[@nolimitsluke]

one ball

[@stuffystudios.]

It be like: Let me in... Let me INNNNNNNN

[@simonmultiverse6349]

Aeroplane? Catapult? One thing I've never seen is a river or a canal. Surely those plastic balls float? That can't be hard to arrange. Then they can be dropped in a river, go down a whirlpool, etc. We could have a Niagara Falls and a fountain with balls popping out of it. Second suggestion: air jets. A row of air jets would pick up a ball and transport it in mid air somewhere.

[@joops110]

These things just keep getting better. Only a few years and we'll see teleport or warp modules.

[@pixelprizm]

You guys should put more balls in the contraptions in order to have a steady stream for the whole video

[@nintySW]

Yes

[@jamesayars591]

With some of the slower moving machines it wouldn’t make much of a difference they would still be backed up

[@cpu_im_a_bot6604]

More BALLS u say

[@jimstanley_49]

I think the intention is that every module passes one ball per second, but you can see that some modules don't pick up a ball every try. It would probably be as tedious as the antennae lifter times the number of modules to get them all in sync with each other to keep a steady stream moving.

[@samschellhase8831]

The filling cam module, that raises up the train car bucket, I'm hugely impressed by the timing. It raises the bucket on the cam first, then it translates over using the top portion, and then when the top portion is stopped, the bucket follows the cam again. Same in reverse, follow cam first, then top track, then cam to fall down again. It's incredible that they were able to get that to work, and from the looks of it, pretty reliably too

[@commodoreNZ]

7:45 Mind blown! One day Legos will experiment with us like this in ways we cannot imagine

listen idiot by reliable he means that it keeps feeding balls while its on. That one ball didnt jam anything or stop other balls from moving. You just think that that counts as a jam because of your pathetic brain.

Glad to see so many of my instructions being useful.

[@aronslegogbcs1057]

thanks for creating the akiyuki project so that we can get the chance to build these amazing machines

[@TechnicBlakbird]

You're welcome. This kind of large layout is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping someone would have the ambition to do when I made the instructions. I'm particularly pleased to see the train/crane module which takes a lot of patience to get running correctly.

They must think that the great ball contraption is boring and Lego sets that don't move are fun, but after you build one of those, it becomes very useless because it doesn't move. Lol

Damn that's a really deep and high IQ comment

These ball contraptions are cool and all, but I'd like to see someone make a mini lego factory that separates 2x2 bricks and builds a simple object then breaks the object down again for sorting. That would be awesome

Pretty much though. See that part on the left at 2:40 that says EV3 on it, you plug that into a computer and write a program for it's sensors and motors. Much like a Raspberry Pi.
