"Deux" K'nex Ball Machine

Currently, this is the first ball machine on this site. Anyways, this a relatively small and simple ball machine with two paths and a motor driven chain. It isn't immensely difficult to build, but it uses a lot of pieces. This was originally built last year but then I decided to make an instructable out of it since it wasn't as huge as my other ones were. So, without further ado, I bring you... Deux.

[TwistedParadox]

eBay.co.uk

[Darth Trainman]

Original Roller Coaster and Big Ball Factory. Or knex.com. OR, just use roller coaster tubing.

[knexjay]

do you mean make 1 of that 2 of that and 3 of that?

[Darth Trainman]

No, I just numbered each for convenience, cause they all look practically the same.

[rexdino5]

Hey the xxxxx what ever that or how big that is i might have enough pieces for that. I have 4 tubes full of knex from my cousins and i bought a lot of other things. I also have a lot of the railing.

[DYLEGO]

trust me, he wont post. thousands upon thousands of pieces, and like 8 ft tall. if you have enough, be original and create your own ball machine.

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

U NEED TO RE DO U PARTS LIST OR ASK SOMEONE NICELY TO DO IT.

[Darth Trainman]

?

[DYLEGO]

ok, i have enough orange tabbed commectors, but i dont have any rails with me, so do u think the loop will still work if i use yellow halves?

[builder968]

im gonna build it then tell you, since i dont have any of those orange tabbed thingies.

[jthtiger]

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]
