D.R.O.P. - A Lego GBC Module

Today I've shared the video for my Push Arm module called D.R.O.P.  This dark red olive pusher is based off the Push Arm GBC module originally designed by Kevin Mitcham (Instructions Here).  I've made a few changes such as how the arm is connected to the 40 tooth drive gear, and also I've streamlined the pusher head by smoothing out both the inside and outside of each end.  The input bin isn't a standard shape, but I've created a squared off section that can be snapped on top (you'll see it in the video).

An interesting find after it was built was that I could fit a battery box inside the module underneath the ramp concealing the power source.

I've also been able to rig it up to my shared power system, which is installed on my updated Inclination Pumping Station and Roadwork Redux modules.  I've had 6 modules running off 1 XL Motor so far, and plan to try running even more in the future.

Below you'll find a few images, and the video.  I've also shortened the GPB intro, let me know what you think.

  1. It would be very nice if you had building instructions like some of your other models

  2. Creating the instructions takes quite a bit of time and effort, so I can't make them for every module. Having said that, I will be making more instructions in the future so be sure to check back here often!
