This is my best ball machine yet! it has 4 paths and 4 towers. it took me just under 2 weeks to make it. i hope to make many more ball machines in the future. i will upload a video of it over the next few days. tell me what you think! (i give credit to kairah, for the zigzag, darth trainman, for the red ball dropper, tornado96, for the curved drop and finally kiteman, for the name!)

elements...

1: skinny pathing
2: curved drop
3: pipe/tube
4: loop
5: spiral stairs
6: tunnel pathing
7: zigzag
8: basket
9: red ball dropper
10: orange slide
11: little moving parts (mainly on the pathing)
12: path changers

You don't have to give trainman credit for the red ball dropper because it is in a knex set.
