After all my marble videos and chain reactions in one take: I'm back with the screenlink format. It allows me to test riskier techniques and make longer videos. And for the first time it's a 100% Kapla project, inspired by @KaplaBen here : [ Ссылка ]
Until now I only had 400 planks but I contacted the company and they sent me a big box with thousands of Kaplas :p
I also personally bought red and blue Kaplas to make the project more colorful and easy to understand. The idea for the colors is that white Kapla = structure, blue = Domino and red = mechanism or important part (approximately).
I tried to use only big and impressive structures, which you can't do with normal sized dominoes. Let's talk about the tricks in order of appearance :
- Zig-zag Inversion : there is tape on all the blue kaplas to make them slide more, because the paint rubs too much and stops the kaplas from going down.The lever part is ultra tricky, it has to be perfectly placed to work in both ways. But once the right height is found it seems to work every time.
- Double Inversion: I didn't think that was possible x) . As you can imagine, the hardest part is the first descent. The kaplas must have exactly the right angle. If you look carefully there is a hole underneath the 2 horizontal red kaplas, to prevent the vibrations of the shock from making the tilted blue kaplas from falling early.
- Spiral stairs: like in the @KaplaBen screenlink but higher, with colors, and with barriers to prevent the kaplas from falling on each other which caused me some failures. It doesn't happen in his video but I still don't understand how, maybe luck?
- Double wallback: Probably the clip that failed the most, because the wall was too strong with pillars at 45°. With this version with all pillars aligned it seems to work all the time. I think it's even possible to do triple/quadruple/infinite wallback with this structure ! Each wall wants to fall because of the weight at its extremity (3 horizontal kaplas) but it can't because of the weight of the wall above
- Double slide (there is lots of double in this video) : I thought it was a fun challenge to design a multi-use element with kaplas. It almost failed, the red block almost touched the final blue line !
- Implosion towers : the way it was supposed to fall down is like the first tower, many kaplas fall at the bottom of it and the base breaks. Not really what happened but it looks cool. Don't build this trick, it's not reliable and based on luck. Sometimes the tower will not fall or a kapla will be ejected through the tower and hit the next blue line.
- Square slide : of course there is tape everywhere on the red kapla to make it slide easily
- KAPLApult : I cheated about my 100% pure Kapla project because of tape once again. It was impossible to make it work without a big block like that, all the kaplas need to apply the force at the exact same time. If you know how to build it without tape, feel free to leave me a comment below ;)
It almost failed (especially the 2nd one). Yes it's unreliable and impossible to know where the red kapla is going to fall. To make it work you need a bigger target zone.
- Zig-zag towers : they are so much in sync that it's troubling
- Shockwave : I used a trick like that in my collab with Hevesh5. But this time it's more reliable (worked on the first try) because the shock is big enough, thanks to tape
- Falling inside the tower : I like how it goes up without any kapla falling on the ground and not that much protective barriers. And lol it hitted the light and make it turn to follow the chain reaction
- Tube bridge : invented by @kaploss here : [ Ссылка ]
Easy to make it fall but a nightmare to build. You have to build it like a tower and turn it on its side. It holds thanks to the friction so paint is a good thing here. Placing the dominoes inside the tube was a hardcore level of building
- Kapla wheel : @kaploss again : [ Ссылка ]
Not reliable because it can disassemble randomly when rolling
- Classic bridge : Just because I had to do it. There is no real Kapla video without a bridge like that :)
- The arch : ultra hard to build alone, but it looks cool for a thumbnail
- Risky bridge : it's like a video game when the bridge is falling behind you. One week thinking about it and testing to find this design. Tips : easier to build if you have an even floor, not like mine
- X trick : a small and slow trick to contrast with the rest. Hard to build it high because of unstability
- Down tower : I invented this tricks almost 10 years ago in an old video on this channel. Because of the tunnel it continues only when the tower is completely destroyed
- Pyramid : a pyramid
