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.
Monorail Video
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.
Cool Horizontal Conveyor
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.
The “Ramp Alternative”?
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.
Three-Part Action Video
This three-part video shows an RC elevator, a loader, and a sweeper in action. Three quarries, a piston plant, and an action sorter conveyor are included in the build.
The video work is not the best–it could have used some editing to get rid of the shaky, blurry transitions between views. And some music would have been great. But it does show off some of the fun play options available with Rokenbok.
NTR Reviews Rokenbok
Here’s a nice review of Rokenbok. The video starts out with a very cool time-lapse photography of a set being built. Then the reviewer talks about the various features of Rokenbok. The only thing we didn’t like was the ending–kind of an attempt at comedy, but it didn’t work. They should just edit that out.
David And Ben’s Build In Ben’s Basement
David and Ben show off their massive build in Ben’s basement. I like the music on this video. This build has elements from a lot of sets - chutes, elevator, Roklift, monorail, conveyors, and more. Vehicles in the video include a dozer, skiptrack, and forklift.
Tournament Build
These guys have a pretty good set up for tournament play. That’s where you try to knock the other vehicle off the platform. Good music, fun video. But we have one word of advice: tripod!
Rokenbok Build Timelapse Video
Here’s an interesting “timelapse” video showing someone’s Rokenbok build over the course of several months. We think this is a great way to show the development of a build. It looks like the tricky part is keeping the camera location and the lighting consistent from frame to frame. Let’s hope to see some more of these.
Benjamin Shows His Sizable Rokenbok Set
In his video entitled Rokenbok 2, Benjamin shows off his rather extensive Rokenbok collection, including 4 conveyors, a monorail, chutes from Tower of Rok Mania, and the water tower from Construction World. Rachel and Benjamin drive a loader, transgripper, and dozer through this great layout. Check it out!
And oh, by the way, what is “tey”?
