Default Kilopift (Ball Machine)

For a while, I've been thinking of building a ball machine since I've seen alot of videos of them on YouTube. So I have one being built now. I only have one path being made right and I'll make the second path after I finish the first path.

Here are a few pics of it.

Looks good. Be sure to get it entered into the Kick-Off contest before I make the poll.

It looks nice, but you can make it look a lot better if you use elements other than just paths. BTW, you can have the track switchy thing at the top stay on one side by adding a ladder connector and a white rod to each rod on the side you want to stay down. I use that when the other side leads to nothing.

Here's a preview video of the ball machine.

You'll notice a big difference to the ball machine when you watch the video.

Looks pretty sweet. I really like how it goes across your dresser things. Very creative. Good work. But, you know, I'm not in the 'ball-machining-business' so don't take everything from me. Maybe you could just use more cool element things like ferris wheel spin thengys instead of just track.
