Hello, I decided to make an Extreme Guide to Knex Ball Machine Stuff. I dont build High, as i dont have a million pieces. Enjoy!

I have a ton more elements, and I'll add more from time to time.

It is a huge knex ball machine that came out in like 1996, maybe?

This is how you make smoother turns with this kind of pathing.

Oh really? Your guide doesnt have the following things: -Loopty Loop -Spinzel (from the TT but thats my name for it) -Yellow Connector Turn -Spiral Bowl -Lift Drop From the BBF -Mini Drop -Tri-Spin (My own creation) -Trap Door -Scale -Flexi Loop This instructable is for moor abstract elements :)
Darth Trainman says: Apr 28, 2009. 7:06 PM
A lot of them are from the BBF. Granted, mine were too, but here are the ones that are in mine: 1(In the First Ball Machine 'ible), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17(Isn't it just a ferris wheel?), 18, 20 19 and 22, I admit, are pretty cool.
littledudeo (author) says: Apr 28, 2009. 7:11 PM
Yeah sorry if it seemed like copying, but i just wanted to add some more that people may have not heard of.
The KNex Weasel says: May 13, 2009. 1:01 PM
I can assure you a lot of those are as well-known to ball tower enthusiasts as anything. I bet you got that spiral bowl idea from me or someone else who got it from me.
littledudeo (author) says: Apr 28, 2009. 5:19 PM
crap i spelled more wrong
littledudeo (author) says: Apr 29, 2009. 12:47 PM
The ball lands and falls to another element and it kind of teeter totters back and forth and it looks cool :D
coolknexcreations says: May 2, 2009. 2:24 PM

knexpert#10829476 says: Apr 30, 2009. 4:50 PM

knexpert#10829476 says: Apr 30, 2009. 4:49 PM
How do you build the teeter todder?
knexpert#10829476 says: Apr 27, 2009. 5:24 PM
Yeah what is this thing?
The Jamalam says: Apr 27, 2009. 7:49 AM
There is already one of these done by trainman. Just so you know.
littledudeo (author) says: Apr 27, 2009. 5:04 PM

littledudeo (author) says: Apr 27, 2009. 5:04 PM

coolknexcreations says: Apr 27, 2009. 4:18 PM

coolknexcreations says: Apr 27, 2009. 4:17 PM
Would you get the picture up soon plz
rexdino5 says: Apr 26, 2009. 6:28 PM
Since if it is your lucky you have a ping pong table because I don't have enough room anywhere in the house. Not even in the garage! It's filled with fishing rods and other junk.
