Lightbulb K'Nex Ball Machine: Project Double-Lift

BGTKing told me about posting threads for models, so here I am.

This is my biggest ball Machine I've ever made. It uses two lifts that lead to the same place! That makes more track time than lift time! If anyone is wondering how the dual lift system works; you've come too the right place!

The first path leads to lift two. The second path leads to lift one. The third path leads to lift two, and the last path leads to lift one.
The two lifts are powered by one motor. The picture below can show how that works.


And on to the video;

Thanks for the view!

Good idea with the double lift to improve efficiency. I always get lost when watching the videos of ball machines because they are so complex. Great job.

Nice Job! I also like the double lift. That way twice as many balls go down.
