Although our products are well compatible with our GBCs, that’s not their only purpose! Joakim of Think Clever And Smart took our USB Power Box and solved his problems with ‘the pinsetter’:

“One of the longest running problems I’ve had with the pinsetter has been dying batteries. I’m always running low and it prevents me from working as much as I’d want on the machine. After a lot of searching, I finally found a solution! PV-Productions has a battery box that replaces the standard Double A batteries for the Mindstorms robots. I got two, to power the pinsetter indefinitely!“

GBC 43 Rocking Raiser? GBC 44 Scoop Loupe? Turbo Spin Funnel? Left? Right? Balls? Help!

Not to worry! We’ve got your back! No need to choose: we have made an excavating pack including all the building instructions (LEGO set 42121) and accessories you need!

As a company, we would like to get you involved in the process of developing our different GBCs and provide you with all ins and outs of the models. Therefore, we came up with a new concept: Fun Fact Friday! From now on you will be able to read these facts (some of which are already to be found on the productpage) every now and then in our newsposts and on social media. Enjoy!

Fun fact – GBC 37 Ratchet Ride: We knew from the beginning that a GBC module from the LEGO set 42097 was gonna be very unique and would bring us many challenges. As you may notice on the part list of the LEGO 42097, there are no driving sprockets included to drive the conveyor belt. So the main focus quickly became to figure out how to drive the conveyor belt in an elegant and efficient way. The Ratchet Mechanism seemed to be the perfect choice!

Another Thursday, another Throwback!

Today’s Throwback: the GBC 12 Pinball Wizard! What’s so special about this Throwback (apart from it being a double Throwback, both to the GBC and to the computer game I spent too many hours playing…) is that this GBC leaves a lot up to the builder. Where do you want to place a spin? You name it! What shape do you want to make a spin? You create it!

Next to the design, this GBC contains some brilliant techniques changing the slope of the pinball ramp, pumping the GBC balls up into the air, altering the direction the balls are bounced onto the ramp, etc.!
