This is my Entry of the 1 week coaster contest.

This coaster is completely automatic and it took me 5 days to design and build.

How it works: The coaster car comes flying down into the half loop, hits a arm wich releases a ball, The ball falls down on a switch, The arm+the lift starts to run (there are 2 motors attached to 1 switch), The lift brings to ball back to its original place, The arm brings the car to the top of the half loop, throws the car of, hits a lever witch turns the 2 motors of.

here are the pictures

Dude, you are such an awesome builder. That is so small, yet so freaking awesome! And the mechanism kicks ass, too! Now we have 2 RWT's

I dot get it too, but it looks very awsome and complicated!

Total genius. It's amazing how you used that marble to turn on the motor and to turn on the little elevator. I like how ingenious the mechanism is. Totally awesome.

Awesome! It's just like a really complicated automatic switch.

Wow, I can not believe how you can make a working automated system in such a short time! You sure are a great member of Dutch Details!!
