Lego: Table Flipping Ojisan bot (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Kyle Li

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ちゃぶ台返し

Inspired by the Table Flipping Ojisan arcade game. Ojisan stands for middle aged man in Japanese, and the table flipping is an act of rage and a social phenomenon in Japan usually associated with frustrated parents, especially the father figure. However, it is extremely funny to view this act from a 3rd person point of view.

I wasn’t able to find proper gears to create enough flipping force, so I modded a Lego 24-Tooth crown gear by removing half of the teeth on it. That way it sets the crown gear free when it run into the area without teeth, and with proper spring mechanism, the flipping  can be very strong.
