Have you build the FREE GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop already?

Szilard Gyalay from the United States build our latest GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop with our free building instructions. Made from the LEGO 42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck set.

 

He mentions to us: “Great introductory build using Lego 42167 (Dump Truck). This set still available and affordable (under 30$). Thank you PV-Production for the free instruction so all can enjoy the great world of GBC.! ”

 

Thank you Szilard for sharing this with us :)

 

 


Have you also build one of our models yourself?

Steam Eduation Workshop @ Sioux Technologies

Last week we had the tremendous joy of bringing one of our Steam Education workshops (using LEGO Technic) to Sioux Technologies in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Sioux is a strategic high-tech solutions provider that develops, innovates and assembles complex high-tech systems. A perfect audience for introducing to the wonderful world of Great Ball Contraptions!
Employees and their children where invited to participate and with over 150 registrations there was for sure enough interest.

We design complex alternative builds from existing LEGO sets. So it is really easy to get started and yet provide challenges. This requires thinking outside the box which makes our workshops unique.

One group build our latest GBC 53 Marble Music Machine while another group worked on our GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator. Both unique in their own way using very different technologies, like pneumatics, mechanics and software! As a team we guided them on how to split the big machines into submodules and how to work together on it.

After a full day of building we ended up with 17 times the GBC 53 Marble Music Machines and 8 times the GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator! It was a great day with amazing results and the aftermovie speaks for itself.

Thanks to Sioux Technologies and all their awesome master builders! It was an absolute joy!
