looks like a big machine with a few pieces i like them the most but small ones with very much are fun if they are small and simple enough to carry so u can bring it to others

Hey you really need to have bigger towers if you can or have one big tower and build off of that and that might really help you incase if you build another one it may collapse but this is a good ball machine i'll give you a 5/5
TigerNod says: Apr 21, 2009. 1:00 PM
Wow dude, its great! But perhaps you need to add some more supports... Just in case of.
knexfreak95 (author) in reply to TigerNodApr 21, 2009. 1:41 PM
its gone now check out my other machine i am working on
TigerNod in reply to knexfreak95Apr 22, 2009. 5:07 AM
Btw, did you knew there is a special Knex catagory? Because this one is posted under "kids" (which is the reason I never saw this before).
The KNex Weasel says: Apr 19, 2009. 9:41 AM
That's pretty good for a first attempt. My main suggestion is you should add cross-braces to the support towers so they'll be sturdier. I notice one of the towers is leaning a little, which is why I suggested that. Still pretty good, though.
knexfreak95 (author) in reply to The KNex WeaselApr 19, 2009. 10:03 AM
check out the one i am working on now and thanks:)
The Jamalam says: Apr 10, 2009. 2:01 AM
looks really flimsy on the supports, on the first picture one of the towers is bending. Good machine though, you have a lot of parts :P
knexfreak95 (author) in reply to The JamalamApr 14, 2009. 5:57 PM
yeah i know but that was taken when it was like half done
JAKE856 says: Apr 12, 2009. 11:18 AM

knexfreak95 (author) in reply to JAKE856Apr 13, 2009. 1:42 PM
wooooooooooooooow well do you know who i am
knex_builder_freak says: Apr 9, 2009. 7:23 PM
man I thought I would be the first to comment... oh well. It looks really nice the paths are awesome only you lack supports and the supports you put in are weak, and bending. 4/5 stars
knexfreak95 (author) in reply to knex_builder_freakApr 9, 2009. 7:46 PM
i did that on perpus so the ball had some rum to look better
knex_builder_freak in reply to knexfreak95Apr 10, 2009. 7:51 AM
