i would soooo make this but its whas way too many pieces for me i only have about five thousand pieces but only 1 roller coaster which is my only set with only aset with a thousand pieces so i will probably never be able to build this even if you posted instructions 
brainiac120 in reply to cooldude2468May 29, 2011. 2:55 PM

Owenmon says: Jun 19, 2009. 3:42 PM
No offense, ore anything. But I think that this doesn't deserve top 'K'nex" Instructable. I think the K'nex Heavy Cannon, or K'nex Hydra should be the top ible. Again, no offense. :-)
TheChemiker in reply to OwenmonNov 8, 2009. 12:54 PM
True.  I_am_canadian's heavy cannons own, and he has real instructables.
Killer~SafeCracker in reply to OwenmonJun 19, 2009. 7:17 PM
I have to agree hydra is better. And the Heavy cannon has been in first place for a long time. Also 100th comment!!!
Serial-Cricket in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 20, 2009. 1:51 PM
Yeah, but the knex heavy cannon probably didn't take a month to build.
Serial-Cricket in reply to Serial-CricketJun 20, 2009. 1:54 PM
Or sixty hours (about two days). The complexity of the knex heavy cannon does not match up to this. He probably built this gradually over a month with a total of sixty hours on it.
Killer~SafeCracker in reply to Serial-CricketJun 20, 2009. 2:49 PM
No the cannon probably didn’t take a month but the Hydra took two and a half months.
Serial-Cricket in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 20, 2009. 4:32 PM
So? He may have not worked as fast. He could have ran into more problems and had to fix things.
DJ Radio in reply to Serial-CricketAug 13, 2009. 7:05 AM
I thought Heavy Cannon v1 took 2 months.

if you have that many pieces, you need to build a ball machine

geodez says: May 16, 2009. 8:55 AM
awesome 5* where do you get your knex? because you made too many ball machines to count and you also made the vivisector. where do you get your knex if i may ask again.
KEYBOARDISBROKEN in reply to geodezMay 16, 2009. 10:43 AM
just pick up loads of 2nd hand sets -so to ebay, yardsales, carboot sales, charity shops ect... if someone you know is going to get too old for their's- buy it off 'em cheap! but if all else fails, start learning to play the violin/cello- and then your parents will buy you all the k'nex to need!!!
geodez in reply to KEYBOARDISBROKENMay 16, 2009. 10:45 AM
i already play the violin, and what do knex have to do with a violin?
KEYBOARDISBROKEN in reply to geodezMay 16, 2009. 11:28 AM
i know -from expierence- that when someone is learning to play the violin, it can be one of the most irratating things. (but once you get good it sound a lot better) since you already know- just start a new- equally loud hobby- such as yodleing or the trumpet. then after two or three weeks ask your paents for more knex -chances are they'll do it to keep you quiet
geodez in reply to KEYBOARDISBROKENMay 16, 2009. 12:20 PM
no, chances are they make you take lessons, but good idea
KEYBOARDISBROKEN in reply to geodezMay 16, 2009. 2:01 PM
yeah true... i would of done it, and said the teacher told me to practive at home -but lessons turned out to be more expensive then knex...

I don't think trainie has the time to make instructions for this huge machine, and I don't think other people will take the time to follow those instructions.
coolknexcreations in reply to TigerNodApr 15, 2009. 5:22 AM
I would.
TigerNod in reply to coolknexcreationsApr 21, 2009. 12:42 PM
Hey, check out trainman's guide on how to make a ball machine then. I think it should help you a lot with making your own.
I_am_Canadian in reply to coolknexcreationsMar 9, 2009. 4:21 PM
Do you have any idea how many pieces/how hard that would be? That would literally take years to make instructions for.
slash2461 says: Apr 18, 2009. 5:56 PM
Does it make it easier to have chaos appearance with the three different lifts? Things look like they get out of control (in a good way). Just wondering if the three lifts help fill in area to make it look even more chaotic with more tracks.
zascecs says: Apr 16, 2009. 2:56 PM
what type of balls do you you?
TigerNod says: Apr 14, 2009. 12:03 PM
Dude... This is the most insanely huge ball machine I've ever seen since project -xXxXx-!!! Only true knex haters can rate this lower then 5 stars.

im in england, so... after calculation 1.168 pence per piece. thats a good deal right? P.S. it was actually 2994 pieces with 8 manuals, chain links, rollercoaster wire thing, and a motor.
Darth Trainman (author) in reply to barraxFeb 15, 2009. 12:41 PM
That's a great dead. The best I've gotten was 1.2 cents per piece.
