Knex Ball Machine Metaloid by KneXtreme

Finely it's here! My first knex ball machine. It features 8 paths and 3 new elements. It took about two months to complete. I built this one a while ago, I just never got around to posting it, enjoy.

Very nice job! I like the tight loop and the overall odd shape of the model. Are those legos at the top?

Thank you, and yes, those are legos. If you think this is cool you should check out my other ones.

I still don't understand how you ball machine builders can create such huge contraptions. It's pretty amazing.

You buy knex off of ebay. Of course I get mine from friends for free though...

I do. I just mean that the whole thing has to work so fluidly, while being enormous. I would fail so hard at these lol.

Nice and complex. What's with the lego house though?

Is there a video camera you would recommend when I purchase one?
KneXtreme (author) says: May 29, 2011. 11:11 AM
Sorry guys there will be no video. I took the ball machine down a while ago, and I don't have a working video camera.
