Hello everyone, I just wanted to give you an update on how the lift is doing. It's an arm that uses fishing line to go up and back down. The ball falls into a bucket on the arm, and that pushes a switch (very similar to the car I had made) to make the arm go up. But, unlike my old lift, it doesn't need another ball to go back down. A switch on the top of the arm locks into place with another switch, making the arm go down. I still have to build the places where the balls exit and enter the arm, which shouldn't be too hard.









I probably won't be posting any more updates unless it's really important. I just wanted to let you know what I'm replacing the old lift with.

You are amazing, in every ball machine U use a lot of elements. And U got so many lift systems. I can't wait for this ball machine! =O

It takes to much time to get one ball up. Is it possible to get 3 or 4 balls up at once?

Nope. The slowness of this lift won't matter though, there will be other lifts taking the balls to the top.
