New K'NEX Ball Machine Lift - Two Arms

Hey everyone! A friend (lexi) requested me to improve a lift design he'd created. He had some troubles making a reliable entry path, so I helped him out. The solution I came up with is the addition of a secondary arm with a sliding motion. I am really happy how it all worked out! I have not featured it yet in one of my own ball machines, but the lift works 100% reliable as far as I know. It took me about 2 days from start to finish. I hope you all like it!
Ps. Feel free to send your build when it is finished, im very curious! :)
