The ring contains 64 dominos. A ramp runs along the inside of the ring, opposite the falling dominos, to lift them back up. A Mindstorms EV3 is used to monitor and control the speed of the ramp so that it matches the falling dominos.

You know, this would be an amazing loading screen for a Lego game.

Gotta love the engineering behind using the sensor to speed up or slow down when necessary, essentially eliminating randomness. And the smart move to close it by going really fast, so the dominos end up upward.
-
This is impressive. Your speed control allows this contraption to work on different planets with different gravity values. You know, in case you get stuck on the moon with a bunch of Legos and nothing else to do.

Everyone be talking about engineering and how cool this is (which I absolutely agree with) while I’m just here in my early morning state and enjoying how relaxing this is. No annoying clickbait, no screaming/hyping up the viewer, just a guy building something cool with legos. This is what YouTube should be.

This one is just pure masterpiece
-
This must be the new World Record! The difficulty of solving the synchronization problem is seriously underrated. Such an elegant final design. Bravo!
-
The struggle towards getting up after being knocked down again and again is enough to fill a machine’s heart. One must imagine the legos happy.
-
This is THE most satisfying build I have ever seen. It is hypnotizing, complex and also simple at the same time. Well done! It should be on display some where. Contemporary art.
-
This is genuinely the most satisfying thing that exists that's not a 3D render animation.
-
I love how theres no annoying music and the commentary is in subtitles
-
One must imagine syphisus as a lego domino machine
-
This is a sweet build. If the motor was quieter, the clacking of the dominoes would be very relaxing.
-
I would fully expect to see something like this in the window of a toy shop, running indefinitely to attract attention. Very cool, love the build
-
Wow, completely blown away by the robustness and repeatability in this mechanism. Amazing work as always!
-
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

That's so satisfying, it should be an official lego set
-
As an engineer I like each part of the project, but especially the simple but effective speed control. You've totally earned those 6 million views!
-
One must imagine the Lego Dominos Restacking Machine happy...

I love that you show each advancement of the mechanism even though it means disassembling parts repeatedly
