TCAS Lego Pinsetter Final Rebuild - Episode 3

This is the third episode in a series where the TCAS Pinsetter is modified to become as reliable as needed for me to say it's finished. After this series is completed, the only thing left to do is to reveal the distributor to you all.

Been watching this for years and amazing to see the evolution and upgrades. Well done sir!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thank you so much!

[@bliss_gore5194]

I finally see the face of the person who inspired me to build things when I was younger, haha :)

[@narwodev]

This is probably the best mechanism I've ever seen. So complicated, but so elegant. Can't wait to see it this weekend! Only thing it misses is an RCX programmable brick...then you'll have the whole family.

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thank you! I’ve made some small improvements since this as well. You’ll be able to see everything in just a few days! 😁

[@AstonishingStudios]

This better not end as disappointingly as the Marble Machine X series. I need to make this when it's done!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

I promise! I'm following that as well and I share your feelings for sure

[@PinDominator]

I like the simplification you made with the rake, simplicity is always better :)

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Exactly! The simpler, the less things that can go wrong :)

[@CosmicEagleYT]

agreed

[@CosmicEagleYT]

Super cool man i plan on redoing mine at somepoint making a mini a2

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

That sweep looks way better than it was before ! Great job !

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thank you!

[@TheGamingKingpin]

You are so impressive, my man. Each time the pinsetter is modified, it really gets me hyped for the final distributor reveal to complete the machine! I'm so stoked! Excellent work so far! :D

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thank you! I’m very excited to show it as well!

[@710b2]

Black sweep looks cool

[@kiwibeast2162]

You have really inspired me. 😀I can't wait for the final distrubutor reveal!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thank you! 😃

[@VortexVR2010]

Thank you so much for inspiring me ive my channel is because of you godbless you man have a good night or day

[@lloydgreenninja7484]

How does the setting table move further down with no pins?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Because if there are pins, it will rest on them instead :)

[@lloydgreenninja7484]

Whats stopping them i cant see anything on the top

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

@@lloydgreenninja7484 its the underside of the pin cups in the setting table that stops them, since they haven’t rotated yet by then. :)

[@5ivepinbowler865]

Looks like a long time coming. Congrats on arriving upon completion!

[@brunswick2815]

I love it! The new sweep looks awesome

[@Kya3D]

Dont know what to say... I'm impressed haha!

[@EzlerDoesStuff]

congratulations! your almost gonna have the worlds first actual working lego bowling alley!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thanks! I'm very excited!

[@PinBoy626]

The pins put pink studs instead of the red so it looks like glow pins it would look better

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

I actually like non glow pins better :)

[@HerrVoragendRapperleiche342]

Pretty amazing dude!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thanks!

[@vastbitar]

Very nice video. and then shall you build a whole bowling hall? with more lanes?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

That would be epic!

[@TheGamingKingpin]

Oh, jeez! My apologies if this is sounding a bit pushy, but imagine the first lane being complete, then we have a pair of lanes sharing *one* ball return! :o

[@cibianthellama]

This guy is too smart, Im actually kinda scared

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

😂

[@morrisgames_yt9989]

AWEEEEESOME

[@DMS4official]

keep up the good work!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thanks, I will!

[@alongcamejao513]

A few 3 I need to say: 1) I have been a big fan of your channel for about 3 years now, I have seen your pinsetter edge toward completion and that day is dawning upon us! 2) Trusty old MacBook! I still use an outdated MacBook Air and it has never let me down. 3) Will instructions be made after the final design?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

1) Thanks! It's always nice to hear from people like you who follow the progress! 2) Yes! I've had that one (the real one) since 2013 and it still works great! I'm no longer using it as my main computer though since I needed a more powerful Mac for school 3) Instructions will be made!

[@alongcamejao513]

@@ThinkCleverAndSmart nice!

[@RSEngineer23]

I think that you will receive a lot of support if you post it on Lego Ideas, and I can definitely see this becoming an official set! Either way, I’ll be buying every piece to this and build it! Well done sir!

[@mangothefox909]

Ya had me curious so I went to my usual center and tested out how yours compares to a GSX, I’d say it’s pretty realistic haha, I have the videos if you wanna see

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Thanks! As you probably know, my previous local center have GSXs and I've gotten a lot of inspiration from that :)

[@TurtleLegoProductions]

3:47 Is that a hint at a lifesize LEGO bowling alley? 👀 Also love the clap, at 4:40.

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Wow that would be cool! But I bet the lego pieces wouldn't be able to hold up haha

[@PinBoy626]

And redo the masking unit so it looks like the newer style Brunswick one

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

I have a few of those already! And even older ones than this as well. I like to switch them around so you might see the newer styles come back as well

[@reddionceagain]

Cool man!

[@TBHD724]

I clicked on this the second I got notified lol

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

That’s great!

[@TBHD724]

This series is awesome, is this the last episode or is there more? I love the new sweep design btw!

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

@@TBHD724 It’s the last episode in this series. There might be one or two more videos before the big reveal but that’s what I will be working on now!

[@TBHD724]

Maybe you should make like a trailer for the final reveal. Also when it's fully finished will you make videos of things like trickshots and doing full games?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

@@TBHD724 Yes that’s exactly the plan! Actually, the trailer is the hardest part since I want to show a sneak peak of it without showing too much

[@joakimhenriksson8772]

Kung!!!

[@gamerdude422]

Where is the distributor reveal??

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

A few weeks from now, I want to perfect the video before that. There’s another really cool 10 minute long video coming this Saturday though :)

[@gamerdude422]

@@ThinkCleverAndSmart oooooo oki, excited for the video coming this Saturday!

[@joakimhenriksson8772]

vart fick du lego käglorna?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Jag köpte bitarna på BrickLink. Det finns instruktioner på min hemsida: www.thinkcleverandsmart.com/instructions
