Day and Night V2: a Knex Ball Machine

5FC46179-869A-4286-BCF9-51C5D6C31722.jpeg

So a lot of months ago I was sitting at home wondering what to do. Then I remembered that there was a unfinished pile of knex pieces that just were asking to be built into a ball machine. So I contacted boostyrocket and he agreed. And after we built it (which was very painful seeing that my pictures sucked), we built some modifications. Hope you enjoy it.

Boostyrocket: we had already built it, taken pictures to remember and taken it apart. So we were like thanks to our pictures this will be easy. We had bad pictures. Suffice to say we got it built, improved it, and made it better. We now present (along with Shadowdragon) the new and improved Night and Day ball machine! (No reference to the movie, though a ball machine based off that would be cool.)

Supplies

A brain. An electronic device. Lots of Knex. Ping Pong balls. Eyes. If you have these vital components you can build this ball machine. Oh, and you need a blue motor. Also basic needs.

The Base

I pretty sure the pictures speak for themselves but if you have questions just tell me the step and the picture.

Boostyrocket: In this step you shall build a wonderful structure called a struc… oh. I just said that. Well, you get the idea.

Boostyrocket: We thought that attaching a moon and sun to the lift to resemblance the rise and fall of the sun and moon was clever.

Boostyrocket: This adds character. It also helps the overloading of the senses to be amplified. Enjoy!
