I'm building what amounts to a pitching machine for the Great Ball
Contraption. In most TECHNIC building you're building a gear train to produce
lots of power at the expense of speed. But in this case I need to build one
that has lots of speed and not much power.

You might also use a fast 2838 motor http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2838c01 to
direct-drive the ball throwing wheel. A friend used this setup in a GBC module
http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Philo_Reims_2005_27 that worked
several hours without motor problems.

Hey Philo!

I was looking at the 'Summer Days' pictures.  It looks like you guys had a bunch of
fun, but many questions came to mind.

I couldn't find a good picture of the Spybot-Train-GBC (GBB) module
(http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Philo_Reims_2005_55) until I
looked into another directory (see below)

So, how much water could these bridges hold, and why don't you have pictures of them
failing: http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Philo_Reims_2005_61

Which car went the farthest (what exactly was the
contest?)ttp://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Darkbaron_86
(I'd pick this car: http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Darkbaron_12)


So, I went looking for pictures of the Spybot-Train, and I found the Weekend GBB
directory...
http://gallery.freelug.org/we_GBB_050605

Now, this is the stuff you need to post.  We all get to see your finely tuned GBC
modules, which usually appear to be a work of art.  It's nice to see a few
not-so-perfect modules, like those that can't keep up, or the one lifting a bunch of
balls, that has a hand below, to catch pieces that fall off...

Nice video & pictures of something that I know was a fun time...  :)

Hello Steve! (...) Yes, it was a great time! (...) Actually the best picture is here (URL) (but all text info is in French...). More on that module on my website in some future!
