Difficult?!?  It just goes in a spiral!  One Path!  It is not like it is Chaos or xXxXx.!  There are other people out there who can build knex.  Put this in a easy or medium catagory.  IMO.

[Pizzapie500]

Lolz I know this comment is over a year old but u didn't say what your email is

[djstylecontroller]

dang... for a dutch guy like me you use some hard words! (continuation of the continuing continuation... ... aforementioned...) but this is a very good instructable!

[blackspike]

This thing is more trouble than its worth because you have not given good enough instructions and pictures

[blackspike]

stuck on step 11 as there is NO YELLOW CONNECTOR IN THE TOWER where IT SAYS THERE IS help please oh and by the way you could do with improving some of the pictures as on some of them I was left guessing what to put

[donaven]

To stables it better ,answer.............put 2 blue spacers in between the oranange connectors!

[donaven]

How do I keep the yellow path together? It always pops apart in areas.

[ploo402]

Dangit! I keep running out of blue rods!

[ploo402]

Just a quick thing: You say you only need 1 yellow 5 slot connecter, but I can clearly see 3

[coolknexcreations]

Never mind I just had to change the gray connecters to red connecters on the red path and take away the gray connecters on the support structure IV

[coolknexcreations]

My ball won't get past the yellow rod it hooks onto. (support structure IV)

[DrWeird117]

"Immeuble" means building in French.

[deviant]

[builder968]

LOL!!!you dont have balls!
