hey how exactly do u get the bit to lift the balls on the chain because ive been trying for ages and i still don't get it?could u please reply asap:) 

[Tom Buckey]

Thanks for giving my machine a go, but I dont quite understand what has gone wrong:
1. have you already connected the chain?
2. Is it the fork thing that wont pick up the ball?

[brentbrent]

cool! i have all the parts ecsept for a few peices but that promblem will be solved when my motorized madness ball machine comes by UPS

[Lowney]

You should add like a fan or something that spins when the ball hits it (on the stairs) to add some excitement! But very good.

[Tom Buckey]

this was my first ever ball machine that built so it is a bit dull. ive got a new one coming along. it was inspired by I_a_c splat!

[Lowney]
