Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Team Building

Do you usually build your lego technics sets/GBCs alone or do you build together with others? Although building with Lego is often looked upon as a solitary hobby, you can easily do it together with others! Even better: as the GBCs consist out of multiple modules, multiple people (or even groups!) can have their own project within the same GBC!

 

Throwback Thursday: GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator

It’s time for a Thorwback Thursday! In today’s spotlight: the GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator.

What makes this GBC quite different from the other GBCs is that this GBC uses very few gears for the amount of movement. Instead the biggest action within this GBC is powered by airflow! As the valves open and close, the horizontal and vertical pneumatic cylinders are alternately activated, forcefully directing air into different directions. The effect? The scissor elevator moves up and down in a perfect choreography!
