Knex 'Slider' Ball Lift
This lift is quite like the 'alternator' lift, but at a 45 degree angle. It's also a lot more piece efficient.
It is also easily modified to get higher.

Making a Scaffold
This scaffold will be made of 'cubes' and a slope down the side.
Part of the scaffold is left out, on the black rods around that there are dark grey connectors.
There is also a small ramp at the orange connectors, a yellow connector at the top, and extra base at the bottom, front.
Moving Part
This is the bit that slides up and down.
Adding That
Clip the previous step onto the dark grey connectors in the gap.
Roof
This is the part that goes above the slider so the ball doesn't go down.
Attaching the Roof
Attach each of the blue rods to the scaffold.
Entrance Track
This is where the ball enters the lift
Adding the Entrance
There are six places to connect the green rods.
Motor Parts
This is the crankshaft and the motor.
Putting It Together (Finished)
There are five connections to make.
What If Your Slider Is Jamming?
Put a spacer on any of the red rods like in the pictures.
