The Great Big Useless Contraption is a lego Rube Goldberg machine of sorts. Its nonpurpose in life is to ferry little balls around a meandering track.

 

This project was obviously inspired by the awesome GBC (great ball contraption) although the name was concieved before I knew what GBC was (odd, hey :P )

 

This MOC is built on a wooden base for transportation. All the modules are taped down.

 

Features:

NXT ball counter

Dual wheel lift

Ball cannon (watch the video ;) )

Double screw

Tilt ramp

2 caterpillar track lifts

2 flip flops

The Wave (watch the video)

The tri spinny thing

and assorted ramps and fandangles.

 

If one wants to see the first two (note: these are from almost 3 years ago when I was 11 and 12 years old respectively so I probably displayed gross photography skills and terrible spelling/grammar/whatever)

One's skill can certainly improve in 3 years, eh? The most interesting thing about these is that they had no grasp of colour scheme whatsoever :P
