Eagle Arm Lift, a Knex Ball Machine Lift

Hello!

This are the instructions for the fifth new lift in my knex ball machine Elysium.

It has two entrances and two exits on each side, and a big counterweight in the middle.

This lift works best when integrated in a ball machine (it can be a little flimsy when not in a ball machine).

When you encounter a problem or have a question, you can always send me a message.

Thanks for watching / building!

This counterweight helps pushing the arms up. You can always replace the wheels with something else if you don't have enough of them.

Step 4: Frame

In this step we build two frames that will hold the entrances and exits.

Step 5: Entrances and Exits

In this step we add the entrances and exits for both sides of the lift.

Step 6: Arms

In this last step, we're going to make the arms.

Step 7: Finished!

The Eagle Arm Lift is finished!

Always slide the switch of the motor to the left.
