Perpetual Ball Roller
Intro: Perpetual Ball Roller
This machine is controlled by a PicAxe Microcontroller. A servo (used for steering in R/C cars) is used to tilt the track for a ball to roll round. The degree of the tilt can be controlled by a potentiometer in manual mode or in automatic mode preset instructions on the microcontroller tell the servo how to move.

I like this as a project and would like to make one, however, it isn't a good example of an instructable without all the information available to enable you to make make it.
The link with the picaxe code no longer works.

Code is in the link below. The pictures should give you a good idea of how it was made. Ask if anything isn't clear.
