I'm working on a new design for this lift... Instead of the pushers being on the slider rods, I'm working on creating a cart that the pushers roll on. I think it will work with less friction and run smoother... pics soon, I hope.

Awesome lift! Sadly, it doesn't work well with golf balls because they're too heavy. :(

Coole lift ik heb hem gebouwd en hij werkt perfect! Ik ga hem gebruiken in mijn volgende knex ball machine.

do you need that motor

[martijnb95]

no you can use every knex motor that's powerfull enough. otherwise you need to gear it down.
