[brianjamespayne]

they told me legos were for kids... and 10$ they had a fuse blow out when they turned it on

[MaicoArts]

btw, have you ever tried to manage 40 modules? Then you don't want high volume of balls...

[nico71240]

@MaicoArts That's sure ^^ In any case, don't be offend by the video, It seems that you have trouble with the video. No offense.

[MaicoArts]

@nico71240

No, I am not offended by the video. Sometimes people make remarks wich are not clever to make.

btw: are you going to Rosheim? Maybe we can have a talk about this then?

[nico71240]

@MaicoArts Yes I will come :) I will be glad to talk with you.

no modules have a major problem. It often depends how balls are fed. If they come in batches, I know my ball pumps can get into trouble.

Things can go wrong very easily: in a funnel from 8 studs wide to 3 studs wide balls get stuck.

My ballcounter based on a rolling ball clock can give the next module a very hard time when every counting lane empties short after each other. This happens every 100 balls and gets worse when passing a 1000 ball or even a 10.000 ball barrier.

[MaicoArts]

a high volume of balls might be nice and spectacular, but as soon as one module fails it creates a big mess around it. I think all modules can handle the one ball per second but do have trouble handling batches of balls. Some modules are from the uploader of this video, and even his modules jamed during this event...

[nico71240]

@MaicoArts My counter has not major problem. The major problem I think it is the fact that some GBB retain balls, like the pump. This is not a problem when there are suficient amount of ball but if there are not, the GBB after the pump is empty of ball.

very cool, i give him 100 $, if he build that with one energy source and one motor enigne!!!!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

A GENERAL LACK OF BALLS!!!!! ;)

[Zblj1987]

This is what i call team work! How did you guys standarise modules?

[nico71240]

@Zblj1987 yes you can search teamhassenplug (sorry youtube and links...). Per example, input and ouput must be 8x8x8Stud and minimun flow in 1balls/1s

[ramoutcho7387]

Last year, i go with mine GBC ...

[Gage5137]

OMG THAT AMAZING!!!!!!! did you make all of that?

[nico71240]

@Gage5137 no, this is a contributing layout. Everyone can built and come with some modules.
