The ball rols in this element.
This element is like toeti's element in obligation, but since that element doesnt work whit the newer style balls i decided to make one that works whit the newer style balls.
This one is less costumizaible but you can make nice curves and twists whit it.

Be sure that the ball enters this element whit speed others it won't work.
