Intro: Marble Machine: Patch + More Prices

Hello everyone, 

As I explained before: I'm now a pro member and I have 14 patches left to send. I don't know what to do with them so I decided to hold a contest. If you want to enter here are the rules:
1:The assignment is to create a marble machine out of k'nex that can fit in a red rod box.
2: There's no piece limit
3: All kinds of K'nex pieces are allowed but you can't use anything but K'nex pieces.
4: It must be automatic (which means you'll have to build a lift)

Prizes:
1st place: Patch + lots of honor.
2nd place: Patch + nice comment from me =D
3rd place: Patch

You can enter until I say you can't enter anymore :-p.
I hope to get alot of participants. Creativity will be rewarded.

PS: I posted this as a slideshow because I know most people don't check forums and questions.

Good luck!

This sounds SO hard!

Since, no one seems to be entering this, I'll go head and enter what I came up with.

Its pretty much impossible to make a lift and exit track without going outside the red box.

Ok, that's really nice, but some people are still busy so I'm gonna have to wait for the other entrants

I would just like to say that this is IMPOSSIBLE to do in a red box. There's no way to fit an entrance lift and exit. Is it OK if you change it to 3 blue squares by 3 blue squares?

Oh wait Coaster105 is in thiis? Well I should pretty much give up... JK :-P

RNB 13 years ago

It IS possible. I've made 3 lifts in 1/5th of the space!

RNB 13 years ago

No, with micro k'nex.

RNB 13 years ago

Yup. Why not? It's allowed :-P

Shadowman39 13 years ago

I know, I didn't know you had micro pieces.

RNB 13 years ago

I've 3 - 4 thousand of 'em!

RNB 13 years ago

OK :-P
