One of our new models on the GBC 51 Gravel Works for the big LEGO set 42131 is the wave machine.
With 7 sections it is one of the biggest modules we have yet created and it is so much fun to watch in action.
A big upsell for this one is the height gain where the GBC Balls will roll uphill 7 studs higher when they reach the end.
Can’t wait to show you more!
Today in the country spotlight: India!
Our products and building instructions find their way all over the world. From the USA, South Korea, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Europe and South Africa and so many more countries.
In which country are you located?
Arjun from India is a young, very promising, upcoming engineer as he recently build our GBC 44 Scoop Loupe (42121 Alternate Build) using our building instructions.
See the video below where he is showing off all of its features. Keep up the good work Arjun and thank you for sharing.
This year LEGO has again released a brand new Technic Helicopter (Set 42145 Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter) which we are eager to get our hands on.
But do you still remember our previous helicopter we converted into a GBC? Yes, the GBC 17 Wing Lift is already 6 year old but we still love the elegant movement it brings to the table. The synchronized wings lift the GBC Balls up on every rotation of the main driving axle. All powered with the motor which comes in the LEGO set 42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter. If we are not mistaken the special wing blades were introduced in this LEGO set 42052 and are not often used as they are quite task specific. This however doesn’t stop us to think outside the box and use them in a complete unorthodox way…
Also, I love the music in this one! Do you perhaps recognize it from somewhere? ;)
Pete Dubois surely blew our minds away. In record times we already received some of the best fan builds back of our latest GBC and it makes our day. It seems this set is very popular and you really like the GBC design we have come up with. Thank you!
We are of course talking about the alternate build of the LEGO 42128 Heavy-duty Tow Truck, GBC 50 Tow Lift, which we recently released as an early adopter.
Pete used a LEGO Powered Up L motor in combination with the official LEGO Powered Up App as shown in the video. The program is also described in our building instructions which makes it a great set for newbies in the LEGO Powered Up software system.
Together with the GBC Funnel XL L and the xylophone keys it really makes a great show to watch in action.
Did you know that we do also give workshops to schools, companies and organizations?
It is so much fun for us to get the hands on together with the participants and introduce them into the wonderful world of engineering using our Great Ball Contraptions.
Also interested into all the possibilities? Give our workshop page a read and write us for all the possibilities.
Who knows we will be working together very soon.
