Title: Icarus, a knex ball machine
Post by: Sorunome on May 27, 2015, 07:27:51 am

I guess I'll never stop making knex things, as I already started working on a new ball machine, this time going for height!

Wow, so tall

Will it actually be able to lift the balls to that height? That would be aazing.

What mechanism are you using to get the balls to the top?

Just the standart knex lift that carries the ball up, the same lift as in my ball machine Everest (http://sorunome.de/everest)
