Knex ThatThing Ball Machine Instructions

Hey guys, this is my final ball machine for a while so I hope you enjoy it! If someone could tweak my design I would greatly appreciate it! I also decided to show you the crazy guy behind the curtain! Cheers!

P.S: This is the beta instructions, and a video will be posted soon.

Update 15-5-19: Added pictures of the original build from a while ago.

Update 15-5-19: Fixed fatal mistake with drive shaft for crane in step 1( added pictures of corrected shaft)

Update 21-5-19: Fixed fatal mistake with the connection with the claw and the drive shaft. Look for the annotation in step three.

Since this was sort of a Rushed instructable, you will be seeing chunks of things instead of pieces but you'll have more than enough views to make it. I also corrected a fatal mistake with the drive shaft. The first two pictures show the correct build of the shaft.

Big step!

Time for that new lift!

The bridge is 36 yellow rods long.

Almost done!

This machine was actually built 2 years ago and I used these pictures to copy it for the instructions. You can see some subtle differences like how it is geared differently for an electric motor which I omitted for convenience. If I could just see the connections from the crankshaft to the crane it would be working perfectly. Darn!
