About us Love LEGO Technic as much as we do? Learn engineering while you are building! As the makers that we are we love to create and share our LEGO ideas with others. We create building instructions of our own developed models from existing LEGO sets, from small to big and from easy to complex. There is always something for everyone. Focusing on GBCs (Great Ball Contraptions) enables us to include even more smart, clever, unique, mesmerizing mechanisms into our builds. Learn about physics, mechanics, gearing, pneumatics, forces, timing, logic, mechanisms and engineering in general by building our…
We design Great Ball Contraptions created entirely from official LEGO sets. And we made it really easy to get yourself started today too! Meet also the rest of our GBC Family to see all our models (created from official LEGO Sets) and start building yourself using our building instructions! littleBits Brick adapter LittleBits launched their Brick adapter. So here you can find quick and easy tips and tricks to get you started. There are a number of challenges while building and integrating the two with each other. We have made it easy for you to get starting building awesome machines from LEGO and littleBits. With our…
Counting and sorting your GBC Balls that roll by in your GBC loop can be very useful and interesting. Next to having real time statistics of your GBC loop you also have way more control over your entire layout. To get you started we have developed multiple LEGO Mindstorms Counter and Sorter Modules created from the original LEGO Sets. Next to our NXT and EV3 Counter and Sorting GBCs there are also other alternatives possible. Read more down below. 1. Using LEGO Mindstorms NXT or EV3 Set We have developed multiple GBC Ball Counters and Sorters for the…
Great Ball Contraptions – The greatest feat of LEGO engineering Of all the things made with LEGO, our favorites are inevitably the Great Ball Contraptions. GBCs, as they are known for short, make an elegant ballet of moving GBC Balls and are kind of Rube Goldberg-style ball machines designed with the sole purpose of moving GBC balls through a circuit. Each module of the machine has been carefully designed to efficiently move the GBC Balls (individually or in groups) on to the next module. The mechanisms that move the balls through the loop are generally as complex as possible, using clever actions that…
