My favorite thing about this video is how clearly it demonstrates breaking down the end goal into smaller steps, and achieving those individually. It's hard to design a domino dropping machine, but it's a lot easier to design all of the individual bits that go into it.

When the building part is far more fascinating than the destruction part. Amazing!!!

This is just pure genius. It's always so difficult to set up those domino pieces manually, but this Lego machine works like a charm!! Awesome video!!

can’t wait to try to build this for myself

[TiagoCatarino]

Definitely inspired by this! Awesome job man!

This might get lost in your comments and that’s ok but I would like to mention this video means a lot to me, I had a domino setter machine similar to the one you made in this video, and it brought back memories of me and my dad playing with a domino and Marbel game when I was little which meant a lot to me and is always meaningful remembering them moments with him


I love this video with all my heart and I appreciate you making this video and me finding it bringing back great emotions

I love my dad and this will be the video that makes me feel better when I am down


Thank you everyone for reading x

Hope everyone is happy and well !

I am forever amazed at your ability to find new mechanisms to create using Lego.

[lusiariyanti-eefk]

That's so satisfying and impressive

i’ve been wanting something like this to be made for the longest time and dude you did it!!!! and with the controller too!! this is absolutely amazing 👏 I’m wondering, can you make one that is compatible with standard toppling domino size? (H5 Domino Creations are 24x48x7.5mm in dimension)

The sound of lego dominos falling is even more satisfying than the sound of actual dominos falling

[marigo]

This is actually revolutionary. Dominoes take so much time to set up. I want all of the domino youtubers to see this.

This really makes me miss Domino Day. Idk if it is known outside germany, but it was a big TV event where a truly ginormus Domino track was setup and toppled, with really creative techniques, making domino pictures that change as the bricks fall and so on. They always aimed to get a new world record for the biggest domino chain reaction. It was nerve racking, sometimes whole sections wouldn't fall and they had backup tracks that made sure the chainreaction wouldn't stop at a failef section

[sanibunny]

Let the dominoday begin! - Robin Weijers could have used something like that. Amazing!

1M IQ for you bc this is awesome and genius

[으하하-zl]

I am a 13-year-old student who likes Lego. I want to be a wonderful person like you when I grow up.

[edcameron]

Now what you need is a machine to pick them up after they’ve fallen :D

[niccolopiccinino]

Do you know you should get a Nobel Prize for this? Brilliant.

3:17 Nice rack and pinion steering! Its really satisfying to see the gear turn the wheels.
