Lego GBC module: Cars with adaptive cruise control(subtitled)

This is my original Great Ball Contraition (GBC) module. I made a car that carries the balls with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). I use Lego's Powered Up platform.

At some point they are cute.

[@podulox]

5:10 - They are like Tiny Kittens!

[@0LoneTech]

5:15 - perhaps the yellow is losing out because it measures a shorter distance, since its sensor is on the inner side of the track? The straight tracks will have a noisier response.

[@wesleythomas6858]

LoneTech my thoughts too. Radial difference

[@vienbich9741]

But the game has out timesavers

[@tomwaligorski9882]

That or the sensors just give crap readings occasionally. LEGO is pretty high quality stuff but I think a few faulty values are still to expect

[@mozarteanchaos]

@@tomwaligorski9882 could be both, no technology is completely flawless. theres gonna be a couple of false positives/negatives in there, the main uncertain factor is How Many i think one happens at around 5:32 - the cars all come to a standstill, but green bugs out a bit and starts moving again

[@EmilMacko]

That blue one is gonna get fired if it keeps fumbling into the others like that

The carts are very sensitive about their personal space.

[@nak_attak]

Yeah I like to think of the carts like little people driving and whenever they bump eachother from going too quick I like to think they find it funny.

[@KL-jd5zk]

[@GerbenWijnja]

It’s because they want to social distance.

Amazing design, I like how it doesn’t need to stop to empty the load, that could add a lot of possible options for interesting emptying techniques?

smart system level 10,000 Great job Aki Yuki

[@n.gravey3735]

HE KILLED GREEN!!! STOP BULLYING YELLOW!! These are awesome, first time I've seen the hub's in action used in multiples like that! Perhaps look at app cloning, instead of having to use four (for now!) devices?

[@pocarski]

Elon Musk: I am inevitable Akiyuki:

[@HenningDieterichs]

The next step would be to automatically add and remove cars based on expected ball throughput.

[@MajatekYT]

That'd be perfect for both the visual aspect as well as reduce battery charge wastage - have a little single-lane rail yard off to the side with a lane switcher that counts the average amount of ball throughput (switching only when there's not enough balls to warrant more than 1 cart and if there's nothing near it to prevent derailment) to store some of those carts, and uses the same type of gate as the main feeder to hold them in the pen.

[@junyingo1396]

Thanks Aiyuki, very cool!

[@SOUL_Creations]

It'd be really cool to see these travel different random paths, so the order of the carts ends up constantly changing as the module runs!

[@jasonwaterland8473]

Its nice to see this channel alive again

[@SmashingBricksAU]

Another really great design. Having built a number of GBC builds with Powered Up and Boost, the issue is feed back latency between the phone/tablet and the hub as well as the variations in the sensors, they all have there own little nuances. Light also plays a big part, the bright recording lights bouncing off the glossy bricks does also cause an issue. When I built a sorting robot with Boost it had trouble between yellow, white and orange because of bright light

[@luftwolf7405]

And again a very cool system, thanks for sharing!

[@xavierloux]

Awesome work !

[@Natsu_orange]

工場の自動走行ロボットみたいで可愛い！ Akiyukiさんならレールなしのを作れそう

[@DiegoDevPro]

Excellent design! Congrats!

[@deadisnend]

That's amazing! U're a genius

[@BerthilvanBeek]

Nice design and execution! This exactly shows why Boost/PowerUp is not suitable for GBC. 4 phones/tablets, all the Boost/PowerUp parts and a lot of batteries! My whole family would be without phones for a week when I run this at LEGO World Utrecht :)

[@RohanBeckett]

This will hopefully be achievable, when Boost adds in Multi Hub Support (which has been promised)... and as for cost of parts, and batteries - that's never stopped GBC builders before! ;)

[@RohanBeckett]

and in the meantime, there are other software products that can control multiple hubs at once (Brick Automation Project, etc)

[@SamFriesen]

[@benstoever]

A great module (as always :-) ). I especially like the different possibilities of the cars to interact. The BOOST components offer great possibilities but there would be so much more possible if the BOOST or PowerFunctions app could connect to multiple hubs at the same time. Not only would we not need multiple smart phones for one MOC, a sensor connected to one hub could trigger actions of another.

[@unbag]

This is rlly cool

Amazing

[@Kris-ws]

Very cool

[@hamjudo]

I suspect if all the sensors are adjusted to match, then any set of 3 cars will push the 4th around. The set of 3 will bounce against each other, so the lead car ends up pushing the 4th car around. Well, most of the time. It would be a metastable system. The cars can be placed on the track so none of them are moving. If each car changes its following distance randomly, it will break deadlocks, and make it look like the cars are losing their patience.

[@jamesgroccia644]

Wow, this is cool. You could make a ball quarry using this system! Think about this: from the rest of the GBC, balls are randomly sorted into little mine shafts, big enough for these carts to travel through. The cars go in empty, and come out as if there were little workers inside the mine filling them. The balls are then transported to one of your bigger cars by way of conveyors, hoppers, and chutes, and are then dropped into the next module. Keep in mind that with the amount of balls going out, the next module has to handle large numbers. I would recommend the ball-dozer or your wave module.

[@13oz18]

the blue one is so fast!

[@tanmaysaha8764]

Very good

[@notmuch_23]

The new Lego Powered Up update that makes it possible to control multiple hubs with one device makes this _much_ more feasible!

[@Vindictator1972]

Now all we need is for LEGO to release a command hub sorta thing that can connect to many of these at a time. Imagine the train layouts.

[@samschellhase8831]

you should add some rubber double axle connectors to act as bumpers between the two, unless they're too elastic and cause them to fall off the track too much

[@ChaosOptional]

Cool, and they look like furbies...

[@jessendelft-1]

You could add an eye on the right side, then it looks like it has two eye's, and it's like driving faces around the track :D

[@nateogamingyt8631]

You should make the tires at the start into a chain lift it would go faster because chains can go up to 17 mph

[@imeakdo7]

5:39 it is because the value read from the sensor changes slightly due to electrical noise.
