Love the music choice while you were building the track! That’s that electro swing!
ОтветитьInteresting. We are far from the good ol’ Mouse Trap...
ОтветитьWatch out Heroscape Tom needs room for his marple game.
ОтветитьCan you set this up in a way that the marbles keep looping?
ОтветитьOur local ToysRUS had everything for sale (-25%) so picked up a copy today :) Yes ToysRUS still exists here. There was a set there with extra platforms so maybe that would be a nice pickup?
ОтветитьI remember having something like this as a kid. Definitely a must buy.
But it would be cool if they can actually wrap a game around this
That would have been awesome.
gravity is a hoax. it's buoyancy and density!
ОтветитьTom, do you subscribe to Jelle's Marble Runs? It's a cool channel for marble races. He did a 240 metre Gravitrax run a few months ago. Lord knows what it would cost to build something like that though.
ОтветитьMy more difficult challenges for those with the starter set:
1) can you make a marble run for 15 seconds from start to finish?
2) can you get a marble to reach all 4 corners of a 2x2 base map?
3) making a 1x4 base map, can you get a marble to start on one end, roll to another end, then finish back adjacent to the starting launch pad?
Edit: I wish there was a boardgamegeek entry for Gravitrax where I can upload challenges to share.
I'm amused that you keep saying things like 'as the game goes on' and 'this will change each turn' out of habit.
ОтветитьTom,
Just a heads up on the nomenclature of structures;
Girders = beams which span between columns, pillars or stanchions which are the vertical elements
This looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play around with.
ОтветитьI´m really happy you did a review of GraviTrax! We looooove it, it fascinates all of my 5 kids from 7-16. Which is the best thing that can happen to a Mom :) They can do so many cool things and try out different tracks all the time. We do have the starter set and the Starter Sert XXL - which I would recommend to anyone.
ОтветитьIs this going to be placed on Board Game Geek?
ОтветитьI brought this home for my grand kids and they loved it! We made a couple of runs from the book but they wanted to design their own. They loved working on problems of speed and height as they figured this out. Be sure to try the hammer, it’s another thing that will give a push the marble along. This is a great STEM toy.
ОтветитьI remember playing with those plastic marble tracks as a kid, they were the coolest toy ever. I wouldnt buy this personally but it's still really cool, kind of a more aesthetically pleasing and compact version of that toy from childhood.
ОтветитьMy autistic 4 year old son is obsessed with Gravitrax. He watches this video every day and spends all day, every day building Gravitrax. He's always wanted me to build Track I "Like Tom Vasel" and I couldn't do it! However, he managed it all by himself just using the final picture, I couldn't believe my eyes! He now mimics this video and phrases from it, I think he's your biggest fan Tom!
ОтветитьNice setup. Modular marble runs are always way cool. Unlimited marble tracks to build out there! Lots of fun.... : ) Ribbit.
Ответитьyo gravitrax are the best
ОтветитьDoes it only work with the marbles it comes with and how many do you get. Sorry if you asked this in your video
ОтветитьYou know you've stumbled upon something good when even the BOX is sturdy....
ОтветитьThis is so cool. I also made a really cool trick shot video using marble run if you would like to check it out.
ОтветитьYou could use these parts for a pinball machine.
ОтветитьVery helpful 👍
ОтветитьCool layout :)
ОтветитьWow nice Video 👍😁👍
ОтветитьGraviTrax is very cool👍👍
ОтветитьI wonder if DT will come back and review Gravitrax again now that they have a solitaire game version?
Small boxes around $30 usd with 30 challenges that get progressively harder. There are 3 versions with different pieces and challenges each. They are also completely compatible with other sets.
I actually came here thinking this was a review for those before realizing how old the video was.
