(...) 34 or more of them can be bent into a complete circle with the treads facing in this way (the circle maintains near circularity up to about 40-45 links, depending on how floppy you want it). By supporting it on the outside edges, and "rolling" (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Maybe also use the pin holes to build an internal spiral? Lift the balls up like concrete in a concrete mixer. ROSCO (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've not made very much GBC before but this was such a nice idea that I thought I'd have a go Brian: (URL) I used 36 tracks with pins on alternate ones to give a maximum 4 balls/second output. This can be reduced easily to the standard 1 (...) (18 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

(...) Hey, very nice Mark! Warning, watching those little balls go around and around in a creation of your own can be... very addictive :-) (...) Nifty. I wouldn't worry at all about having *too much* throughput; since the overall rate is 1 bps, the (...) (18 years ago, 22-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Mark, Nicely done, and welcome to the never ending fun of the GBC! I've been also toying with the idea of using these tracks, and made a module using them as part of the GBC setup we had at Modelma (a modelism fair here in Belgium) Nothing really (...)

(...) Absolutely! :-) (...) I thought about that when you said so before, but then I thought it was better to keep the tracks rigid, otherwise the tension might vary in the round ends, requiring good control of the tracks on the straight part.

(...) I really like the minifig bulldozing the balls off the circular track. It's very clever. So is the oil derrick. I also like the wall you erected around the layout. Every GBC should have one of those! In the video what is that wavy red thing (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
