This is very impressive. Eye catching effects. Excellent result!

ElektroFreak · 01-23-2010, 02:49 AM

Hey.. that's kinda cool!

Flaminpyro · 01-23-2010, 02:57 AM

I see you have graduated from tooth pick and hot melt to lego's

You never cease to amazie +1 for you my friend ! I realy liked the tower of flashing laser light made from wire and solder and VCR parts

Pyro...

icecruncher · 01-23-2010, 03:12 AM

VERY cool

I was thinking about doing something like that with a smaller version, similar to the spriographs people have done.

BTW what is the song?

Don't Laze Me Bro · 01-23-2010, 04:08 AM

That is SWEET man I would pay good money for something like that!!! +1 for such a Bad AZZ build man!!!!

Don't Laze Me Bro · 01-23-2010, 04:38 AM

Amazing!! must have tutorial

roosl · 01-23-2010, 05:08 AM

The title says it all!

(Dang, I never thought I'd use this damn smilie.)

EzPk0970 · 01-23-2010, 05:18 AM

Haha awesome build ! I was JUST in the making of this same project ! turned out great though ! nice work +1 ! I have a quick question for you . What lego set did you purchase to get the motors ? Or did you just have them as spare parts from multiple sets ?

Hemlock_Mike · 01-23-2010, 05:21 AM

Amazing mechanical drive system! You have more $ in the linkages than in the DG's.

Already rated that video.

It can't get more awesome than that.

If you're ever in Buenos Aires, you're coming here to have a good bowl o'cereal.

FireMyLaser · 01-23-2010, 12:14 PM

I don't think a tutorial is necessary, the video explain pretty good how it works. If someone wants me to them build one.. then sure! I can probably make it allot smaller and sexier with some better material than lego.

The parts are from a bunch of random sets from the 90's and early 2000. I only had one motor so I made a second from from a home video camera zoom. The speeds are adjustor's and can change direction.
