Art masquerading as a toy

Big Loader Construction Set by TOMY, from 1977 is a beautiful work of art that rivals any kinetic or mechanical piece that's out there today. Patreon Account...

My latest video is up. It's about a children's toy that is something we call art today. You've seen machines that move marbles around over and over. This one did it back in 1977.

I just created the belt for my roller coaster. Modeled the belt, printed it out, made a mold, and casted it in rubber. If I had some cars I could show you how well it works, but that's the next part of the project. https://www.instagram.com/p/B43nKpHH4Yx/?igshid=t2563s12fai5

This isn't a toy... it's a work of art. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yoP07HPQ0/?igshid=jrde0kadpcfg

I took my OmniBot 2000 completely apart one more time. I gave everything a thorough washing, and I tested and repaired all the motors. I then took the remote apart, gave it a thorough washing and then tested it again. Did it work finally? Find out in episode 2 of the OmniBot 2000....

Anyone have an Omnibot 2000 that can tell me if theirs has anything connected to the motor adjustment potentiometer? Or is it absent and the place that it connects to is missing and soldered over? #omnibot2000 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3s21UpnV61/?igshid=cwhwv37pay0h
