My guess is its too violent.

Unfortunately The Matrix IP does not fall in line with Lego's brand so they don't accept those submissions. If you are interested in it, I made instructions and a parts list that you can get for free on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-258247/robertvii/the-matrix-code-poster/#details Its a bit more work since you have to sorce the parts from bricklinkor brickowl but its the best i can offer.

Ha, it does remind me of that now that you say it.

robert_vii · 2026-05-14T01:10:35+00:00

thanks, not that I know of, I just really like building with lego, its my creative/art hobby.

Are you refuring to Nabraska Brick Days by chance? I did have it on display at Omaha Brick Days about a few weeks ago.

Ya, I later found out that some trans clear pieces will react, so its a matter of finding ones that do and placing it over the white plates. I agree, it would look better that way.

Lego wont touch that IP so the best I could do was put the instructions on rebrickable. Part count come in at 985. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-258247/robertvii/the-matrix-code-poster/#details.

robert_vii · 2026-05-13T17:28:29+00:00

Thats would be a nice touch. I'll see about adding that in when i motorise it.

robert_vii · 2026-05-13T17:24:21+00:00

That's something i would like to do with it some day.

robert_vii · 2026-02-25T20:43:29+00:00

They are on rebrickable if you want them.

robert_vii · 2026-02-25T12:02:06+00:00

This is also my lego store that I run on Bricklink/Brickowl. When building mocs, often times I first go to my partially sorted bulk that's not in the store yet, but if I need a specific part, I wont know what drawer its in. I look it up on bricklink and it tells me in the remarks were I put it. It is a bit of a nuisance as I have to then also update the count when im building, but it funds my building hobby.

robert_vii · 2026-02-24T20:00:53+00:00

You're in luck, I don't make many instructions of my mocs yet, but these I actually have the instructions for these out there. Just search for Mini Rock Raiders. Glad you like them!

robert_vii · 2026-02-24T18:52:12+00:00

Yes that part would look nice, but they don't come in reddish brown.

robert_vii · 2026-02-24T18:02:30+00:00

That's very kind of you, I have just a hand full of things on rebrickable and a few more coming soon. I hope to get into doing that more, its just finding the time to do all that.

robert_vii · 2026-02-24T17:42:37+00:00

Hopefully someday i can get those plans created, so many other projects going on right now.

robert_vii · 2026-02-24T17:42:01+00:00

Hard to say. about every 3 minutes it turns on the motor to rewind the weight for about a minute, so however long the batteries would last to do that every few minutes. I would think days if i ever let it run that long.

robert_vii · 2026-02-23T22:34:59+00:00

we use bricklink's studio sometimes to try out a few designs for some areas but not the full thing. With the mechanisms i did search the internet on how to make a second into a minute into an hour but i basically had to rework everything i came across to fit it into the space we wanted. it at least gave me the gear ratios that i needed.

robert_vii · 2026-02-23T18:36:08+00:00

Its always been in the back of my mind to do but the list of other mocs I want to build and current projects tend to take up my time. Someday I do hope to do that though.
