Hello i am MrMuggle, you've probably never seen me around this site because this is my first instructable. It is actually an add on darth trainmans instructable: the ultimate guide to ball machine elements or whatever it is called exactly. I could talk hours and hours but let's get started.

By the way what I show you here are not exact instructions, they are more like ideas you could use in your ball machine. But i don't mind if you copy them.

ps im sorry for my bad english, im from holland

here is a link to trainmans instructable, it might be handy to use them both:

and a link to POWER TOWER, my latest ball machine

Aug 10, 2010. 10:01 PMrandude says:
thank you! i've been wanting to inclued a half pipe in one of my ball mahcines.
Aug 1, 2010. 9:24 AMlooney1023 says:
This also can be called "The Race Gate", the "2 Ball Release", or just "The Race"
Aug 1, 2010. 9:21 AMlooney1023 says:
Some call it switchback paths. And by the way, in english the word "falls" would demonstrate the ball going down instead of "flips". "Flips" would be used for if something turns over/ rolls over/ goes upside-down. Ex Ball FALLS through here. Paper FLIPS over.

Thanks so much for posting a link to the instructions!!

If I buy enough balls for my new ball machine, then I certainly will use this!!

Thanks a lot!! :)
