Nice! late comment lol :)
Maybe I will try to build a higher ball machine, when it's summer (It can start snowing every moment now where I live xp)
I just bought 40 kilo knex so I think I have enough pieces to make a higher one :D

good luck, it was just complicated to assemble that thing, lol, my friend AND my parents helped me to do so.......

wow 4 people for just putting on the top, then it was really difficult and complicated or it was very heavy.

Haha, thanks!
And you are the first one who asked me, it is some slideshow i programmed on my own. Everyone can make there own here: http://www.sorunome.de/webdeveloping/slideshow/
Then just copy-paste the embed-code and enter it there where you usually enter the embed code of a youtube vid and tada, there you have your slideshow :D

If you don't mind my asking, how did you make the top? Did you have a ladder.....Are you EXTREMELY TALL! XD

Sorunome (author) in reply to crouchingwolfAug 7, 2012. 1:19 AM

i'm extremely tall :P

nah, jk
i had a ladder, and notice the window in the background, it was still very heavy but we were then 4 people in total to get the top up there. Tubing was already on it :P

That was cool!

You should really get a tripod. The camera shaking was REALLY annoying.

For some reason the return path is my favourite part. It was so cool seeing the ball roll over the hill!

Sorunome (author) in reply to Tornado96Jun 16, 2012. 12:51 AM

Thanks!
And I got a tripod, just sometimes it wasn't too good to use it IMO, well, or i was to lazy ^^

This is Amazing :D im pretty sure with more knex, you would have added more elements and lifts, but this is pretty cool :)

Sorunome (author) in reply to Senior WafflemanJun 15, 2012. 7:27 AM

Haha, it was already very complicated like this to assemble it... xD

Sorunome (author) in reply to dr. richtofenJun 15, 2012. 7:27 AM

Thanks! It took about a month (i think)

jmiester says: Jun 14, 2012. 1:28 PM

Wow! is it truly a Guinness World Record?

38

Sorunome (author) in reply to jmiesterJun 14, 2012. 1:42 PM

Guinnes World record =/= World record.
A guinnes world record is just a record that is observed by that company, it may be that "guinnes world records" actually aren't world records, just that they don't know of it.
And I didn't go to guinnes, to lazy ^^
AAAAAAnd as far as I know it's the tallest one :)

And thanks! :)
