After amassing a heap of the soccer balls from Steve Hassenplug and Larry
Pieniazek, I felt kinda guilty of not having a product to show off. So I got
down and built my very first GBC, a humble ball pump to get the balls moving.
It uses the traditional crank and piston mechanism. For the piston, I used the
Technic Piston 2 x 2 Block (#3652) which I found in the Resouce Technology Set
#9609. It works better than a stack of 1x2 bricks with plate on top.
Here is the heart of the mechanism.
This simple ball pump will probably not make it to Brickfest but it can keep the
kids here (in Singapore) enthralled for hours.
Thanks Steve and Larry!
CS.
