[Lightning Thunder]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[colton blake]

I made this a while ago but i can say you're very smart!

[slithien]

 dont know to build this or immueble??? i know il build both!!

[knex obsessed]

this is so cool, can you make this but as a bigger version pleaz also can someone help me as i can't rate

[TwistedParadox]

The whole point of it being small is that is supposed to be a small ball machine, what are you?

[knex obsessed]

i didn't say it was small i was just askin if you could make it into a bigger version

[Mr. Muggle]

If you want a bigger version, check out my ball machine, it also has a ferris wheel and two ramps, it's only bigger and a different lift system:

[TwistedParadox]

If he made it into a larger version it would defeat the point of it being small which is what it is meant to be. If you want to build a large ball machine, find an Instructable that actually shows how to build a large ball machine.

I built this ball machine a few days ago. Every day I've added at least one more different path/element. My final addition, which I'm working on now, is a double helix lift. The basis, obviously, is the Project BOX Ball Machine.

[randomocity]

Do u think u could take better quality pictures? 4 me it was kinda hard 2 understand at certain parts...

[Yoshian12]

i would be inpresed if it was smaller

[The Jamalam]

i would make some kind of inuendo here but I wont...

[TwistedParadox]

Can I?

[The Jamalam]

if you must...

[TwistedParadox]

That's what she said. (sorry for the late joke, I didn't notice)

[~KGB~]

[Hiyadudez]

Sweet ball machine 5*s. And: 1. Is that your AWesome Vivisector in the background? 2. How high can u make a ball machine with 5782 peices of knex? 3. I Just bought 57 feet of orange track, can u show me how to make the loop you used in CHAOS? Thanks!

[Tom Buckey]

[Gilrostwo]

Try a non-chain lift type (someone uploaded a ferris-wheel type lift).

[Darth Trainman]

Yeah, But ball machines with 45 links are REALLY small.

[Tom Buckey]

i no as ive tryed but all my ball machines are absaloot poo an i need help i have no roller coaster or ball machine trak so just on more plz!!!!!!

[KrazyKow]

"1337 pursphekivs"
"leet perspectives"

[ILIKEPIE333]

cool 5*s

[theperson2]

zzgs how is it a fake? So its small Darth trainman is just trying to post someone for every on if they have 1000 or 10000 pieces so ha

[The KNex Weasel]

I almost agree with you, except I don't think something with 103 purple connectors and 197 blue rods is something everyone with exactly 1000 pieces would have (except perhaps for me...I have 640-ish purple connectors and about 750 blue rods, but even then...)

[grevious]

WHAT THE FU** THAT IS LIKE A BAJILLION PIECES i really need more knex. but sadly, i also need more money..............

[The KNex Weasel]

Me, have a bajillion pieces? I doubt it. More like 7,500 for me. The Big Ball Factory comes with loads of both pieces.

[I_am_Canadian]

Thats a good set man...

[grevious]

but still 750 blue rods, i dont even think i have 100, or 75, the most i have is like 77 red rods. but thats about it. oh and about 145 yellow connectors.

[The KNex Weasel]

That's still quite a lot. You could build some cool ball machines with that amount of pieces. P.S. I now have almost 900 blue rods.
