I'm Katsumata, one of the creators of the last module, "SWEET LAND" at 15:28. This one is based on the famous Japanese candy game, and there is an actual arcade game of the same name. It was unfinished in day 1 and completed just an hour before the end of the event, so it was only on display for a short time. However many people enjoyed it.
it looks similar to "coin pusher" arcade games here overseas, where a machine is filled a bunch a coins and pushers. you roll your coin into the machine and hope it results in more coins being pushed off the table
Akiyuki's designs, as always, are complex and precise. Hiro's are brutalist and factory-like. Rin's are playful, toylike, easy to understand, and incredibly flashy. Katsumata reminds me of a mad scientist, with elements and balls going anywhere but the obvious as long as it gets them to their goal.
The aesthetics and movement gimmicks are so clear, well-expressed, unique and of highest quality, but I am also impressed by hardly any loose balls on the tablecloth compared to other GBC exhibits. I think that is also a mark of masterful engineering.
Thank you so much for showing us this! Everyone is so creative, especially that Infinite Domino machine! Thank you to all the creators and definitely to you, Akiyuki!❤❤
Honestly this video is a magnificent mental palette cleanser. Just marvel in awe at mechanical magnificence, and you're in a good mood and ready for whatever's next in your day.
Hi. I’m Rin.I made it. I made a video about “Acceleration” th-cam.com/video/ephk2e85SuU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UoeAFEV148vR8kZ9 And this is an explanation video about mechanism of “Acceleration” I hope this helps your understanding. th-cam.com/video/arhrUCvhE28/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K_4Z5gAcorX61xO5
It's kinda funny how western GBCs rehash the same ideas over and over to the point you can have a dozen of the same design in a single loop but Japanese GBC builders have far more creativity and a drive to make something new. I wonder just how much of an impact the small size of the Japanese GBC community has, I assume every creator here is in close contact bouncing ideas off each other while also appreciating that every individual has an opportunity to shine, while in the western ones it seems like there are so many people and that they feel like they'll blend in and as a self fulfilling prophecy don't strive to do anything special and blend in. A single feature that is that there are so many cams in Japanese designs. Western designs seem to always want to power everything, while Japanese designs will have mechanisms react. Things like at 5:56 the balls are dropped because of the interaction of the spinning arm and the gate, while others seem to ignore that kind of interaction. With cams it also provides intermittent and complex motion which is far more complicated from a directly powered mechanism, 8:25 is a perfect example of that. They utilise this tool in such an interesting way, I'm bored of western GBCs because they seem to have reached the end of what they can do without cams. The second feature would be a fantastic understanding of linkages, you can get programs to experiment with linkages to find the exact motion you want (they're often using axels in place of some beams to get the *exact* length they want for more options) - combine it with a cam and you can do anything. I loved this so much, the engineering and the creativity are on point. It's exciting that your community is constantly pushing the bounds and showing off fresh ideas. I may have spent most of the video slack jawed in amazement, figuring out what was needed, and those cam gearboxes controlling everything in many of the contraptions are pretty beautiful to watch to see rotation turn into essentially programmed output. I appreciate being able to see this so much, thank you.
Hi, I was one of the participants at this JBF GBC collaboration The "Acceleration" module starts with a ball pump, and the balls exit to a 2-wall of trans-clear panels (1x5x6) forming a V-shape, when viewed from the top. The balls roll down slowly down the V-shape, and accelerate after exiting the V-wall. Hope this helps.

i would say we need a east VS west GBC meet up where the best western and the best eastern builders set up two circuits with a poll on what module is the best where the western side creators can only vote on the asian modules and vice versa and also a competition wich of the two set ups transports more balls during this time. also a price fro the best looking module(s) with the western folks rating the eastern ones and vice versa, a price for the best engineering with the same voting system in place and for the most reliable module in each of the contraptions.
13:09 - Looks like someone saw this video (th-cam.com/video/dehXioMIKg0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=42AOPy-9IuLgbxxO) and said “Hey, I’m gonna make that out of LEGO and have it move balls around!” And the result is BEYOND cool!
So many unique designs that I've never seen before! Thanks for sharing and also properly crediting each module's creator :)

Good job! It's so chaotic and I love it.
Your work is amazing.

