Could this be the world’s tallest Rokenbok construction? These guys have been building towers for a couple of years now.  Their latest creation is around 20 feet tall, has four working elevators, and a cool roof made of curved beams.

This video shows a simple monorail layout–basically starts high and goes downhill.  But it goes all the way out the door–it’s kind of long.  We liked the music.

We like this build a lot.  It’s a “horizontal conveyor”, like an elevator but instead of going up and down, it goes from side to side.  We think it’s made out of a tower crane, but mounted horizontally instead of vertically.  Very cool idea.  But what’s with the sound track?  How about some music next time instead of listening to the wife in the background

And there’s a brief visit from the cat.

This guy’s constructed what he calls a “ramp alternative”.   It’s an interesting idea.  Then he tries to drive several vehicles up and down the ramps.  It sort of works, but the ramps are really too step, as you can see when the vehicles skid headfirst down the ramps.  The Skiptrack can’t seem to make it up the ramp, but the creator has promised a “part two” to show what happens.

Looks like Jeremy has started a new blog about Rokenbok. Not much there yet, but let’s all encourage him to write some cool posts.
