Inspired by Akiyuki, Berthil Van Beek has designed this GBC module called Rainbow Wave. It has 38 colors and about 1150 moving parts. It is powered by a single motor, with each of the colored pistons sitting on an 8-tooth gear. Each piston’s gear is exactly 1 tooth offset from its neighbours making one wave 8 colors. The GBC is level so the balls are moved by the waving surface. — Description from Berthil Van Beek – thanks to him —

There is 3003 part listed with a color 0. What is that color?
This would make a great eye-catching addition to any GBC – perfect for transporting balls around to the next module.
However, what is the little bush item (5 number) on page 103 of Courbet’s building instructions? I can’t place it anywhere.
It is a 1×1 round plate with a hole through it. It can be placed on the center knob on the bottom of the 1×8 plate.
