Dude this thing is incredible!! I love the way each of the mechanisms works and how unique they are. The ball dispenser into the plunger having the ramp lift up is genius and I really liked all the play features and design features like using the black pins on the edges to bounce the ball. Overall fantastic job and can’t wait to see future videos!!
@@TurtleLegoProductions That was actually a last minute decision. I was about to delete the failure folder full of, well, failures. But those failures are things that I needed to work around to make this thing work and thought viewers might get a kick out of.
Flawless build, though I may be biased towards the machine since it heavily utilizes my favorite color. The mechanism is fantastic, and the narration/ video quality seals the deal. One more thing I appreciate though it might not have been intentional is the clean design and coloring of the mechanism. Traditionally, random colors are used for the mechanism, with the idea being the customer doesn't see them. I'm not really sure where this idea came from (since we as the viewers do see them.) I really appreciate keeping the mechanism coloring clean and simple, as it really contributed towards an understanding of the mechanism. Overall amazing work.
I sure do love those warm colors, orange being my all time favorite! Speaking of colors, making each part of the mechanism more/less the same color really helps the viewer follow along easier. In my second bridge machine video, I gave each part of the mech it’s own designated color, received positive feedback from that, and you just helped confirm that it’s a good thing to do. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Three EV3s in one machine, haven't seen that yet xD But seriously, awesome work! Many unique and well executed mechanisms, combined in a massive machine.
For a machine of that size, 3 EV3s are needed. It’s impossible for 2 to reach over the whole thing even with the XL cables. I only had 2, so I needed to borrow one from my brother’s school to complete this monstrosity. They want it back by next month and it is going to kill me to dismantle it. This is one of those machines that you just don’t ever wanna take apart lol. Thanks for the kind words! Oh, and also, welcome back!
@@LegoTechnicsRule True, it's a shame there are no longer cables. I wonder if you can cut two XL cables and connect them together, to make a XXL cable. I know how painful it is to say goodbye to a machine like that, especially a fun arcade machine. But I always liked the fact, that by doing that, I had all these bricks to build a new machine.
@@LCMMaster you can make your own long cables out of an old RJ12 phone cord. Just cut the tabs off and you’re good to go. Don’t make them too long or voltage will drop.
@@LegoTechnicsRule y’know, if you just need constant speed you could use an amalgamation of those MINDSTORMS to power functions adapters and power function extension cables to reach as far as you want.
This is so cool!! I really like the pop bumpers! Did you experiment with different side boards before setting on the black pins? I’m definitely subscribing, thanks for the cool video!
Thanks! I actually accidentally discovered that the pins were bouncy. The hoop where the candy ramp leads to, I had it removed with the pin still in the board while I was testing death mode. While testing, the ball hit the pin and rebounded strongly. This was a last minute addition, but it definitely was worth it. I suppose I am putting the ‘pin’ back into pinball.
The mechanisms are something different! WOW

I appreciate the kind words! The ball ramp lift was definitely one of the main attractions of this machine.
This video is worth million views
Bigger pinball machine = bigger battery!
Indeed! 3 EV3 bricks would cost a lot of money to run on disposable batteries, especially for the amount of hours that I tested the machine.
There are no words to say how great this is.
Thanks! I try my very very best to create the most top-tier LEGO machines.
Nice thinking adding all of those functions!
Also, I love the fact you pointed out its flaws at the end. We all know every machine has so many issues we don't talk about.

@@LegoTechnicsRule I can tell you if I did that with my latest arcade game, most of the video would be failures XD
YES THE TIME HAS COME I LOVE IT!!

Omg that ball lifter is soooo cool! You are soo smart!
Thanks for the kind words! The idea came to me when I saw some people working up on a scissor lift.

this has great potential, it just needs decoration
I did my best with the color scheme, but it could definitely use some more!
Such an awesome build! You must have spent so much time building it and putting this video together.
👍👍👍👍😀

Incredible machine. Absolutely love it. What are the dimensions in studs?
Thanks for the kind words! It’s a setup of 2x4 32x32 baseplates, making it 64x128 studs!
@@LegoTechnicsRule OK nice thanks. Love your channel btw.

First!!
When not having a life is a good thing
It took me so long because I was juggling work, college, and this project!
