GBC Miniloop Kinetic Scultpure

GBC or Great Ball Contraptions are LEGO modular machines that move balls from one place to another. They are popular at LEGO conventions around the world and often feature complex LEGO Technic structures, moving LEGO soccer balls and basket-balls in a large loop composed of many modules. This build, a small mini-loop with a simple mechanism, captures the GBC spirit while being manageable, practical, and suitable for all. Video demonstration below.

This model includes two moving lift-arms and a ball holder. The entire model is operated by a small hand crank. I built this model in Stud.io to find the total number of Lego elements (170) used.

I encourage all who are unfamiliar with LEGO GBC to do a quick YouTube search :)
