That is one heck of a ball machine. I love how spaced out and airy it is - You can easily see all the elements without them being all cluttered. Hats off to you two.
That was Absolutely incredible! You have included a tremendous amount of innovation in this build! I love all the new elements spread out through the machine! And then I heard Batman Music which made it even better... and THEN I heard Pirates Of the Caribbean which just blew me away! Awesome build and GREAT song choices!
I wish I had the space to build machines like this, this is incredible! I love the inventiveness of the paths. I can say I've certainly got my work cut out for me.
OH MY GOD that is huge!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing.
This has got me craving Inception. Awesome machine by the way!
Wow! It's very big too!
Great Work! I love machines!
@austron thanks man. ive seen your contraptions theyre very neat and original. i think theyre amazing. i recently saw your latest blue fox. i like what you did with all the lights and everything on it
woaahhh!!! this is sooo cooool! im blown away.
very impressive, that is some nice work
truly amazing! i wish i had the room to build such a open ball machine....
Very cool. Super job.
Nice job guys! You have some really unique elements. I like how wide it is, and how long you make your tracks last. Awesome soundtrack too.
I picked it up at the knex headquarters several years ago.
best ever!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT thats insane!
Holy crap thats a lot of pieces and First
@nschmal1 By the way, the twin drop which splits off into a half loop and a jump is probably the most epic element I've ever seen in a ball machine.
@austron thaaanks dude, i remember thinking that way up. it was one of the earlier ways i put in there before all the ways on the L shape the juts out. i originally had it where the one did a big half loop and the other one that jumps stayed flat and bounced off a trampoline at the bottom but that did not work any way i tried it so it turned into a jump instead
@austron I think i picked up that green gear in the warehouse at Knex headquarters several years ago. i had never seen it before in any other set. Its pretty much the same as the big yellow gear from the old ferris wheel set. Those gears are hard to come by nowadays
This is amazing............ *swoons*
Awesome, one of my favorite ballmachiness. Also did you made it togheter whit keggore1 on instructables?
Awesome!! How many motors have you used?
@nschmal1 You've been to the K'nex headquarters? I'm jealous! I'd love to see that.
will this ever get on the market
@nschmal1 I spy a green planetary gear! (10:08), where did you get that? I've known that piece exists for a while, but I've never seen it in a set. Is it useful for anything in particular?
haha. this is awesome
I dont think so unfortunately, I figured out approx. price of all the pieces and to build it would cost about $5,000. It would be cool though if this did go on the market
@Gnmar2723 hahathanks. im studying architecture my brothers studying mechanical engineering
I like the part where the balls roll around.
1: where the hell did you get so much knex? 2: where the hell did you get so much free time? 3: where the hell did you get the money for the knex if you have so much free time?
is this your room ? where do you sleep ?
