Spoiler

So, I'm working on a new knex ball machine! Currently I'm making an elevator lift using a different mechanic than shadowmans (i already planned to do that since like 2 years >.<)
So, i also need a name for it, i would be happy if you guys could help me out!

Don't post your pics as attachments, they are broken. Upload them somwhere else and use img tags.

So far it is!

Ha, thanks!

And here is more: the mechanism of the lift is working, I only have to add a exit track!
Enough talking, here are pics:

There you go! Next time try taking the image url, not the link to the page it's on (right click and look for "Copy Image URL" and take that instead)

^^ Why does it seem that everybody cares about that f**ing game! It's not fun if you can't beet it . Anyway... i can't see the pictures. And good luck!

[Sorunome]

I used now a other image hoster, wierd, it worked before......

[MuddyFingers12]

I can see them now Thanks!

Looks pretty good! How big do you think the base will be? How many paths?

[Sorunome]

I can't awnser any of those two things yet, i come up with everything while i build.....I know it is a big mess ^^

[tornado96]

It would be cool if you could show more pics of the mechanism and explain how it works.

Also i'd like to complement you on this so far. THe reason i didnt like catastropha so much was how messy and non structural it looked. THis is looking great already. Continue on! Also that snowflake connector in the entrance track is disconnected

[DHB]

Nice! Are you gonna to make a video about this lift?

Lol, i already noticed the white connector, but thanks!
And my mechamism ended out working exactly like shadowmans, so like the gearing in car is working....

You'll have to wait for that till the ball machine is done, sorry
That's just how i rule ^^

EDIT:
My lift isn't working anymore all of a sudden.

The lift looks great so far! But, I don't think you should give up on it just yet. From what I know the problem with it is not enough power. Making it computer-controlled won't solve this problem. You could try adding on another motor. I'm not really sure what the exact problem is, whether it be mechanism failure, too much friction, or a combination of those. I'm also not exactly sure of how this lift works, so I can't help you too much. Anyway, I'm hoping you'll be able to fix it before you decide on making it computer-controlled.

[Sorunome]

The problem is that the sliding gear part decides not to slide all the way to the other side and thus instead of changing direction it is stopping. (You should know what i mean by this, i mean, you use the same mechanism)

[Sorunome]

um......what have i done O.O

[FrIeDeGgS]

Ooh that looks pretty cool right there
