Knex Ball Machine Lift

Step 8How to use

How to use
This is just a final step on how to use it, though its pretty self explanatory.

1: Get however many balls you want to use
2: Put them on the dispensers track
3: Push the black knob on the motor to the right
4: Watch it go!

Thanks for building! I hope you get many wonderful ideas with this lift. Let me know of you use it!

This is great! I'm building a big ball machine with three lifts and this will be a good substitute for chain.
