Iterative Design

When designing our GBCs and LEGO models, and all of our products actually, we always use iterative design to achieve our final solution. It is a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process. The guys from Sioux .NETonTrack are working on their latest invention for transporting trays around a track and they seem to use it as well. In this video they show us how they develop it and what problems need to be solved. For one problem our Powered Up Extension Cable stepped in and extended the cable of the color sensor up front. If you look carefully you can see it hanging in between the carts.

For sure check out their Youtube channel as they have many more cool systems build from LEGO.
Fun Trivia :) their name “.NETonTrack” comes from the software .NET they use to control all the LEGO motors and sensors.


Have you also build one of our models yourself?

A lot of GBC Balls

We needed a module which could bring a lot of GBC Balls to the top of our GBC 51 Gravel Works. What better way to do than a double steep conveyor! The new 7 stud wide yellow conveyor parts are just perfect for this task. But why do we need so many GBC Balls at the top? Well, in the upcoming post you will see why … Stay tuned!

Notice the path on the left? Well it is more than you think it is. Can you already figure out the layout of this new GBC?
