B&P delivery to build the remake with real bricks and publish free instructions. First B&P order got lost and meanwhile delivery is up to 8 weeks! But I managed to source the original 854 go-kart with almost all new bricks including the light gray parts. I think that's amazing for a more then 40 year old set!

@rskamen no update on the model, I only removed the reference to an Ideas submission I have deleted.

I like the idea, it would certainly solve some problems the smaller original spiral lift has. But for optimal timing it needs to run on the same motor and that probably won't work. Who has build the ball factory may have noticed that even timing on the spiral lift is important. If the ball is released right at the moment the gateway to the two lifters is open it can cause problems. The spiral lift in my version runs well after I made the last changes. I'm more inclined to try and build a color sorter based on PoweredUp. My last attempt at an event failed with my first build of the V3. After that I made some changes. Aron has run it for two days on an event and said it has run without big problems. I can imagine some problems may occur but with the V3 it is unlikely the timing will go off and restoring timing is most time consuming. If events are possible again I will try again. This time I will be better prepared and also will have a module in front that can bypass the Ball Factory if needed so I expect it to be less stressful. The whole purpose of the redesign was to be able to run it at events and I'm not giving up yet :)
