Lego GBC module: 6-axis Robot

My great ball contraption (GBC) module using 6-axis (6DOF) robot arm. Lego Mindstorms EV3 is used to control the robot.

Every time, I'm like "this is it, he's gotta have exhausted every possible nook and cranny of the design bucket" but then you always return with another masterpiece

[@gkbrickworks7924]

I didnt expect you here lol

[@purplefox8042]

omg lol it’s u

[@ramyadel775]

ذسس

[@leoterss]

what are you doing here? lmao

[@terencetsang9518]

Wow, the movements are so agile! It’s overkill for a GBC module, but I love this kind of overkill.

[@WoLpH]

Terence Tsang GBC is overkill by definition. And that’s why I love it :D

[@mescalinum]

GBC is all about overkill, that's the beauty of it afterall.

[@kiernanmurphy6063]

No such thing as overkill the more complex the better

[@casperhansen826]

Why make it easy? A fantastic accomplishment, nicely done!

[@anononomous]

I like how the movements are just loose enough that is looks a bit more alive.

[@MattTester]

Add a Lego Johnny 5 head looking left and right and it would be an even better effect. 5 is alive!

[@ricky107_]

It's amazing

[@Thomotron]

"What is my purpose?" "You move balls"

[@beeboo5433]

A man of culture

[@TiagoCatarino]

Overly engineered! Overly satisfying to watch! Another masterpiece!

[@WestCoastWheelman]

Next thing you know, an AI version of this arm is going to be running around a track on the inside of the next GLBC, using some fancy tracking to fix stuck balls and oversee all the other lower tier machines like their loving robot arm overlord.

[@Green24152]

YES.

[@synexiasaturnds727yearsago7]

next *n e x t*

[@alanyong]

"If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing" Best channel on youtube!

[@sawyerklegr]

Wow, it looks so cool!!! I love how “human” the motion of it is. I like the way you built the output as well.

[@samschellhase8831]

I love the movement after it lifts the platform and spins around to prepare for lifting the box. The reverse movement doesn’t look as extravagant, and I love the flair

[@tankeroftheeast105]

Man, the Japanese Lego community is extremely lucky to have you building such fantastic GBC modules

[@edthedungeonmaster1015]

Akiyuki is a genius. I just took a tour of FANUC America headquarters and this was very reminiscent. A huge fan of your work, keep them coming!

[@JTCF]

Oh, I remember watching video with ver1 at around 2014. This entire channel is so nostalgic for me

[@Samurai_7997]

流石AKIYUKI！俺達に出来ない事を 平然とやってのける！ そこに痺れる憧れるｩ!

[@honda4790]

ばらしてパーツを種類ごとに並べてみて欲しいw

[@fernandolegogbc7223]

An exemplary GBC. One more demonstration of the great Akiyuki.

[@tomasullrich]

Simply wonderful. Amazing work! Thank you. Building instructions will be most welcome.

[@OlbaidFractalium]

もはやロボットですね👏👏👏

[@DerGeogast]

Wow! It's a masterpiece! So elegant and smooth

[@_PATRlCK]

The design, technic & the function is pure awesome!!!

[@timehunter9467]

I’m in awe of this creation! I’ve been trying to build my own six axis robot, but I can’t work out how to mount the motors!

[@rixmaia]

Awesome interpolation movements!

[@sartosfera]

Genius as always and... so cute :3

[@nolimitsluke]

Mr. Akiyuki you are truly amazing!

[@grohl666]

When you think Akiyuki cannot be more genius than he has already proven to be, he drops a bomb like this. Mindblowing piece of art!!!

[@NimbleJack3]

Usually six-axis arms are played out, but this has excellent execution and multiple tasks for the arm to perform. Very smooth! Thankyou for sharing.

[@pixels._.]

Wow those movements are smooth, you're an absolute genius

[@pauldeddens5349]

I fucking LOVE robot arms like this _especially in Lego_ *_and especially with all that cool wiring and gearing_*

[@kmyerslp85]

SUPER IMPRESSED with this build and ingenuity.

[@dj_metanov]

Just incredible! BRAVO!

[@cmansos6236]

Akiyuki: lets build something simple: a bucket of balls and dumping it Also akiyuki: screw simple

[@bloomp7999]

very pleasant to watch !!

[@JLTSoft]

I have said it before, and I will say it again. You've got skills! Nice job.

[@MineLuxx]

Unbelievable work and engineering!

[@tinkot]

Nice job!

[@kepuchi2869]

かっこいいなぁ

[@appercumstock3017]

Fantastic, great engineering hardware + software!

[@okboing]

Truly incredible feat of engineering. Bravo!

[@Bl4ckw0lf1]

I would love to see this in line with other GBCs.

[@aletassoo7571]

This is one of the best LEGO build I've ever see

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

This is amazing. Using pneumatics to power the locking of the bucket in such a compact way is really clever!

[@user-cv1uq4tk2g]

才能ありすぎ

[@michakreie]

You're an absolute genius!

[@Legominder]

Amazing. I have been planning to build this with RCX that time. Bought 6 rotation sensors with long cables, but was then discouraged by their accuracy (signal jumps) and the difficulty of buiding a compact and strong hand. Respect towards your solution, nice workaround with Pneumatics for the 7th degree powering the tool.

[@czebalaf]

This is next level awsomeness!

[@Unmannedair]

Nicely done.

[@jolugoma]

Amazing!!

[@ramgaardnet1477]

Love it!

