Yes, but it might be unstable. I suggest that you add some extra scaffolding to hold it in place.

I gave it a crack and all I could think of was a lever to engage/disengage the motor. I can't think of any use for this.

The ball lands in the top of the element, and then the element tips to the right. Instead of the ball falling to the right, it instead swings all the way around and gets shot to the left in a way that reminds me of ten-pin bowling.

I'm so glad that you made it and liked it. I like the entrace/exit ramps that you built.

Added! Step 19.

Sorry dude, I don't have a piece count.I designed this lift so you can extend it to any size.You also can skip steps 6-7 (the entrance track) and let the ball start anywhere.Step 1 (scaffold) is only a suggestion, and should be replaced according to the design of your ball machine.For these reasons, it's hard to determine how many pieces are needed.

You mean on step 4? I fixed it now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Inserted at step 18.

Sorry for the late reply. Go back to step 2 and make the red gears further apart.

I'd have to see a video/pictures of the ball trying to get through your lift in order to help you.

So do you mean a combination of these?

This is a very interesting idea. I think I might try it.Could you explain your design in a bit more detail please?

Thanks, means a lot.

I am not entirely sure what your problem is.Is the ball getting stuck at the Loader (step 17)? If so, replace the blue rods with white rods.Is the ball not rolling on the Entrance track (step 15)? Is it getting blocked by That Moving Bit (step 8)? If so, I suggest making your own entrance track. This requires removal of pieces in step 3, 15, and 17, and some imagination.Step 3: In the first picture there are 2 yellow rods. Remove the one on the right. Above that there is a blue rod and a dark grey connector. Remove those pieces as well.Step 15: Remove the Red-Green-Orange-Green part, as well as the yellow rod beneath it.Step 17: Replace the yellow and green connectors with light grey connectors.Imagination: Make a path connecting the Loader to the Scoop.If your problem is that the ball w…

That falls under step 23. Can you think of a better name for that step?
