Introduction: Equipoise: a K'nex Ball Machine

About: I have a YouTube channel where I do LEGO and K'Nex stuff but my instructables account is going to be pretty much just K'Nex. But still check out my YouTube channel! And I will keep posting new stuff so check …

Hello, this is Equipoise, my 13th Ball Machine. It has 5 lifts and 5 paths. There is a lot of Mario Kart track. There is also a "red floor" aka some of the wide mario tracks used like a white floor to collect all of the balls. The video is in with the images, You might have to hunt to find it :)

It is an Entry in the "Automation" contest, so vote, vote, vote!

The music in the video is a trombone quintet my entry in Christopher Bill's YouTube composition competition.
