That is awesome!
And i got an idea: Maybe you could make like a basket underneath that catches the balls that don't make it and thus have a wacky funny random path separator
Haha thats always the last resort before completely scrapping the path
As promised here are some progress pictures
As of these pictures i have 2 completed paths, 3 that are atleast half way done, and an entrance to another built.

BTW, a warning, the zigzag element in the center of the 4th picture can be very un-reliable.

That looks pretty awesome, can't wait to see the finished ball machine! And I noticed, are you building color-coded with metalic/non-metalic pieces?
Thanks! We would be doing t hat, but i only just recently sorted colors of pieces, so all of my 5 ways, 2 ways, blue rods, and a few others were all in one tub together, so basically as i progress along the ball tower, it will be color coordinated, but the way we build is we use 1 color part till we run out, then switch to another.
I like it so far. Lots of paths! Is it only in half the room? How big is the room?
BTW, a warning, the zigzag element in the center of the 4th picture can be very un-reliable.
Thanks! and by my math it should have roughly 35 paths on it (the most ive ever seen is 24). It occupies the whole room, mostly around the edges, but the 1st and last portion, the room is 15' by 14'.
As for the zig zag, it has been rather reliable for me, but in that pic i hadnt put on the pieces that make it almost perfect.
And now for an update. no video yet as i havent finished alot of paths because im waiting till i start some others to get all of the lifts in to determine how long i need to make them.
