Guide To Different K'nex Ball Machine Types

 by 8chillpill
This guide is all about the different ball machine structures. Any ball machine type that I have not built has a computer-generated, home-made, 3D model of the basic structure. Use this guide to classify your ball machine, and to help determine which elements may work best for you. To see many different structure types, go to www.youtube.com/8chillpill and watch my videos! Enjoy!

Step 1: All-Around

This ball machine type is tall, yet wide enough to support its own weight. The best size is 3x4 Red rods. No support towers needed. Any elements listed in my previous guide to ball machine elements work on this type

It looks like you are using a knex software (to get those digital photos) .I've been looking for a k'nex software.

How about ones attached to the wall and ceiling?

Nice! :) But there are more clasifications: the ones that go around the hole room and the ones that are made out of tower but NOT have a table at the top, just some connections! :)