I just subscribed to your channel. I hope to see a longer video about the module.
Just gorgeous, effort well spent

I'm glad I stayed subscribed to this channel. That domino contraption is also very clever!
It’s incredible how Japanese GBC is so drastically different from those in America. It’s a beautiful dance of innovation and precision.
Japanese GBC is next level stuff!
Great job everyone involved!

Akiyuki's stuff is technical perfection, but damn, Katsumata does some crazy stuff too.
9:55 Meanwhile SR: I haven't lost my marbles, I merely liberated them from the endless cycle!
Wave Generator was just pure brilliance.
Beautiful Feat of an Engineering Masterpiece!
absolutely magical
These folks are serious about their bricks and I am here for it.
Honestly this video is a magnificent mental palette cleanser. Just marvel in awe at mechanical magnificence, and you're in a good mood and ready for whatever's next in your day.
So much creativity by everyone, but I have always loved 5 tilted rings, it's just so harmonious.
So many highlights, but "Acceleration" by Rin was breathtaking.
Disappointed at the cameraman that they didn’t show the top of it.
Hi.
I’m Rin.I made it.
I made a video about “Acceleration”
th-cam.com/video/ephk2e85SuU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UoeAFEV148vR8kZ9
And this is an explanation video about mechanism of “Acceleration”
I hope this helps your understanding.

楽しい……ボールがレゴで作られた機構でいろいろな動きで運ばれて行くのが本当に楽しい……
長時間見ていたいです
8:55 pure magic
I thought they must be going through water at first!
So many creative builders and ingenious designs! Wow!
Ill wait for a 4K version from someone. :D
This is too awesome!
Excellent work as always
私は日本人です。とてもすごいすごいですね
Bucket Wheel Tower & Marble Run is back!
Akiyuki the goat ❤
It’s really impressive how many complex motion patterns can be generated in a purely mechanical way.
pure artistry
Level of GBC is insane !
日本語の勉強を始まった前もうこちらのチャネルに登録して、後悔したことが1回もありません。
havent seen one of these in forever!
I hope I can join in next year.
14:14 Hmm, white, blue, yellow, green, red and black...
Yellow can be a brown analogue cos my brain is seeing Toa colours :3
I love that GBC video my master builder Akiyuki!
basket shooter is amazing
You guys are so cool. Loved it.
Jaw droppingly cool!
So much mechanical genius 😍
Incredible ! Congrats !!!!!
スイートランド完全再現で一番驚きました

sehr beeindruckend :-)
Does Rin have a youtube channel? Some amazing modules
He does! www.youtube.com/@rin_brick
Could somebody explain to me how Rin's "Acceleration" piece works?! Please :)

F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c 👍👍
Oh my god you posted again
The balls are great indeed
Some nice designs, but the parabolic funnel was painful to look at and listen to. Surely, there must be a better solution?
6:06 I just watched the video making this thing
また今年も行けなかった…来年こそは
Could you link to other creators' channels whose builds were featured in this video?
OMG sweet land i love that game
i would say we need a east VS west GBC meet up where the best western and the best eastern builders set up two circuits with a poll on what module is the best where the western side creators can only vote on the asian modules and vice versa and also a competition wich of the two set ups transports more balls during this time. also a price fro the best looking module(s) with the western folks rating the eastern ones and vice versa, a price for the best engineering with the same voting system in place and for the most reliable module in each of the contraptions.
みなさんすげぇ
Hi, can someone help me finding Hiro´s channel, because I don’t find it… Does he have a channel, or a website anyways ?
Akiyuki still the 1 >>
13:09 - Looks like someone saw this video (th-cam.com/video/dehXioMIKg0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=42AOPy-9IuLgbxxO) and said “Hey, I’m gonna make that out of LEGO and have it move balls around!” And the result is BEYOND cool!
how does acceleration work?!?!? :O O_O
Arigatou gozaimasu!
1番美しい
