Nice, I like it!
To element request: something cool and unique!

Or, make a trampoline that the ball jumps across the treehouse
Build some stuff outside of the treehouse
Some other cool looking stuff at high-speed

[Sniggeh]

A wall ride? Like picks up speed, goes off wooden wall at an angle, then caught and goes on it's way.

A swing that uses a ball resting on a small platform with enough space for two balls that swings down to the side using four arms and swings the first ball onto the next section of track and the cycle repeats with the new ball.

To be honest I haven't worked on this in quite a while. I have sorta lost interest in this one and it is taking up a lot of space in my treefort. I wanted your guys opponion on rather I should keep this or move to my bedroom and keep all the elements I have now.

[Sorunome]

Well, in a treehouse it would be cool
But if you lost interest it would really be better if you'd move it to your bedroom, would then be better than nothing

EDIT: Just noticed I really like this smiley ()

[Rollerfreak987]

Move it into your bedroom this looks awesome, I think for my next project I may make a ball machine around my room. Don't cancel!

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Ok, I have started this in my room now. This is what I have for today. The picture is a crapy one I took with my iPod. Anyway I have a arch that goes over my bed supporting the back track and the speed track.

Here is the link to the picture: Mobile Photobucket

Comments are appreciated and as before I will be taking element suggestions.

[Sorunome]

It looks nice!

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^ Thanks

Ok I got a bit more done today, I made a new path with a loop and continued to work on the drop.

The worm gear for the electric motor has been stripped so I am waiting for a new one to come. I also took the advantage to order 5 more balls (to make 9 total) and 50 gold track connectors.

With the new track connectors I will be able to make a new path, either 1 jump and 1 half loop or 1 giant loop. You guys decide.

Don't forget to comment and as well I'm still taking element requests.

[Sorunome]

Pic's looking nice!
And make that a ball drops on a trampoline and bounces to a other trampoline

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^ I will try to do somthing like that.

OK, I have a short 0:30 video that I made this morning. It is a preview of that I have so far, with a estimated completion date of Fall 2012.

EDIT: Upon reviewing the video, I noticed it seems to be a bit choppy, I don't know if this is a problem with the upload or not.




Comment!
Also, as always, I am still taking element requests.

From what elements I saw, it looks pretty good. Can't wait for the final video!

[Micronex]

Looks good in my opinion!

[msoccerkidm]

I love the sound it makes when it runs through the course. Nice Job

[Sorunome]

It is looking very nice so far!
/me can't wait for fall, lol

Thanks. I can (back to school)


Ok, I have got the center arch put up. The entire machine is about 1/4 to 1/3 complete. I'm waiting for some parts to arrive, so I can continue work.

Some plans for elements are ball arms, a jump, second loop, a arm that crosses over my door, double raceing track and much more.


I really would like some name suggestions.

Finally, a overview of what is done so far

Sorry for the blurry pictures. I used my iPod to do the update.


Comment, and as always, I'm still taking element requests.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

No comments?

Ok, some of my parts arrived so I was able to complete and link up the fourth path. I took a short video of the ball traveling through each one.




Comment, and I am still taking element requests,but not for long.

[Rollerfreak987]

Well, it looks as if you have a lot of elements, I can't seem to think of any off the top of my head, but the name is good, very creative.
