Botanism - KNEX Ball Machine
This is a little something I decided to add to my modified arm lift. Instructions for lift:https://www.instructables.com/id/KNEX-Modified-Arm-Lift/
This ball machine features 1 lift, 4 paths, and bezempje95's path separator. (I modified it.)
HERE'S THE VIDEO:
This ball machine features 1 lift, 4 paths, and bezempje95's path separator. (I modified it.)
HERE'S THE VIDEO:
The Bottom & Network
This is where the balls will land on and then head to the dispenser to be lifted up to the top.
Path Separator
This is bezempje95's path separator I built with the help of Knextreme's ball machine element guide. I modified it so it can work with the black & white balls. I also modified it so that the path separator has four paths rather than five for those who want to build this with small ball machines.
Path 1
This path includes my new type of curve pathing but needs supports as shown.
Path 2
This path features a new type of a basket that catches flying balls. Mine works with the ball safely landing on a red-ball dropper.
Path 3
Not much good about this path, I built this path so poorly because this was my last path I constructed and I wanted to rush.
Path 4
This path is my personal favorite. I call it "the triggering path." The element at the beginning of this path runs on a rod then slips off the right side. Also featured is 95martb's Horizontal Arm Lift I modified that when it rises, a rod on the back will push the ball on path 1 forward from its position.
