    I built your turntable or something very close to it today @Doug72 and it worked a treat. My only concern is how much straight track run-up is needed to meet the height of the turntable.

    Haha I like it! Evil train.

    I'm hosting a small GBC building challenge over at my website / discord server if anyone here would like to participate. There is a prize for the module that I think is the best. Details can be found on my homepage linked in my sig. Hope to see some of you there. - Matt

    There's been a few RCX trains in some of the older brickworld videos. Looked like they used colored flags to control speed. Some of them use more then one RCX. One for the train, and one for the loading station.

    Here is a new video featuring this Boost Pachinko Lego GBC module. In this video you will get a closer look at all of the mechanisms that make it work including how the jackpot works underneath the game area.

    Great video, nice to see 4 of my designs made it in there ?

    Ask me anything about my Lego Boost GBC Pachinko module. It has a jackpot payout when the ball goes into the jackpot area. The conveyor is run with the Boost external motor, and the onboard hub motors are controlling the aiming mechanism and the jackpot payout door. Video below

    I've finished uploading 4 videos featuring all sorts of GBC from BrickCon 2018 that was held in Seattle, WA last weekend. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the modules.

    A "Programmable Lego" sub-forum would interest me, as I've started working with BOOST, and will pick up some more powered up sets soon as well.

    Very nice, R-type was one of my favourite games as a kid. I can remember flying under this thing many times.

    Nice build, but I was hoping to see some sort of living quarters inside.

    Be nice to the PF motors! They won't be around much longer. :(

    That articulated stepper is pretty neat.

    My Solaire GBC module was featured by Lego Technic today on Facebook. It's nice to see more and more GBC making it's way mainstream. If you didn't know you can get free instructions for the Solaire module on the website linked in my signature.

    Module has been updated with an input hopper that is much more "standard" and reliable. As well the module can now recirculate and only uses 1 motor now.

    Was expecting a smart fortwo. Click baited.

    Like @RohanBeckett, I'm also a GBC builder who displays a dozen modules at public events. Now even though I've been able to hard wire my Boost Hub to work with 9v AC power, I don't want to have to go to the local electronics shop, buy some kit then come home and bust out the soldering iron every-time I need to use more of the new tech. GBC builders need a LEGO created solution to being able to use the old 9v Train controllers with the new motors... How about a a new extension cable so that we can just use the motors with the Classic train controller, that's all we need! Overall after reading that Q&A, I'm not impressed... I forsee a huge number of GBC builders that will have to purchase a hoard of PF motors to use over the next decade.

    How high can this module pump?

    Cool set, and nice review. I really like the huge bucket piece. As autonomous vehicles are becoming more commonplace I think it's great that Lego has taken the initiative to get some sets out there representing what's to come in the future. Having said that, it would be nice to see some Technic space vehicles.

    Added the video for the Dragon Variant to the Original Post.

    For anyone interested I've created instructions (not free) for the updated version of this module. After a disappointing showing for this module at BrickCan 2018 I've made a few fixes and improvements which has resulted in a successful hour long soak test. I will be bringing this module to BrickCon 2018 for another "real" test later this year. Head on over to my website in my sig if you are interested.

    I'm back with another module and video. This time I've created a small, simple conveyor belt that is proving to be quite reliable. As well I've shown how you can modify it to make it your own creation. Instructions for this module are available on my website. Here is another version I've made. I'll be posting the video for this one next week. Here is the video for the Jade Dragon variant.

    Hey everyone, I've released a new video featuring the Brickworld 2018 Workshop module ball pump. I've tweaked the looks to my liking as well converted it to run with my simple shared power system. While this module appears simple in appearance / function, the 3 driven mechanisms were very well engineered and I can tell a lot of iteration went into this module. The module was originally designed by Brian Alano and the instructions can be found here: http://www.greatballcontraption.com/wiki/GBC_Ball_Pump
