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.

[@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.

[@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.

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]

[@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

[@JTCF]

At some point they are cute.

[@podulox]

5:10 - They are like Tiny Kittens!

[@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.

[@KL-jd5zk]

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.

[@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)

[@Rhyne2000]

Thats genius! But why the hell we are in need to power these four guys by four Tablets/Phones? Thats just silly and one single table should be able to handle that with ease

[@SynchronizorVideos]

It might just be so he could activate them separately in this specific demo.

[@Miyakans]

@@SynchronizorVideos Nope. It is a stupid thing about the whole range of powered up motors and hubs. The hub must always be connected to a device or remote, otherwise they just stop. Also, remotes/devices can only control one hub at a time.

[@NirateGoel]

Seriosuly? Which genius thought that was a good idea.

[@Miyakans]

@@NirateGoel No idea. Apparently they have promised multi hub support in the future.

[@dinhtuan752]

[@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.

[@TheAgentAPM]

The variation with reversed one resembles a Minecraft Piston Flying Machine movementwise.

[@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

[@MrHack4never]

is it possible to use sensor readings to control other things like with NXT? Then you could make automatic slow down behind others/near stops etc.

[@kurichan142]

I've seen a couple theories, but at around 5:30, you say you don't know why the yellow car is being pushed. My thought is that since the pink one moved forward, the blue moved forward to compensate for that move. Then, that causes the yellow-green to move forward, thus pushing the yellow. The yellow one doesn't have this pressure to move forward because all the other cars move towards it from the front, rather than the back. So, it loses out and gets pushed back. Once the lime car pushes forward the yellow car, space is freed for the blue to occupy, allowing pink to move forward, and the cycle continues. Edit: Changed the time stamp to be more accurate, from 5:15 to 5:30.

[@notmuch_23]

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

[@Lukevanhalen]

The pushing of the cars could be because of disturbance created by the 2 sensors facing each other. The sensors probably use the same infrared frequency and when they face each other they create reflections causing wrong measurements.

[@dinhtuan752]

Not star it's plate gear please for 2019

[@CUB3zOfficial]

[@blendpinexus1416]

oooo, i think contraptions like these are used for moving balls between sections and such where modules would not be appropriate

[@zunkman1]

That's really great. I think the next step should be having it count the balls, and only proceed when they have a full load! Amazing.

[@dinhtuan752]

You don't need another phone. Use 3.0 app instead. up to 4.

[@rosedruid]

The variable behaviour is caused by lag time. The time spent sending a signal to the phones processing it and getting it back and then acting is high enough that it puts them out of sync.

[@TheOfficialCzex]

I especially like the usage of that large gear in lifting the balls to the top of the dispenser.

[@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.

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
