Shadowman39 and Tornado96 are back with our second collaboration, the shifting arm lift! This lift uses two sets of arms that alternate on going up and down.

Yes, after 3 years, I have finally decided to post instructions of my miter saw. This saw is just like the old one, except a few minor color changes to give it a more consistent color scheme.

And, all of it is mechanical, using only normal motors to power it (no CyberKne...

It sure has been a long time since I made an Instructable.  This lift is based on the stepper lift that was in a Knex set, except it doesn't use as much friction when the carts have to slide on rods. Instead, the carts are on small towers that are attached to axles. So, you can make ...

This is a lift for ball machines, and it's an inverted double helix lift. This lift was first featured in Cataclysm (last picture shows it). It's similar to a regular double helix lift, except the tower rotates in the middle, and the helix is on the outside! Of course, there's still ...

This is my entry into the Kinetic Sculpture Contest. This is a kinetic sculpture that catapults ping pong balls into the air, into a basket, and back to the catapult. It runs for as long as you want it to with a motor, and a rubber band powers the catapult. A mechanism at the end allows ...
