Wow! In step 3, part 8, it looks exactly like an optical illusion!

[Sorunome]

Maybe it IS one... :P:P:P

[Knex1235]

do you have a video

[Sorunome]

No, sorry. Maybe you could make one?

[poncho531]

Mine won't exactly be good, because I prefer to film it in one video, but it will be fine. When I cover the camera with my hand, that's path seperation.

[Sorunome]

That doesn't matter.
Please do the modification in Step 12 (I didn't add that as comment yet as i somehow can't edit ibles atm) that you use in that helix thingy instead of two yellow connectors only gold ones and wined the track all the way, I haven't tested that but that should make it work better. :)

[poncho531]

I will! After I finish building it....

When I printed the instructions out on a dell laser printer, this step turned out black and barely noticable.

[Sorunome]

Sorry, but my light didn't work proper then, and I already took it apart. But on th computer you can still see waht it has to be.
