We Built The World's Longest GraviTrax Marble Run

[@MaskedMarble]

I hope you enjoy this video, and have as much fun watching it as we had making it! This was not only a marble run, it was a GraviTrax building event with over 40 people!

[@dinhtuan752]

Ok

[@Gravirobin]

OK that is really really cool.

[@ethanferret7131]

Heheh, I’ve got a lot of parts already, however not even CLOSE to the amount you have, would love to see another one of these when the power expansion comes out!

[@eddog6666]

You didn’t have enough height to make it that far

[@gnuhaus]

So fun to be involved in this-thx for inviting us!

[@MaskedMarble]

You're welcome. Thanks for coming and bringing the crew!

[@marblewizard4303]

Congrats on the record! Looked like a blast putting this together. Keep up the awesome work.

[@MaskedMarble]

Thanks 👍 It was a blast! 💥

[@BRIANZAGravitrax]

The best thing is the smile 😁 of the people, this is the record !!! Good boy 🤗🤗

[@MaskedMarble]

Yes, the smiles were the best!

[@marbletrick]

longest gravitrax marble run!!! So amazing!!!😍😍😍👍👍

[@MagicMarble]

Crazy 🤩🤩🤩 Gratulation 👍👍👌👌 Nice Track 👍👍👌👌

[@MaskedMarble]

Thank you!

[@MagicMarble]

@@MaskedMarble Your welcome 👍👍👌👌

[@randomgamer4357]

This is really impressive I do feel like it could have gone all the way if there wasn’t a cannon on the thin rails

[@TheBananermanThefirst]

Yes if they were normal rails it would be fine but it wasn’t

[@leo_lion_gaming]

You started this a day before my birthday lol!!

[@MaskedMarble]

Happy belated birthday! 🎂🎈🥳

[@TheSeniorTuberCommunity]

I must admit, I never heard of this, but it was certainly fun to watch!

[@MaskedMarble]

Thanks for watching!

[@uwemuller3915]

Sehr gute Idee sehr gut gemacht super weiter so genial

[@erikpavlusik6214]

It is very nice that this event connected so many people to do some offline activity on street :)

[@MaskedMarble]

Yes, true. It was very nice. For me it was a lot of organizing work up front, and a lot of directing on the day of the event, so I didn't fully appreciate it until watching the video footage afterward.

[@marblefunonthetrack]

What a cool record and what a lot of work. 😬But super cool to see how you built it and also broke the record.👍👍

[@BukuiZhao]

I’m pretty sure the reason why the marble derailed just after 160 meters is probably because you used a thin fast rail just after a magnetic cannon. I’ve found that when I use the thin rails at points where the marble is very fast, the marble has a very high chance that it could just fly off the rail as the thin rail provides very little stability. The marble could probably have made it to the end if that wasn’t the case. Good job!

[@MaskedMarble]

You are absolutely correct. We originally did not have the cannon there, and were using scoops which are gentler, but there were some headwinds that picked up and the marble was rolling to a stop in certain areas of the track. After so many failed attempts, and it was getting hot, I was feeling rushed and not thinking straight when I told them to add some magnetic cannons in that location. I learned that day that magnetic cannons are not tame. The marble shoots out of the cannon like a wild horse 🐎 out of a chute. I filmed magnetic cannons afterward in slow motion, and saw that at first the marble careens all over the track until it settles down a bit. So now I no longer use a thin rail right after a magnetic cannon. The marble needs something to "corral" it until it loses some of its wild energy.

[@BukuiZhao]

@@MaskedMarble Yeah I understand when building outdoors there are lots of unpredictable factors that could affect operation like wind etc.

[@domitrax2]

Amazing video! congrats on the record

[@MaskedMarble]

Thanks!

[@oblongscone]

Great video. Congratulations to you all.

[@coogelbahn]

Did all the neighbours help? 😅 Great Idea - and a lot of baseplates...

[@MaskedMarble]

We live in a large community, so this was only a handful of my neighbors. It was mostly families whose kids I had taught in GraviTrax Kids Club. Yes, I had to use almost all my baseplates. Afterward I had to clean each one… 😰 still working on that. 😆

[@coogelbahn]

@@MaskedMarble Those who have no work, make some for themselves ;-)

[@FreelanceScientist]

FLJ says"you can make even better even longer ones now👍👍👍👍!"

[@TheGravineer]

Nice track. I saw How the base boards curve on the side walk. What if you made a line of base boards so long they formed a circle?

[@MaskedMarble]

That would be an interesting calculation...to see how many baseboards that would take.

[@TheGravineer]

And how much space.

[@GravitraxMania]

Wow🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Such a great Record!🤩🤩👍👏

[@MaskedMarble]

Thanks! This one was really fun.

[@FrontierTheory]

Imagine one little kid just ruining it all in 5 minutes 😂

[@MaskedMarble]

That's what happened when we tore it down...a kid decided to ride his bike over the track. 😆

[@thomasleyhr6651]

Looked at my wall after watching. Pictures and deko startet moving upwards 🤣🤣🤣

[@MaskedMarble]

That's funny...Kinda like when the credits of a movie stop scrolling...

Dank Music

[@kugelontrack-GraviTrax]

Unfortunately, as a German, I have to say that I am extremely jealous of all the children you see in the video, simply because they are Americans. 😅 The USA is by far the greatest country in the world. The USA is breaking all records every day. I wish I were American too. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ethanferret7131]

Part list? >:D

[@MaskedMarble]

I know your question is probably joking, but yes there was a parts list. See column T of this spreadsheet. It was only a guideline for building, and we made changes on the fly. And the parts list doesn't include the scoops, cannons, and hammers, because we were using them as needed when the marble started to slow down. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nO96A2afbD_pvFgVtKATgweFMEmJTgI-ce0BO3P3Wlc/edit?usp=sharing

[@MaskedMarble]

Check out the updated description for some more behind-the-scenes stuff. I've linked to 3 documents that included some of the length/section planning, the 4 track layouts we used, and the overall build strategy.

[@ethanferret7131]

@@MaskedMarble Lol no way. I don’t have the baseplates to build this or better yet outclass you;as I only have 30, but if the chance comes around, I will attempt to beat said record. Also, does it have to be in a straight line, or is it allowed to make it turn for my convenience depending on location?

[@MaskedMarble]

@@ethanferret7131 No need to be straight. Almost nothing in this world is perfectly straight anyway. From geometry, we understand that distance and space can be curved. So if the goal is to know the distance of a marble track that is built along a curve, we easily can calculate the distance. Just like the distance traversed by a planet around the sun is not straight.Even perimeters are measurements of distance.

Rip those pieces lol

Wow

Next time but multiple tracks in

[@TheRollingBall]

Really fun direction you are taking lately with your Gravi-Entertainment! Congrats for your energy 🙌 Would love to do something like this, looks like so much fun you had 💚 But things like this can only be built on US sidewalks, I'm afraid ^^ No chance we can ever take this up on our French medieval cobblestones 😂

[@MaskedMarble]

Yes, I totally understand. Even most US sidewalks are not this level; I had to pick the location carefully, and it just happened to be across the street from my house. 😁 🏠

[@TheRollingBall]

@@MaskedMarble Lucky you 🤗 Also for the great community you're living in! Keep up the cool ideas and fun with them 💚
