It has never been easier to build a complete Great Ball Contraption (GBC) loop yourself! GBC 26 features a nice waving lift module which can directly be inserted in any GBC layout. Using a more accessible LEGO Set and focusing on one single mechanism this GBC is by far one of the best GBCs to get started.
This GBC is entirely built using only parts from the LEGO Container Yard and can be referred to as model C of the 42062. This GBC makes sure you master the GBC building techniques and tricks so that you eventually also can build your own GBCs. The whole machine is powered by hand on default but can easily be upgraded with any LEGO motor (more information in the building instructions).
Master gearing & mechanisms
Learn about the wonderful world of mechanisms by building our GBC 26 Wave Lift Module which features a nice efficient Wave Lift mechanism. The GBC Balls are being hold in the beginning of the module until the wave lift arm comes down and picks up a batch of GBC Balls. It then rises the wave arm again until the balls start to roll and exit the module. This GBC can easily be inserted in a bigger GBC layout without any other modifications. In this way you can easily combine GBC 26 with other GBC Modules. How long can you make the loop?!
Fun Fact
Designing a GBC from such small part inventory really took all the ingenuity and experience we gathered over the years. Parts are being used in a new way and many problems had to be solved for getting this GBC to work and making it sturdy and reliable. Using over 94% of the parts that come with the set we really did get the best and most out of the original LEGO 42062 set. There was a real challenge to build a GBC from such a small set but we succeeded again.
