TCAS Lego Pinsetter - New Sweep Drive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2019
- It's that time of the year again, SUMMER! I have much more time to work on the pinsetter, and it all starts now. I needed to compact the pinsetter up a bit, so I used the space in front, right behind the masking unit, to fit the sweep drive mechanism. It's bigger than before, but it's also much better! It now drives both sweep arms as opposed to only one in the previous design. This makes the sweep much stronger now, and most importantly, more reliable.

Wow, I used to watch your videos in middle school, and now I’m a freshman in college! It’s so cool that you’re still doing this! #nostalgia
We are probably around the same age then! Nice, and thanks for sticking around!
This looks absolutly realistic!!
Ikr
It looks so real
Very cool dude! Now you have additional room for distributor motors or parts!
Yes! Extra room is always super nice!
I GOT HERE AS FAST AS I COULD! Definitely awesome before I watch the whole video!
Hope you liked it even after you watched it!
Of course I did, videos like these are so satisfying to watch!
Thanks!! 😃
Oh wow I was thinking yesterday I should make a new sweep for my Lego lane
Nice, it’s not too late!
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart well thanks for the encouragement I'll look for a new sweep trigger because mine doesn't work anymore
Do your best!
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart thank you
That is awesome! Great job🎳
Thanks man! :D
The motion is so real
Omg I'm so happy. My Lego Lane finally has a new sweep and I have a new lane cover. And I have a new think Clever And Smart 😉 Bowling pin
Man it's been a while since I watched you!
Yeah, I’ve been so busy recently. Haven’t had time to produce much videos
imagine moving houses with this thing.
Wow ! Your sweep operation is way better than the one before and the one made by Simple Simulations. Also I didn’t made Mini Bowling videos on my Mini Bowling alley for a while cause I need to work on something on one of my 2 sweeps which is the main flaw with one of my GS Pinsetters and I’m busy with school and my Bowling Tournaments. Hopefully I’ll repair or replace that sweep soon if I had the resources and a request of a help from Andys Bowl.
Thanks! School always takes so much time, I know that too well haha
Amazing!
Thanks!
Awesome!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
:)
@ThinkCleverAndSmart yo thx dude for the idea for my own LEGO Brunswick GS-X. Also I subbed to u and turned on notifications! Keep it up dude! ;)
Thanks! I’d like to see videos of it when you have it. Remember to make your own designs!
Also I’ve made your LEGO Bowling pin style but the second version from 25 December 2017 because most people use them a lot. Also I liked how you compared your new pins with the old one.
nice!
It doesn't help to beg you know. It doesn't make me more interested. I have watched some of your vids tho. :)
Imagine if you could take the lego pin setter with you? Except you’d likely have to take it apart and transport bits of it at a time.
I happily would! But the reason I don’t is because of space. I actually don’t have anywhere to put it here in my apartment. It’s super small.
I think what you also need is to make a much more decent look of the ball return. After the ball reaches the end, try to make it be able to return the ball rack
Yes, I’ve been thinking of that, but to keep the astetics of the return, as well as put the time on the pinsetter instead, I want to do that on a later date. I don’t see it as a priority right now. :/
IT looks better and faster than The old one! Love it!!!!! Btw can i Ask some questions about The scoremore scoring system somewhere?
Thanks!! Yes, I’m more than happy to answer all your questions! You can do it here, or send me an email if you want. :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart ok, whats your email where i can message you?
It should be on the about page in both this channel and my website. But I can give it here: thinkclever.andsmart@gmail.com
Cool
Thanks!
Nice video bro , can u build the hockey arena Scaniarinken and the football stadium near it on minecraft :))
I should have Scaniarinken already somewhere... It's only the outer shell tho. Contact me by email and I could probably find it for you. :)
Do a video on how to build the new sweep and pin setter and everything else plez
Yesss I know, 2 1/2 I’m still here watching your videos am I right?
I don't want to be rude but it's quite annoying how you spaced out your comment, and now to answer your question: I have had a lot of people ask me to make tutorials and such for the pinsetter, but the truth is I don't want to do it. A lot of people have copied my work and it's just not fun anymore. I put a lot of time and effort into what I do, and I don't want people to steal it. Let alone give it away in the form of a tutorial. Instead I will make payed instructions in high quality for the ones who are really interested when the pinsetter is all finished and working. thanks.
