Well, here is a small ball machine, with a twist - No lift!

What?! No lift? How the heck does that work?

Well, it works like this. The track is a smooth flat circle, sitting on the base. The base has four "Arms" that stick out, and at the end of each one is a mechanism that makes a rod go up and down. These uppy-downy rods connect to the circular track and cause it to ossilate in such a way that the ball rolls around in a circle. Watch the video to make sense of it all.

Hope you like it!

Got those? Lets get cracking.

Step 2: Track

This is the track. Whoopee!

1: Make the... track. It has 48 Yellow connectors on the inside and 48 on the outside. The inner track is solid, but the outside is not connected. Its made of yellows + Green rods. See the following two photos to see what I mean.
2: ---
3: ---
4: Make this
5: Make four of these.
6: Make four of these too
7: Put the first four on like so
8: And the other four on like so
9: Put the track in like so. Its connected to the frame every 6th piece.
10: Close up of what the connections look like.

:-D

Step 3: Base Arms

These are the arms that go out from the base. Make them. NOW!

1: Make these two bits
2: Put it together
3: Make these parts
4: Make this. Be sure you get all the spacers in the right spots
5: Close up of one end
6: Close up of the other end
7: Build this
8: Make this too
9: Put thems together
10: Add that axle thing. Presto!
11: Close up of the end
12: Put that one bit on top
13: Add the yellow rod/hinge connection
14: Close up
15: Add on the rest of the frame like so
16: Make four! Leave out one yellow rod on top of one of them. See note.

Three cheers for you.

Step 4: Base Center

This is the little bit where all the gear awesomeness happens.

1: Make these these three bits and get the spacers ready
2: Put the geared rod through the motor hole, and the other two as seen. Put spacers on.
3: Other side
4: Make this guy
5: Another side
6: And another view
7: Make four! (ouch!)
8: Build this
9: Make This gear assembley from this and the next two photos
10: ---
11: ---
12: Make this
13: Build these four corners
14: Build these three
15: Build this

No, this is not the last step. Keep going.

Step 5: Assembley

This is the little bit where all the gear awesomeness happens.

1: Put one of the corner pieces on it
2: Add one of the other pieces and put on another corner
3: Same again...
4: And once more
5: Add that center bit
6: Add in a gear bit into all four openings
7: What it should look like now
8: Add the yellow gears with the teeth facing down
9: Put that piece on top now.
10: Add motor thingy on like so. Sorry I didt't get any better shots of the connection.

Booyah!

Step 6: Allignment

Alignment? What the heck?

Well, the way it works out, the gears dont exactly line up at the moment. Its hard to explain. Just do as I say.

1: Turn on your motor untill one of the shafts is like so
2: Take your next shaft. Lightly, lift the yellow gears up so that you can turn the one shaft while the others stay stationary. Make it so that it is 90 degrees farther in rotation than the previous shaft.
3: It will look like this then
4: The next one will be like this, and the last one will be pointing down. You may want to double-check that they are all alligned.

That was confusing, hopefully you did it right, though. Your all done now!
