K'nex Ball Machines Answered

I've noticed that there has been a recent rise of ball machines being made by the k'nexers. I think this is great. I personally love ball machines and have made 4 of them. I am currently working on a 5th one which is approximately 170 cm. or 67 inches tall. It has 4 paths so far. Comment if you are currently building or planning a ball machine.

I'm working on a ball machine called Cataclysm. I'm almost finished with the main lift system.

This lift is long gone. In fact, that comment was the first ever comment I posted on Ibles!

Wow, you should make the car go down a runway back to the start so it can pick the balls up again without hassle.

i am trying to build a ball machine but i dont have much of an idea on how to build one....... i dont have a chain so i am making it that you just put the ball in from the top. i am hopefully getting some more peices soon so i will have less peice limitations

I will be posting another ball machine sometime soon (and possibly an Instructable if I'm in the mood to terrorize Trainman) once I take apart Glacier (Found here). I'm planning on making it a vamped-up Loopin' Lizard. But first, I have to get through something else--Final exams.

If I had the pieces I would have made a ball machine by now. I used to love real ball machines of sorts when I was a kid. I always wanted to get that one knex set but it was just too much at the time.
