(...) Between burning out two motors on a prototype and having the tire in my pirate ship become bald by the end of BrickFest, I think I'm done building GBC shooting mechanisms. But they're so much fun . . . I wonder if my prototype (which is still (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hello to everyone & GBC addicts! I went To Breakfast Television on Tuesday, sept 13, to present the now VERY famous Great Ball Contraption (GBC). After the success in Brickfest, AND the smiles of KKK, I decided to introduce the GBC in Nova Scotia. (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.fun.community, lugnet.loc.ca.ns, lugnet.technic)

For my next GBC Module (Find out more about the GBC at www.teamhassenplug.org) I have been wotking on a ball tosser. I have come up with a design that shoots into a Hailfire Droid wheel 'funnel' put five feet away. (pics coming soon) I am wondering (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

What exactly is the advantage of a Torsen differential design? Does it eliminate slip, or is it just a more solid design? (URL) (19 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)
