What did the balls fall into? I couldn't see it.

[brdavis5]

The balls fall out of this module into the next module in line. See some of my other GBC videos for examples.

[GazerGraff]

where the hell did you get so many balls??

[brdavis5]

I bought some on Bricklink, and I also got some from a friend who was given around 6000 of them... under the condition that we do something interesting for the "LEGO community". The Great Ball Contraption (GBC) was the result.

[GazerGraff]

ok. great vid btw

[brdavis5]

Thank you!

[GazerGraff]

i cant find them in bricklink

[brdavis5]

They are listed under "sports" - item number is x45pb03. Right now they go for about 4 cents on up to 50 cents.

[GazerGraff]

umm.. what is "Qty"?

[brdavis5]

Probably "quantity"?

[bigal11123]

okay thanks very much

[bigal11123]

nice vid mate where do you get all the balls and do u buy em seperate thanks again bye

[brdavis5]

You can buy them at Bricklink, but most of these we got as leftovers from a BrickFest event (sort of a LEGO fan convention), with the understanding that we would help the community with them. So we came up with the GBC (Great Ball Contraption)

dude thats cool

[brdavis5]

Thanks! It's even better when you see 20 or 30 or more of these type of modules, lined up passing balls from one to another, each in a unique way.

Awesomw! I like the way everything is moved around.

[brdavis5]

Thank you. That was the idea, both to keep things from jamming, as well as to keep things interesting. This module had to handle up to 60 balls at one time, so reliability was a real issue.
