“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live” ~ A. Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling)
But who said, you can’t do both at the same time? Time for a Throwback Thursday!
Going through our archives, I found this gem: the GBC 18 Port Factory. As you can see in the video below, this GBC has a great collection of modules, which got me very excited! Thanks to the quite specific parts of the original LEGO Set, unique modules could be implemented into this GBC.
For starters there is the Seesaw Module, where different directions in the Seesaw are used to use Gravity to lead the GBC balls in the right direction only to release them when the rope linked to the end of the seesaw is pulled tight. Next up: the Wing Push Module, which is used to push the GBC balls uphill. Then there is the Tilting Bucket Module, where the balls take place in the transparent bucket transporting them vertically with an ingenious mechanism. Last up is my personal favorite module: the Tilting Bucket Module! Within this module, the nose of the original boat is transformed into a bucket, which tilts after being filled with 3-4 balls, dropping the balls onto the platform to start all over again!
