Knex Pull-back Car, Ball Machine Element

This element is a lever and a car. The lever engages a motor which pulls the car to the top of a ramp. Then the ball gets on the car and drives back down the ramp.

This was used in my most recent ball machine: https://youtu.be/-u3Mi7ozmv0?t=25

This is where the ball waits while the car is getting pulled back.

This gear will be attached to the lever. This is what engages the motor to the rest of the mechanism.

This holds the lever so it doesn't tilt too far backwards.

When the lower gear has does 3/4 of a revolution, it will force the lever to tilt back. This will disengage the motor, release the ball, and let the car go down the ramp.

This stops the Disengaging Gears from rotating too far backwards.

This is what pulls the car up the ramp.

This helps the ball land properly on the car.

Once you're done, tie this to the Reel, and build a track for the car to go on.
