Simple LEGO ropewalk device


Recommended Posts

I came up with an idea to use my LEGO for the ropewalk device. It's very simple, I build it in half an hour. I just made couple ropes with it, and pretty happy. 

 

Overall look

Four identical gears, I'm going to improve it to rotate faster.

The complete "set" - device, weigth and divider )

This type of pins allows quickly fix the rope, so no need to make a knots.

Again quick fix of weight. I added some metal inside.

And the divider.

Short video how it works (there you can see ropewalk v.1.0.0 without the "weight")

 

And the first results

I hope you'll find it helpful and probably will advice how I can improve it.

Thanks, I've seen such things before but they look complicated, probably they're more adjustable and reliable.

But I'm not going to make hundreds of meters of ropes, so I guess it's completely enough for me. I haven't started my rigging yet, so will let you know later how it go.
