Project Uno - the Jamalam's First Attempt at a Ball Machine!

Hello everybody! This is my first attempt at a ball machine, I have built none ever before, and I used Darth trainman's instructables to help me, so some elements I give credit to Darth trainman for.
Pros
Have fun!
Nb. No piece count yet, because I am no good at them, can someone give me a piece count?Also, this ball machine can support at least 4 balls, i cannot test more because I don't have them :P
Pros
- Sort of piece ammount friendly
- 2 paths
- 2 towers
- Some elements!
- Some steps may be hard to follow, because I thought that if I broke it up too much, I couldn't put it back together again afterwards.
- May need editing for my low amounts of gears
Have fun!

This is seriously the hardest part to build on the entire machine... I hope you don't believe me...
Get Some Balls!



get at least 4 balls, i don't know how many it will support, but tell me.
Anyhow, add a motor to the red rod in the third picture, and it will work well. Send me a film!
