Taking tilt to the next level [Video]

If you don’t know already, I’m a little obsessed with pinball. I’m also a little obsessed with mechanical LEGO builds, kinetic sculptures, and automaton. So naturally, I was overly excited when I saw that one of my favorite builders, Teun de Wijs, has married a couple of my favorite things together! This legendary pinball game turned LEGO automaton is incredible.

The way Teun uses gearing and switches to make the lights blink and the pot-bellied man tilt the machine makes me jealous at his ingenuity. I do have to say that the hip thrusting is a little intense though…

If you like this build, you’ll love Teun’s other magical LEGO creations. They are a step above anything else I’ve seen! Also, if you like pinball and haven’t checked out my own 100% LEGO machine, Benny’s Spaceship Adventure, you should take a look!

    Thanks for the post, Bre. I’m glad you like it! Dear Lord, that machine of yours… Incredible, what an massively intricate build (and I love the theme. Classic space rules!).

    Hey Teun! Thank you so much for the compliment! I’d love to swap notes sometime and see your thought process/how you do it! Truly brilliant mechanics. Having LEGO sensors and NXT “brains” for my machine almost seems like cheating compared to your techniques! I look forward to seeing what you do next.

    Cheers!
