Self-Loading LEGO Dice Tower

This is Version 1 of an idea that I've had for a while. I like dice towers and thought that there must be a way to reload the dice automatically via levers and other mechanical means. I guess it's not incredibly practical... but it's still a neat little mechanism.

The toughest part was figuring out how to get the lever to drive the trap door at the top of the tower. The trap is necessary in order to give the landing platform enough time to get back to the bottom before the dice. It's not perfect, but it works well enough for a first version.

You are a good engineer!!!

But if you don't warm the dice upon your person, how will the luck magics permeate?

[Stian Sahlsten Rosvald]

It's a very cool gadget, but I don't see myself taking it to play craps in the casino :/

Ahaha, Just recently was playing that and wishing for a Dice Tower. A shame I didn't have one on hand. Came home and made a lego one. Was proud of mine until i say this.

hmm, time to find all my lego on the attic again, since I just ordered Hero Quest board game, and a dice tower would be more than handy for it. Well done on it.

and how do you plan to use this

[mullman89]

I'm going to have to build one for my D&D-group

Me touching the dice can only make things worse.

Very impressive. I built a non-moving one myself, but this is better.

I would put one more level inside for the dice to bounce off of.