@ThinkCleverAndSmart Yes sorry about spacing just thought you were interested which not lmao and yes I think you are right about the paying for instructions which I think since you put so much effort into all of this work for like 7 years I think nobody should copy you which I also believe that is rude and also 2 1/2 years ago I got inspired in LEGO bowling so I used to love your videos since today and I will always be inspired by you ;D! Good luck on improving, I hope you will come with better ways on your machine. Also do a full game video I bet people on your channel such as me would like to watch that, anyways thank you for your time ;) I also fixed the comment of spacing
Yes exactly, however it’s important for people to know that it’s ok (and even recommended) to get inspired from what I do. Copy is rude, but inspired is nice! Competition is what drives us. :)
Hope you will follow along! I do have a full game video already, but it’s quite old now. The thing is that when I released it, most of the people watching thought I had finished the entire pinsetter, even if I hadn’t. I’ll think about a way to make such a video without people getting confused. :)
I've had this question ever since I watched you how does the machine know when the ball has passed The Sweep
There’s a color sensor in the ball return that detects the ball. :)
Do your motors get warm after a while because I posted a video yesterday and during the recording the motor for the transport band was a little warm. Do your motors do that?
Yeah a little bit. Not hot, just a bit warm. That’s normal
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart ok I got worried about mine
i see you are using Brunswick themed pinsetter. but why the AMF 82-70/82-90xl table pin spotting system? is the machine a hybred of AMF and Brunswick?
Yes exactly, it’s like a hybrid, and some of my own stuff. That’s why I call it the TCAS pinsetter. :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart AH that makes sense cause the table chassis and ball return are that of Brunswick. the Sweep is your own design. but the actual spotting mechanism is AMF. the distributor is AMF. the pinwheel is Brunswick A-2. but the Carpet is AMF. i love design so far you have come a long way in 6 years don't give up on it. I've been researching pinsetters about as long as you've been making them out of Lego systems.
Yes exactly, except that I don’t use a pinwheel anymore. :)
Where can I get the lane surface
Wow when is coming new video
And connect to the ball rack
Seems to work pretty fast and efficiently. I'm curious to know if we could somehow do a collaboration in August? It would be a great mix of design and functionality - if we have the right parts... :P
Thanks! That could be fun, what kind of collaboration could that be?
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart I was thinking, thinking you could build the mechanism, give me the instructions, and I would build a bowling alley around that mechanism.
I’m not completely sure what you mean here. What kind of mechanism? A sweep? Or more?
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart Like the pinsetter.
That might be an impossible collab then haha. How would I be able to do so if I can’t even finish mine?
Okay, this might sound weird but, i know that you’re roughly 300 subscribers away from 3,000 subscribers special, but I wonder if you’re going to work on how your bowling alley was made, cuz I’ve always wondered for 2 weeks on how your alley was made, if you can’t work on it, it’s fine, just honesty.
I would like to do a “my pinsetters since start” video again, if that is what you meant. :)
yeah, sure.
What type of lane is that? I want to buy one for my bowling alley I’m making.
It’s made out of wood with a layer of printed paper on top, and then a layer of plexiglass on top of that. You can see more in my video called “TCAS Pinsetter Anvilane update”. :)
How did you make that
What kind of motor do you use for your sweep and is it available on bricklink?
I used a Mindstorms NXT motor, but an EV3 motor would work too. BrickLink has almost everything Lego has ever sold! :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart thanks again I'll look it up on bricklink I need to get something to run my sweeper so I can get it working
Hi. How big is your bowling lane? (length and wide)
My lane is 12cm wide and I believe 1.4m long. This is not including gutters. :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart Cool Thanks! I'm actually making two lanes but out of wood and motors and arduinos. As I scaled down a real lane to 1:17 it came out as 12cm wide and about 2m long which is when I thought to ask you because 2m is too long for me :P Thanks again and nice video btw :)
Yes exactly. That’s why my lane is shorter too. :)
What program that you using to make score bowling system
I'm not using a program. I made it myself.
what do you use made those 3d instructions
Lego Digital Designer
And put the ball retern underneath the capping like a real bowling alley, not next to it
Since the ball lift over at the pinsetter can't be moved closer to the lane, and I want the track to be straight, it will have to be on the side like this sadly.
Ok
I got a Idea. Why don’t you put a Camera on the foul line cover to score pins
Because that would be too far away for the camera to see the pins properly for scoring.
Ok. Keep up the good work
Now it’s like the gsx pinsetter
What if you 3d printed a GSX sweeper
I have previously 3D printed one just like that! There is a video on it here on my channel. :)
Why would you need a new one?
The old one became sluggish over time and made the sweep only sweep all the way on the left side
Where did you get the lane
I bought the plexiglass precut to my dimensions from a swedish glass company. :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart wow I made mine out of Lego
What song is this?
It’s in the description. :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart have you seen my videos
Umm not to be rude or alarm you in any way but your profile turned into the little blue person figure when you don't put your own in. Just letting you know. (The blue person.)
I’ve seen that happen to other youtubers as well. It should be back :)
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart yes it's fixed
How do you order your legos
Bricklink
@@ThinkCleverAndSmart thanks I have been working on my Lego lane and I need a few parts
Tell me
