Step 2: The Exit Track

Well, the exit track is the lower-most thing, so it makes sense to start with it.

Step 3: The Tower

This thing has to stand somewhere, right?

Step 4: The Counterweight

This is only important if you have it freestanding like I do, if you build it into a ball machine the counterweight is unneeded as the ball machine is usually heavy and stable enough so that you can omit the counterweight.

Step 5: The Swing

This is the heart of the element, the swing!

Step 6: Attaching the Swing

I have so many halves of the purple connectors which you attach later on here, because it is important in which way you attach them, by doing this it'll be faar harder for you to make a mistake.

Step 7: The Entrance Track

The ball somehow has to get on there, right?

Step 8: Done!

Congratulations, you are done!
I hope you'll enjoy this element!
