hey can you make a video? i wanna see it work, and how many ways can it get down. :)

I dont get why people cant grasp something like this, I mean honestly if you lack imagination then why are you playing with K'NEX? lol. I'll give you guys a quick tutorial. Take the original ball tower kit that K'NEX released. build it... now extend its hieght by a few feet and then start adding onto it.. It is very clear that this is how this project started you can even see the original 'dispenser' at the top and the initial starts down each side he just added a ton to it. I am NOT saying this didnt take a lot of effort or creativity, but that you have a commercially available starting point to do something like this on your own. So don't be hating on someone with some good creativity (and a lot of free time ;) )

brentbrent in reply to BlacksheepinatorAug 14, 2010. 3:18 PM
If you built something like that would you be able to post instructions? Hmmmm I didnt think so
Michaelgoode says: Jul 24, 2010. 1:20 AM

maxitola99 says: Jun 11, 2010. 2:21 PM
darth trainman when you are old enough you should join k'nex as a designer knex would make $99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.99 from you alone.
Green482 says: Aug 18, 2009. 9:28 AM
Okay, a lot of people seem to love this and would like to attempt it themselves. So would you please consider actually making real directions? and maybe you could market it a make lots of money!!!!
knex instructor in reply to Green482Jun 9, 2010. 4:04 PM
just be ahppy he gave instructions for the other ones i couldnt build this if i had enough peices
The KNex Weasel in reply to Green482Jan 28, 2010. 1:18 PM
Why should he?  Speaking as another person who builds ball machines, I maintain two philosophies:

1) Anyone who wants a large-scale ball tower like this should build their own.  If they're too lazy to use their own imagination, they shouldn't be asking other people to build for them.

2) It can be very hard to follow instructions for something that convoluted, and it would take months to create them (and months to build).

And you can't market that kind of ball machine.

rustymia in reply to The KNex WeaselFeb 27, 2010. 12:07 PM
 y couldnt u market that ball machine
The KNex Weasel in reply to rustymiaFeb 27, 2010. 5:10 PM
You just can't.  Try marketing one of your own deluxe ball machines, and see how well it does.

I'm actually surprised K'Nex still sells the 6-foot Ferris wheels; $500 for 8500 pieces is a scam, especially since most parents don't think it's worthwhile to spend that kind of money on something too difficult for their kids to build (bear in mind: the majority of the people who build with K'Nex are children--by the time they hit preteen/teen, they move on to other things).
KnexFreek in reply to The KNex WeaselApr 25, 2010. 8:32 AM
 that is for rich people.

Asking him to post is like telling him "hey train man can you throw your life away for some greedy sons of a b****"
Jesus. in reply to Jesus.Jan 20, 2010. 3:07 PM
Sorry not trying to make it sound like I'm calling you a son of a b****.
