[fraggle]

i did this as a craft for an after school program and day camp program... kids loved it. easy toy for them

[BEAST14]

great instructable, short, simple, get's straight to the point. I've made several of these and even sold some of them to friends/family. :)

[agis68]

cool!!! what if not using equal size balls?

[kaatryn]

Oh, I have to make this. Absolutely fun. Thanks.

I was looking at it wondering "what's so interesting about a bunch of marbles?" but that was so cool... If only I could find my brothers' old marbles...

the video is on the intro page

Hmm...I bet if you made a whole bunch of these, you could have a lot of fun building towers of these blocks. It'd be tricky due to the shape, but there's the challenge. Of course, even as a top this is pretty awesome! Perfect for my desk at work...as if I didn't have enough toys already. Still, I think I will find some brass balls and make this with those, so when I'm not using them I can stack them by my Captain Barbosa action figure, and they'll look like treasure.

Bottom Line:

5 bucks + 5 minutes = fun for kids of all ages!

Great Instructable!

they guy who holds the patent on these thought the same thing (his are made from clear plastic spheres and he has 4 and 5 sphere versions) saw him o this show talking about this store in NYC that sells all sorts of difrent plastic shapes g4 had a show about inventor and how they cam up w there ideas way back when even had the inventor of heelies on it b4 they took off

[Lebanite]

[pyro13]

AWSOME!

[sugg22]

i've got something similar, but it doesn't do the flippy thing

[austin]

if you use an air compressor blow gun or just blow on it with a straw while its spinning you can accelerate it pretty fast.

[Wolf Seril]

When I looked at the picture I thought to myself "Wow. How amazing." But that actually is pretty cool for being so simple.

[thebluemartyr]

for what it is, just 4 marbles and a drop of glue, this is pretty neat, good instructable, doesn't need quite so many steps, but who gives a damn

[cry_wolf]

Haha, i have those exact same marbles that i bought from the dollar store. Looks like fun and is extremely simple. Using a glue that involves mixing compounds for a reaction works best s it is insanely powerful.
