Couldn't think of a good name for this machine... So I made it a paradox!

It has 8 paths and 5 lifts!

probobly uses around 5-6K pieces, but I am not sure. (And I am to lazy to count lol)

Took me almost 2 weeks to film/edit, and only 4 hours!

Also, this machine is incredibly camera shy! (like all my knex machines...) I tested everything before filming, and everything is working around 80% of the time. And then the camera turns on... suddenly, everything works only ~10% of the time! it's like magic!

I know, it sounds like coincidence... but when I put the ball down the track and it works, then I turn the camera on and try 20 times in a row and they all fail... then I try without filming and it works first try... I'm just saying.
