Great project! I had trouble coming up of a scissor lift for my school project, and this gave me inspiration! 5 stars!

Wha, it was years ago I made this and nobody ever used it in a ball machine, thanks! You just suddenly revived memories :P

cool! Can I use this in my ball machine i just started building? =D

Sorunome 12 years ago

Yeah, of course, but please give credits! :)

Sorunome 12 years ago

Maybe you can make it faster by gearing it less down, I never tried out whether the motor is strong enough for that. :P

albydesign 12 years ago

Cool, thanks! I'll try that and tell you whether it works! =D

So cool!!! 5 stars! And nice job! I've seen this kind of principle used in the real world, but never thought of it for a ball machine lift. Good job-you've sparked my imagination...

Its fine, i mmight mod this, is that ok?

Michaelgoode 13 years ago

Yes, I have tried modding this so that the piston distance ammount went further, but I seem to be struggling on the positioning on part where the piston goes through to push the ;scissor' together

You'll just have to make this scissors thing higher, then everything goes higher. If it doesn't work you'll need more power so you'll have to make it with the gears (frome small to big). :)

Ok, im really struggling really hard, I had one attempt then had to go to bed :P
