Intro: Knex Calculator

This, as the title suggests, is a calculator made out of knex. It is extremely easy to use and requires a small amount of parts. It can add the numbers 1-9 to create instantaneous answers of 1-18.

STEP 1: Body

STEP 2: Processors

STEP 3: Processor Track

STEP 4: Display, Installing the Mobile Processor, and Building the Addition Wand

STEP 5: How Do I Use It?

Is there any way to bypass the Knex Track?

Maybe you could just use normal yellow pieces.

Thanks, I made it with just yellow pieces like you said and changed the 2nd step a little and it works fine. 5 stars