[@phrysk]

Outstanding!

[@snacksy7754]

If this design somehow becomes easy to build think of all the cool robots that could be made. Tough seeing how 2 EV3s are required i somehow doubt that. Still really amazing, best one yet!

[@jasonwaterland8473]

I love it!

[@legomasterbuilder9118]

This is engineering at it finest. I love building small things like that, where you have to compact so many mechanisms in a place. You do it so well!!

[@guopeneferozz]

Amazing

[@DeeNice18]

no way! its so cool

[@colincampbell3679]

Amazing stuff.. Shows us how good Lego tech has become since the Electronic programmable unit and timers etc. have been included in the Lego list of parts? The closest I ever got to this was simple controlled old style Lego motors and battery boxes and Pneumatic's back long ago. Like comparing stone age tools to Modern ones!

[@IceBotYT]

I can't wait to see this in the GBC

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

That is so compact I want it everywhere

[@lionelleutwiler7506]

Amazing 😎

[@pixels._.]

He's back, boiiIIIIIISSSSS!!

[@Khalashnikovf]

From optimizing point of view of movements, the lift up handle is on the wrong place, but I guess its becasue of the "show". Great job as usual, you always amaze us all! :)

[@glutenfreegam3r177]

This is like watching my 3D printer work...you know what it is going to do but you can't stop watching!

[@MattTester]

Massive visual appeal, I think people will get trapped watching this when you add it to a full GBC. Ever thought about a module based on a vacuum? Not sure how it could be done with Lego but there must be a way.

[@JoranPrins]

A masterpiece! Really well done! Do you ever come to the Legoworld in Utrecht?

[@jarradmaras]

Brilliant! Will you be making any instructions for this?

[@bigcat26]

Balls: What a fun trip!

[@alessandrotorboli3782]

Never clicked a notification so fast... This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen

[@morkovija]

Absolute unit. Would be a treasure chest of value if turned in actual set by Lego. So much potential for education!

[@johansten7976]

I don't want to *think* about what it would cost! It's got two Mindstorms units, I-don't-know-how many motors, and pneumatics. $500 at *least*, prob more!

[@SmashingBricksAU]

Very nice work. I am also building one, it is not as easy as it looks!

[@LukeManiaStudios]

IT'S SO POINTLESS I LOVE IT

[@cirlu_bd]

this is the hand of a true gentleman !

[@chedidkamal837]

WoW you surely deserve that 4 months per project

[@twentycentpiece]

Just... wow.

[@Sirenhound]

This was a triumph!

[@DiegoDevPro]

Excelsior!

[@oh_no787]

the only module where I find the lifter interesting

[@masterofthelag8414]

It's only a few years until lego can make more lego and the singularity is complete, and if this isn't proof I dunno what is. (seriously amazing, having used mindstorms I know how much of a pain it is to work with, can't imagine how long it took to get this thing working...)

[@Buy-n-large]

i can smell the warm motors already

[@chrissmarduksrccarcarnage4940]

Awesome work man...i must pay respect for this ... I Love this Thing...can IT make Coffee? Please make an Instruktion;-)

[@SnowTerebi]

Dang, this is so close to the real robots in real factories it doesn't feel like GBC anymore. Wish I can see more innovative but "useless" mechanics from Akiyuki.

[@antoineddpLEGOTechnic]

Really great moc ! How many hours did you spent to develop the software ?

[@grisbrstmsger7737]

Woooooow!!!!

[@lumirbaca1831]

Super.

[@Evdafawth]

What has science done? Brilliance, I say! 🧐

[@codingvio7383]

I cant say this enough but here I say it again "RESPECT"

[@mantzyvid]

Me pone nervioso... ¡buen trabajo!

[@miga9963]

When you need Robots to Play with Lego while you are too busy Building Them ;]

[@arealassassin]

lol I kept expecting it to stop and do a smug little victory dance!

[@timmark4190]

Awesome. This is great. Can you please describe the part number and description for the black wires(axle wires)

[@stanislavperekhoda8166]

Fantastic creation. Do you planing to make instruction someday?

[@mahatsuboh3093]

im not chinese but i love this channel

[@kladovec]

OMG, what sould I say, amazing.

[@Ethanium]

Lego Group should really create an Akiyuki/ GBC Lego technic collection, based on the Lego Ideas model. Of course Akiyuki (or any GBC author) would get a part of the selling price. I bet everything this would be a massive success and it would change from the Technic cars we get each year.

[@fernandolegogbc7223]

A good idea that you don't think Lego Group promotes goes. He doesn't even sell us balls, let's say nothing about power supplies and soon there will be no PF motors. I hope there are at least adapters between the PowerUP engines and the regulators of the yellow drive trains.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

"Lego is just a toy for children." Lego:

[@LordObst]

after watching this i feel dumb af, great job!

[@MatsYoo]

This guy could build an automatic car assembly out of legos lmao

[@user-qf3te6iy3j]

EV3はモーターポート4つあっていいな。NXTだと3つだから3台でこのロボットアーム作れるね。

[@boRegah]

What do you do for a living? Are you, like, a technician or somethin'? ; ) (I'm in awe, btw. Lego _magic_ !)

[@user-yu8tn2bu4o]

最もすごいのやってくれたモーニングやるかー

[@_Everyone__]

Amazing... I wonder how long time it took to build?

[@krisswnm]

他的作動是如此的完美

[@rslotb]

This needs a GlaDOS version..
