Pneumatic Ball Factory V2.0
Three electric motors, 17 pneumatic pistons, three servos, and almost 60 inches of Lego conveyor belts power this GBC by Quanix, which looks like a miniaturized version of a car factory. Robotic arms pick up individual balls and load them onto palettes which are shunted around the tiny factory on conveyor belts. It’s a joy to watch in motion, but with more than 3,000 parts it also looks like it was a nightmare to build, especially when it came to routing and organizing all of the pneumatic tubing so it wasn’t in the way.
