ROBOTIME 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Marble Run Link Pack LG01 - Marble Spaceport LGC01 + Marble Night City LGA01 Connector Kit

The media could not be loaded. This is another great product from ROKR, but requires some attention and experimenting to make it work properly, just like the LGA01 and LGC01 kits themselves (I personally think this adds to the overall enjoyment). Allow me share some things I learned.This system is very unforgiving of LGA01 or LGC01 crank resistance as the motor has limited power. Correct any obvious crank resistance reasons before even attaching LG01. Once corrected, attach the LG01 motor assembly and expect the cranks to rotate at only about 2.5 seconds per revolution. This is much slower than with the motor directly attached to LGC01.I started testing without adding the joining ramps, and only with the LGC01 belt attached. The slow crank rotation speed can greatly affect the ability of LGC01 to properly sequence the balls through the lift buckets. I had to watch where they did not reliably roll out to the next bucket and slightly smooth the edge of the openings until they did at this lower speed.Next, connect the LGA01 belt and check if the cranks still rotate about every 2.5 seconds. Now add some balls to each side and correct any ball hang up problems.It also helps a lot to just run the system for several hours without any balls to break in the gears. Note however the motor shuts itself off after 10 minutes, so you need to keep restarting the system (while cooking dinner or watching TV for example).Once the two sides are operating reliably on their own, add the joining ramps and have fun!

The media could not be loaded. Having made the two marble runs was great but adding them together with this box makes the whole thing come alive!

The media could not be loaded. A little adjusting and it works perfectly!

The motor is not strong enough to run both correctly , marbles get hung up on the ladder climb on the marble run space port . Doesn't run fast enough
