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!

Fun Fact: Although we had a pretty clear idea of all the functions we could include it was a real challenge to incorporate them using only the parts of the LEGO set. From a design standpoint we also wanted to have all the control handles on one side so it’s easier to adjust and play with it.
