Default Knex Marble Track

I've always wanted to try and make a track for Marbles with knex. Its easy enough to do, but i never could figure out a lift system that was reliable.

I came up with a conveyor belt sort of lift. It works very well, but takes up a lot of pieces. The chain has over 800 pieces just on its own.

Most creative lift system I've seen so far.

I really love the right track, how you used the orange halfmoons for the random paths.
The left one is a bit too noisy for me
