I need to get a Costco membership to pick up a Hornet Swarm so I can build something.

Often get trial membership offers in the mail, just not one since I found out it is a Costco exclusive.

That's an awesome ball machine! The base looks so cool. I also like the orange tracks curving around the front. When do you think it'll be finished?

The chain near the door, is that what I think it is?
![]() Though, on a closer look, I'm not sure if it's like the alternative chain lift. Though this whole structure looks so complex, I just love it even if it's not operating! |

Isn't it the chain connecting the 4-armed wheels together?

I started a ball tower yesterday while I was bored at home (visiting for the weekend). I'll probably finish it over Spring Break.
It's definitely not going to be as big as Enigma or Glacier, but it's going to use a lot of orange track, and I'm also experimenting with micro pieces as paths (they actually work very well together).

I'm trying to make a "topple tower" like you see in some amusement parks.
I got a bit of the structure done and I noticed I'll be having a hard time to figure out how to pull the "ring of seats" up as the load is rather heavy. And getting a good counterweight will be difficult too, when the seats are up at the top, the momentum is realy great and the tower is realy small still. |

Over the weekend built a K'nex snake with wheels (a skate snake) then added retractable variable geometry wings so it could be a flying skating serpent. Used the painted contoured plates from Monster Truks to give the snake eyes.

The topple tower isn't much of a succes so far.
Now I'm trying to enhance my walker. Going to let the feet have a difference of 90°. So I'll end up having 12 feet :s I just discovered the solid rods I used have been bended caus of all the weight they had to endure. (I had put some things on top of the walker now and then and it was resting on only 3 of it's feet instead of all 6) |

Finally finished my ball machine. I've been working on it on and off for the past 6 months, but its done. It's the first time I've tried building from the bottom up and it makes it much easier to have more dense elements, closer together.
pictures and video sometime this week |

Anyone building anything new? I saw Shadowman finished his massive ball machine recently. I am incredibly busy with my senior year of college. Thankfully next semester should not be nearly as bad. Just have to make it there first.
