Shake Table

This shake table allows you to simulate an earthquake to shake whatever you attach to the platform and test its strength. Use the hub arrow buttons to adjust the shaking speed from very slow to full power. 


Try building your own LEGO buildings with studded LEGO bricks and see how they hold up. Technic structures are normally quite stong, but you can make one intentionally weak like the example here.

Programming

Need more power?

If you want to shake a heavy building, you may need more power from the shake table. Try stacking another motor on top of the other one (connected by an axle) and modifying the program to run both motors. The motor blocks can easily control multiple motors by changing the port to "D+F" for example.
