video CYCLO
My first K'nex ball machine.
Here is the instructable on the elements!
I finished counting pieces. The final amount is 11 411 pcs.
Ofcourse, due to miscalculations and things like rubber bands etc, this number can be off a little.

ik heb een speciale webcam waarmee ik veel goede foto's kan maken
dus tijdens het bouwen van mijn ball machine ga ik er meteen instructies bij zetten
nouja, met movie maker kan je vast wel voldoende doorspoelen XD
My current ball tower isn't as innovative, I just want to make it tall this time.
To bad examinations are closing in so soon...
You can make a link to the youtube video or the instructable or something like that.
also good filmed hope i could contact you some more times
further one thing
from wich country you are?
greetings kululknex

Congrats, thats in the top 10... I think...
great job
And I can honestly say this is the first knex 'ible I'm truly impressed about. You clearly have a good imagination and mechanical insight judging from the different tracks and tranport systems. How long did it take you to build?
Bravo good sir bravo.
I'm glad you liked it. The first part of cyclo was constructed somewhere in october. Then things like the mill lift and such followed. I finished constructing at about christmas i think.
Though I didn't work at cyclo all the time, just when I had some inspiration and time.
I love the intricacy of it all.
This was very well constructed.
May i make a couple suggestions?
1. Stationary camera shots would make it much easier to watch. Try using a "gorillapod" or the likes, or make some kind of mini-tripod yourself!
2. More lighting would be awesome too. Maybe you could even thread certain parts with rope or string lights?
You could even make yourself a neon glowing ball!
(picture and link below)
Who knows, be creative!
All in all, i thought this was pretty freakin cool.
Keep up the great work!

Though, there are 2 other videos on youtube on cyclo, called phase 1 and phase 2. These show the ball machine in earlier stages and some of them are more "clear".
And using a tripod? Where would I have putted that? I'd never manage to take close-ups, there's no place to put it!
I did make this one standard for the camera once, but i needed the long rods and yet again, it was realy difficult to find a good position for it.
Some of the shots were taken when I completely crawled in the machine and climbed on my clauset caus the balls were running trough the tracks in the back and you don't realy see that from the front.
A glowing ball would be cool, but it would need to be the right size and plastic. Things like the rubber balls don't work in it, they have too much friction. And guess what, the christmas lights were in the christmas tree!
Thanks for replying though :)
You need not explain yourself, my ideas were just suggestions.
Now, i also don't have a video camera.. i also use a digital camera.
Look up "gorillapod"
It's made for digital cameras, and it'sr "legs" are super-posable - more like multi jointed fingers.
I agree, a full sized tripod would not work, that is why i did not suggest it.
You could very easily wrap the fingers around a couple knex stickout out of the side, and judging by your creativity, you wouldnt have any trouble figurin out how to make something like that works.
Again, these are all just suggestions for future projects!
Have fun, keep up the creativity!
I might get one of those, thanks
