    Came across this. It is weirdly enjoyable to watch:

    Yours is far above and beyond anything which is out there. Has been really enjoyable watching your progress through the building process.

    Came across this from 2010. Far simpler/smaller, but still cool to see another version:

    Yeah, I have similar issues with the Ball Factory. I am in the process of creating a Technic base for it, instead of base plates. Then there is the v3 of Ball Factory, which also removes the base plates for the same reason! There is also a nice technical challenge to reducing these things in size. I always enjoy the mini-GBCs you see on YouTube.

    Noticed that video the other day. I love how it is cute and actually viable to build. The huge ones are a rather large commitment. Great work!

    Yeah, I have seen various photos where it is in the background. Never really worked out how it worked. Maybe it was more transporting or buckets with added pneumatics. I should probably send him an email and ask him.

    Interesting find! Little bit flicky, but other than that, I like it. Nice concept and some interesting use of pieces.

    I was literally checking your YouTube channel today to see if you had posted anything. @Techniccrack You may want to put a strobe warning at the start of the video, that strobbing at the end is pretty intense and might trigger some people. Amazing work and it is great to see cool and high quality video to show it off. Congratulations!

    How is the ball getting jammed?
  10. Ankoku
    I like the mechanism used to eject the balls!

    South African GBC loop. Cool to see.

    Not sure if this is of any use, or you have already seen it, but this guy seems to have built the ball cleaner and has various photos and an EV3 file for it: https://bricksafe.com/pages/gbcbuilder/akiyuki ( @Juroen ) Just been going through the old pages of this thread. ( It seems to be @9v system's BrickSafe page :) )

    Love the concept! I can see that being popular at events!

    Got my Catch & Spin built. Only a few cosmetic changes. I did actually change a piece, going from Trans-Clear Tile, Round 1 x 1 to a Dark Bluish Grey Tile, Round 1 x 1 Quarter. You can just about see it in the image, within the drawn red circle. I am kinda surprised that no one else has done this. I was starting to wonder if it impacted the rotation, but no. Works fine and doesn't look as messy and out of place. Changed the Red Technic, Gear 16 Tooth with Clutch on Both Sides to Dark Bluish Grey ones. Changed the Light Bluish Grey Technic, Liftarm 3 x 3 L-Shape Thin to Red ones. I can't see why he used a different colours, since the red ones aren't that easy to get. I just happened to have 2. (This brings it in line with the Akiyuki original and I have seen a few other people do it.)

    It is great to see GBC module loops from South Korea! Good selection of modules too! The first golfing GBC I came across was by @sawyer klegr, which he posted in near the end of 2017. Not sure when he built it: I slightly preferred this one, due to the use of tiles :P But it was inspired by Sawyer's. More golfing GBC variants are always welcome!

    Another variation at the 7:47 mark: This time, they seem to be using: 15458 - Technic, Panel Plate 3 x 11 x 1

    What is the sensor at the start for?
  18. Ankoku
    My apologies, in the videos above, they are using: 87080 - Technic, Panel Fairing # 1 Small Smooth Short, Side A and: 87086 - Technic, Panel Fairing # 2 Small Smooth Short, Side B Stuck together, which seems to be working for them. Those pieces, in various colours appear in a lot of different sets.

    Would be interesting to see if there is any difference between using a soft plastic gear, like the new one and the hard plastic one provided by the turntable. Unfortunately, the construct on top of the turntable to hold it in place kinda nobbles any comparison in that respect.
  20. Ankoku
    Anyone tried that yet?

    So I have been busy building the Catch & Spin module recently and came across something rather odd. Akiyuki is usually fairly meticulous with his choice of colours and aesthetics of his modules. Here though, he colours suddenly get all over the shop and I don't know why: I built these pieces and was left thinking: Couldn't all of this be black? Literally every piece apart from the tan axle. You could even use an old black 3L Axle. So it left me puzzled as to why it was a mishmash of colours. It seems so unlike him. Also doesn't seem to be a case of going with more common, cheaper pieces. So I went and had a look at his video for it and there they are, all in black! Now, for the Yellow version, he uses some yellow bits. That said, why do the instructions not match his original when it comes to this bit? I just feel as though his colour choices for the instructions are worse than his original. Anyway, since it is still partially built, I am going to change them to black, like the original, since it looks better. As a side note, I should say that even the pin alignments bother me with these things, so I am a little OCD with that kinda thing.

    @dunes You should post your GBC event videos on here. You had a nice looking loop! It is always nice to see a good selection of complex GBC modules. Also came across this and am not sure if the creator will post it here. It is simple and you could remove a lot of bricks and replace it with just a few pieces of Technic structure wise, that said, it runs really well and I love the efficiency of the mechanism. It is always appealing when you are getting multiple things done with a single motion!

    Are you using a non-LEGO compressor there? The two things I have always loved with the ball cleaner is: The hopper design (It looks really clean and works well) The rotation of the ball holding trolley. As it rotates the 2 sets of 4 balls round 180 degrees, it always looks so precise, like a proper robot. Great work on getting it up and running!

    @richmond202008 You can import any of the MPD files into Stud.IO and that will give you a parts list.

    I have seen people go for 62531 - Technic, Panel Curved 11 x 3 with 2 Pin Holes through Panel Surface as a cheaper alternative.
