Wacker Neuson GmbH (AT)

At a construction site everything should run fluently, to work most effective. But what if the machines get their own ideas and start to play?

The apprentices of Wacker Neuson asked this question and found a result, which can be watched here:

A ball gets to a high starting point by a programmed hydraulic shovel. When the ball is rolling down the path, different elements are triggered in this construction.

When the ball gets to the end of the path, the hydraulic shovel puts it to the starting point automatically – and the game starts again!
