This is a ball tower that i built in 11 days. it has 15 paths, 10 motors, 6 lifts. It was fun building it. im not going to post my original ball tower i built out of its lack of skill in building it. This ball tower is only 1 of many to come. It is a relatively simplistic build. The next one will be much more complicated.

Wow! Great build! A few sections of the track are a little slow, but the speed as a whole is very good. And that tire launch blew my mind!

You sir, have built a very nice (and very large) ball machine. I might have a go at making one at some point. Won't be huge though.

@pkiknex35 some of the tracks had to be slow unfortunately, because i had to traverse a relatively large distance without going down much, for instance going over the bed, i couldn't lower it much without it affecting how i woke up or slept. Thanks for the feedback!

@helmut i figured out how to post it when i actually went through the feed and actually read it. thanks!
@jester1960 thanks!
@pkikenx35 thanks on the ball launcher, i had one in my previous build that im not going to post that wasnt quite as effective as that one, seeing this positive feedback on the ball thrower im considering putting it in my next tower!
@chubbs33 Its large, but simple in design for the most part. im considering setting a limitation on the amount of space i can use for the one im building after christmas, however i do already sort of have a plan for another large structure ball tower. And thanks on the ball thrower.
